Michael J. Fox joins The Good Wife

Since semi retiring from acting in 2000, this marks his first full time role since then. According to multiple sources, he'll be playing:

A sharp-witted lawyer who uses his medical condition to win the jury’s sympathy for his client, a giant pharmaceutical company facing a class action lawsuit. And Simon’s medical condition just so happens to be Parkinson’s Disease, a disease the 49-year-old Canadian actor has been battling for nearly 2 decades.

Michael started a foundation for Parkinson's Disease. To visit and make a donation, check it out here. In a statement from the producers of The Good Wife, they're happy to have him.

“We’re absolutely thrilled that Michael has agreed to play this role,” the show’s producers Robert and Michelle King said in a statement. “His intelligence as an actor, combined with his incredible comic timing will really bring this smart, cynical lawyer to life.”
