Michael J. Fox sagt, dass der Rücktritt im Jahr 2020 „emotionslos“ gewesen sei und dass es „nicht der Beginn einer Kampagne zur Wiederherstellung meiner Karriere“ sei, endlich wieder zu agieren.

> “I was doing … ‘The Good Fight’ — I confused it with Kiefer [Sutherland’s] show [‘Designated Survivor’] because both shows, I had similar issues,” Fox said. “They’re both very legal. I’d have to read screeds of legalese. I couldn’t get it. When I did ‘The Good Fight,’ I had just seen one of my favorite movies, ‘Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,’ and there was a great scene where Leo [DiCaprio] goes back in his room and just lays into himself in the mirror and just goes insane and drinking and crying at his lack of ability to memorize lines and I found myself, similarly, in front of a mirror and I went: Meh! I can’t do it. I can’t do this anymore.” So, let’s just get this puppy done as best I can and … move on with my life. So that’s what I did.”

> “I had retired from ‘Spin City’ and I didn’t really want to do anything,” Fox said when Lawrence called him to do a guest role on “Scrubs,” an offer he accepted. “I did the show and I loved it and [had] all these great offers for things — I discovered this new niche, which is do characters that had some kind of flaw and taking my Parksinsonian issues and translate that into cancer on ‘Boston Legal’ and a form of Parkinsonism on ‘The Good Wife.’”

> “The depth of character, the quality of relationships, the language — it’s just a beautiful show,” Fox told The Times. “And I thought, just do that for its own sake. I don’t have an agenda. Don’t have to be coming back into acting or anything. It’ll be fun. And there’s Harrison Ford, which is insane.”

He’s a real one
