Shrinking season 3: Harrison Ford on Michael J. Fox
One of the most exciting bits of casting news related to Shrinking season 3 is the presence of Michael J. Fox as a part of the cast. This is his first acting role for the legendary performer in years, and it is believed that his real-life battle with Parkinson’s is going to be essential to helping Paul (Harrison Ford) navigating his own journey.
When it comes to Ford as an actor, having Fox as a resource was more than a little bit useful.

As a part of a fantastic new feature over at Variety, here is some of what Ford had to say about the part:
It’s been essential. Michael’s courage, his fortitude and his grace, more than anything else, is on full display. He’s very smart, very brave, noble, generous, passionate guy, and an example to all of us, whether we’re facing Parkinson’s or not. You cannot help but recognize how amazing it is to have such grace.
So he gives me both a physical representation of the disease to inform myself with, but more than that, he allows me to believe that Paul could believe that he could be adequate to the challenge. The truth is that we can’t be fucking around with this just to make a joke or anything. Parkinson’s is not funny. And I want to get it right. It’s necessary to be correct with what we do in respect of the challenge that Parkinson’s represents, and that we don’t use it for its entertainment value.
We do think that this season is going to be emotional because of what Paul is going through. There will be some laughs but at the same time, we hope there will be inspiration mixed in here at the same time. How can you not want this?
