Woohoo welcome to my essential tremor club. In what fucking way is it essential? Shaky ass bitch, fucking hands jiggling and making it impossible as a child to draw or write on hot day or after any physical activity. Genetics is bitch ass.
I have a feeling I'll get to relive some parts of my life. My grandfather lived with it for 25 years. It didn't get him, nor did the multiple heart attacks. Man was made of friggin dolomite.
Everyone is always 'Back to the Future Back to the Future' but man, I loved him in The Secret of my Success. I think I might even enjoy that more these days.
Met him just once, my coworker recognized him, panicked, and... threw herself on the floor out of sight. He saw her do it and was laughing, very sweet. Super nice, personable and a lot shorter than I'd expected (we need more short role models man)
The magic of movies/TV hides that there's more short kings out there than you'd expect. But we need more of them! Most men ain't 6".3' & loads of great actors don't get parts just due to height.
Yup, same here. BTTF is still one of my favorite movies. And I'd watch Spin City every night, also because 12 y.o me was deeply in love with Jennifer Esposito and Connie Britton.
Who downvotes this? A great human being who is bringing much needed attention to a horrific disease. He was brilliant in Scrubs and so many movies. I can't wait to see this!
Maybe they think anything showing someone with a disability is disrespectful to those with it. There will always be some trying just too damn hard, and missing the point.

Still is such a good name. Ive met a few welders with "manganese induced parkinsonism." Harmful exposure that causes shaking in a job that

Requires dexterity & fluid movements. Brutal shit. Life really can fuck ya right up the pooper sometimes, ya know?

He was a big part of my childhood. TVs and movies, and never a bad performance

My memory is telling me that he had worked on a show in Canada when he was quite young, and he, and 2 other actors developed early onset Parkinson’s

His book, Lucky Man (which seems like this is based on) is an excellent read, and a great insight into him and his life.
jicahmusic
I was struck by how genius the title is, looks like a great watch.
feren
This looks like it will be a fascinating insight into the personal struggles he had with his health before it became public knowledge.

Agreed. Totally agree. Shows his range more and it’s funnier.

Not one clip of Midnight Madness that started it all? Please seek out this pre PC Disney movie, burn some herbs and buckle up.

Will watch. Breaks my heart, grew up with this awesome human being.

Spin city just wasn't the same without him.

I feel like that with Fox on the show it was a balanced ensemble. Without him it was the Charlie Sheen show

Here’s a great podcast where Alan Alda interviews Michael about Parkinson’s (Alan also has it) https://clear-vivid-with-alan-alda.simplecast.com/episodes/michael-j-fox-how-to-keep-going-when-life-gives-you-speed-bumps-Y83Tk8rp

Sounds like the right circumstances under which to suggest a friend with Apple+ should have a viewing/(potluck?) dinner party

Yas! Those Scrubs episides were great, they cut it so perfctly his Parkinson's was barely noticeable too

Though I think it played a part; the frustration his character with OCD displayed seemed pretty genuine.

You know how imgur hates selfies? Well, some don't like advertisements that aren't labeled as such either.

I always downvote the "who downvotes?!" comments on the assumption they're just point farming.

Whoa. Thats going to be a heavy doc.

will there be something wrong with gravity in this picture?

There's that word again, "heavy". Why are things so heavy in the future? Is there a problem with the Earth gravitational pull?

I'm going to go ahead and start crying now to save time.

Must be something wrong with the gravity now.

A heavy Doc? I didn't see Christopher Lloyd in the trailer. And anyway, he's always had a pretty slight build
