Michael J. Fox returns to the small screen this spring starring opposite good friend Denis Leary in four episodes of "Rescue Me" -- but why is he in a wheelchair?
"Me playing a paralyzed guy is, like, hilarious because I'm the opposite of paralyzed," jokes the former "Family Ties" and "Spin City" star, who has been battling Parkinson's disease for 10 years now in public, "so it's tricky just to be still."
The upbeat Fox plays a self-described "dark little nasty guy who is embittered by his disability" in the season five episodes, but adds, "I could easily be this [character], were things to happen differently in my life."
