His parents, Bill and Phyllis, moved their ten-year-old son, his three sisters, Kelli, Karen and Jacki and his brother Steven to Vancouver, British Columbia after his dad, a sergeant in the Canadian Army Signal Corps, retired. It was during these years that Michael developed his desire to act. At fifteen, he successfully auditioned for the role of a ten-year-old in a series called "Leo and Me" (1976) . Gaining attention as a bright new star in Canadian television and movies, Michael realized his love for acting when he appeared on stage in "The Shadow Box". At eighteen, he moved to Los Angeles and was offered a few roles in television shows but early acting success ended fast when the roles stopped coming. For a while he survived on boxes of macaroni and cheese. Then his agent called to tell him that he got the part of Alex Keaton on the TV series "Family Ties" (1982). He starred in the feature films, "Teen Wolf" (1985), "High School U.S.A". (1983) (TV), "Poison Ivy" (1985) (TV) and "Back to the Future" (1985). Fox has also guest starred in the comedy Scrubs as a doctor suffering from an obsessive-compulsive disorder.
