Besides M. J. Fox’s struggles as an adult to battle Parkinson’s disease and other health issues, only few know that his childhood and upbringing were fraught with challenges and insecurities as well. His path to become a world-renowned actress was not smooth at all.
To say that his childhood wasn’t the most carefree one is nothing to say. Born on June 9, 1961, in Edmonton, Canada, he often experienced relocations given the fact that his father was a member of the Canadian Armed Forces.
He considered acting his true calling since his early years. His theatrical performances led him to a Canadian Broadcasting Corporation sitcom called Leo and Me. He was only 17 when he started to pursue acting in Los Angeles.
His parents always were his biggest supporters who encouraged him to pursue his goals and do whatever his heart wanted to. However, the lack of money and opportunities left a mark on him. «I was leading a marginal life. I was eighteen years old with no money, no connections».
His appearance on «Family Ties» brought his career into a whole new level and soon he became one of the most popular and successful TV figures. This role is remarkable too which received high critical praise.
