Michael J. Fox Guest Stars On 'The Good Wife' (VIDEO)

ew.com:

In portraying a lawyer who used his "neurological condition" to distract and sway jurors, Michael J. Fox used the fact of his Parkinson's disease in an artfully witty way on this week's The Good Wife. Fox's wily Louis Canning made distracting moves and noises in the courtroom, hijacking attention away from Julianna Margulies' Alicia and her legal team.

It was a clever idea and performance, and typical of the way The Good Wife constantly merges fiction with real life.

I was so glad to see him on the screen again. He played well like the true professional he is. Love that show. I hope he can get more parts or a recurring role.

Michael J. Fox did a great job on The Good Wife. Thanks to the writers also for making Tardive Diskenisia known. (not sure if I spelled TD correct).

I always liked him as an actor. Not when he was in serious roles though (like the cocaine addicted writer he played). Boring flick.

I didnt see the episode, but I'll Hulu it or see it some other way.

I saw an interview with him yesterday and is was heartbreaking to see him struggling so. Then look at Bush this AM grinning like an idiot and bragging on how he's a content man. It makes you wonder if there's a God that could allow this and validates that life is just not fair.

Michael J. Fox did an excellent job on last night's episode. He's long been a favorite of mine. It broke my heart to his illness, for a while, kept him from doing the thing that he loves so much. Good to see him back at it again.

This was a good episode. MF's disability was nothing compared to the actual story lines. The show didn't focus on it much.

What an inspiration this guy is! Mr. Dignity with an ever present sense of humor. Been a fan for his entire career.

BTW - Great episode on a great show.
