Michael J. Fox says his role in ‘Shrinking’ was more than just an acting job

Michael J. Fox says his role on the hit TV series “Shrinking” wasn’t just a small acting role…but so much more.

Photographers caught up with the movie and TV star at LAX on Saturday…and he was asked what it was like playing Jerry on the show – a man with Parkinson’s disease, just like him.

Listen for yourself… Michael says this role was more than just a TV role for him – although he also added that it was nice to go on set and do the work.

Fox was also asked about his legacy…to which he responded that he doesn’t worry about what people think of him after he dies.

MJF also reflected on those who inspire him… especially since he’s an inspiration to so many – and he highlights Freddie Roacha well-known boxing trainer who also suffers from Parkinson’s disease.

Basically, don’t try to downplay the importance of this role, Michael says…it’s an important role.
