Michael J. Fox says his part in the hit TV show “Shrinking” wasn’t just a small little acting gig … but something much more.
Photographers caught up with the movie and TV star at LAX Saturday … and he was asked what it was like playing Jerry on the show — a man with Parkinson’s disease, just like himself.
Take a listen for yourself … Michael says this part was more than just a TV role to him — though he also added it’s nice to go to set and do the work.
Fox was also asked about his legacy … to which he responded he’s not worried what people think about him after he’s dead.
MJF dove into who inspires him, too … especially since he’s an inspiration to so many — and, he points to Freddie Roach, a well-known boxing trainer who also has Parkinson’s.
Basically, don’t try to shrink the importance of this role, Michael says … it’s an important one.
