The five-time Emmy winner will guest-star on Lawrence's Apple TV+ dramedy in a role yet to be revealed. "Details around the role are being kept under wraps but it may be connected to the character arc of Ford’s therapist Paul Rhoades," says Deadline's Nellie Andreeva. "It was revealed at the end of Season 1 that Paul has Parkinson’s, a disease Fox has been battling for three and a half decades." From 1996 to 2000, Fox starred in Spin City, the ABC sitcom Lawrence co-created with Family Ties creator Gary David Goldberg. Fox left Spin City after four seasons after his Parkinson's disease became serious. Shrinking marks Fox's return to acting after reprising his The Good Wife Louis Canning role on two episodes of spinoff The Good Fight in 2020. Shrinking also marks Fox's return to Apple TV+ after he was the subject of the 2023 Emmy-winning Apple documentary Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie.
