Teyana Taylor’s Daughter Rue Gave the Only Actor Awards Interview You Need to See
Michael J. Fox doesn’t need the DeLorean for a look back at the past.
After all, the Back to the Future star reflected on how becoming an actor changed his life in a rare appearance during the 2026 Actor Awards “I Am an Actor” segment on March 1.
“I moved from Canada to L.A. to try and make it as an actor,” Michael explained from his table at the Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall in Los Angeles. “A teacher of mine told me, ‘Fox, you’re not gonna be cute forever.’ I didn’t know what to say to that, so I said, ‘Maybe just long enough, sir.'”
“After a few years of dumpster diving in L.A., I ended up on Family Ties,” he continued, “where I received the biggest gift of my career. I met my wife Tracy Pollan, who played Ellen, my girlfriend. And she gave me four gifts: our kids, Schuyler, Aquinnah, Esmé and Sam.” (See all the winners at the Actor Awards here.)
