Michael J. Fox Joins Shrinking Season 3: Here Are 3 Wild Roles He Might Play

– Ever since I had numerous reasons for picking Michael J. Fox as my ideal guest star for Shrinking, it was truly exciting when they confirmed he’d be joining the cast in Season 3. Needless to say, I couldn’t help but get excited! As we eagerly anticipate new episodes potentially airing on the 2025 TV schedule, I find myself pondering about the potential roles Fox might take on. In the meantime, here are three concepts that have crossed my mind.

In this rephrased version, I’ve aimed to maintain the original sentiment while making it more conversational and easy-to-read.

Michael J. Fox Could Be A Mentor For Harrison Ford’s Character, Paul

It seems quite fitting to involve Michael J. Fox in the series, as his character could serve as a mentor to Paul, who is portrayed by Harrison Ford and is struggling with Parkinson’s disease. As it’s hinted that things will become more challenging for Paul, it would add depth and meaning to see the actor from Family Ties offer guidance in this context.

As a movie critic, I must confess that the personal journey of Jason Segel’s character in Shrinking is undeniably influenced by his real-life struggle with Parkinson’s disease. This profound connection stems from my dear friend and co-creator, Bill Lawrence, who had a close working relationship with Segel during their time together on shows like Spin City and Scrubs. In an intimate chat with People magazine, Lawrence shared that Segel was his very first mentor in the industry, which has undoubtedly contributed to the portrayal of Parkinson’s disease in Shrinking in a way that is not just accurate but also deeply inspiring.

As a movie critic, I can imagine Michael J. Fox could bring a powerful and authentic presence to a role as a supportive figure for a character dealing with Parkinson’s disease. He might play Paul’s mentor or guide – someone who leads a support group, or perhaps is a friend of a friend that Paul befriends in order to learn more about living with the condition. Fox’s own experiences and advocacy work make him an ideal candidate for such a role, lending depth and credibility to the character he portrays.

It seems to me that including Fox in Season 3 of Shrinking could add a significant and immediate impact. Not only would this allow for their interaction, but the thought of watching them together on screen is almost surreal – a genuine wish fulfilled.

Maybe Michael J. Fox Will Play A Therapist

In the most recent appearance on screen, Fox portrayed Louis Canning in The Good Fight (2020). Earlier, he had embodied this lawyer character as a guest star in The Good Wife. Watching him engage in legal battles with fellow attorneys was always an enjoyable spectacle. Given this past performance, it might be intriguing to see him in a similar profession as several characters in Shrinking.

This opportunity would allow him to collaborate with Ford, Jason Segel, and Jessica Williams, who are all therapists on the show. Additionally, it might lead to further interactions with other notable cast members from the series “Shrinking,” if everything goes as planned.

I Wonder If Michael J. Fox’s Character Could Be Related To Jimmy Or Liz

In my opinion, it seems plausible that the actor from Family Ties might join this series, possibly as a family member of either Jimmy or Liz. Since Jeff Daniels is set to appear in Season 3 as Jimmy’s father, it would be intriguing to explore more about the families of these characters.

It’d be a treat to watch Christa Miller, known for her role as Liz, wife of Bill Lawrence, and a cast member of Scrubs, act alongside Fox. Their sharp humor seems to blend perfectly.

It would also be intriguing to watch the dynamic between Jimmy and Fox’s characters, particularly if there is a familial connection involved.

It’s clear that these speculations about who Michael J. Fox might be playing in Season 3 of Shrinking are exactly that – speculations. We’ll only know for sure once we get a chance to watch it with our Apple TV+ subscription. Given how surprising Brett Goldstein’s role was in Season 2, I’m confident they’ve crafted an engaging and unexpected character for Michael J. Fox. Needless to say, I can hardly wait to see him back on our screens in this popular comedy!
