Michael J. Fox

Family Ties was one of those shows that could melt the heart of any viewer, just the same way Michael J. Fox could win any of them over in his youth. Airing for seven seasons, Fox did a beautiful job of keeping the show going as Alex Keaton.

All good things though must come to an end, and NBC finished it up with a neatly-packed, two-part season finale. Apparently, the pay was so low apparently that the actor had no choice but to hitchhike to work!
