Michael J Fox Bio Info

Michael Andrew Fox was born June 9, 1961, in Edmonton, Alberta (he later adopted the "J" as a tribute to character actor Michael J. Pollard). Since his father, William Fox, was an army official, the family moved around a lot during Michael's early childhood. They settled near Vancouver, British Columbia, when William retired in 1966. About the constantly changing settings, Michael said that an "army brat" must "either find a way to get attention or become a wallflower." Of course, he chose the former.
