Great news, MJF (that’s what those in the know call Michael J. Fox) fans! Your hero will be back on episodic TV, doing a guest stint on the hit show Rescue Me!

Michael J. Fox will return to series TV with a four-episode guest role on FX’s “Rescue Me.”

FX also announced on Tuesday that Academy Award-winning actress Marcia Gay Harden (”Pollock”) will be joining the Glenn Close legal drama “Damages” as a second-season series regular, while Ted Danson will return to the show for several episodes.

Fox, 47, a friend of Leary’s, was “really excited about the part,” Landgraf said.

The star of TV’s “Family Ties” and “Spin City” and the “Back to the Future” films was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 1991 and revealed his condition publicly in 1998.

I’m no casting expert but I think Fox’s role should be a pretty exciting one. It’s totally up into air as to how he’ll be characterized, but I’d have to guess his role would be a cement mixer. Or perhaps a martini maker. A paint preparer, maybe. Or a stint as Tatum O’Neal’s vibrator. So many possibilities!
