"When else could a boy with a briefcase become a national hero?" So asked "Family Ties" creator Gary David Goldberg. Alex P. Keaton was a fan favorite: the conservative, oldest child obsessed with economics and making it big on Wall Street. Up-and-coming star Michael J. Fox, then 21, portrayed Alex in his classic shirt and tie, with portraits of Ronald Reagan and William F. Buckley in his room.

Michael J. Fox, now 48, has achieved the most commercial success of all the actors on "Family Ties." Immediately following the show, Fox starred in iconic film, "Back to the Future," and later starred in his own sitcom, "Spin City." But Fox is perhaps most known now for his continuing struggle with the neurological disorder Parkinson's Disease, diagnosed in 1991. He now has his own foundation for disease research and has lobbied in Congress for stem cell research.
