Recalling a funny story about his late mother, the actor explained: "I was 23 years old, and I called her, she was in Canada, and I said, 'They want me to do this Steven Spielberg movie, but I have to do it at night and I have to do Family Ties in the daytime.' And she replied, 'You'll be too tired.'"
He added, "To this day — well, till two weeks ago — my mother thought it was a really bad idea for me to do Back to the Future. She loved the movie, [but she was right], I got tired."

Phyllis was dedicated to raising awareness for diabetes and Parkinson's disease, something Michael himself has suffered with since being diagnosed at the age of 29.
Since taking a break from acting, the star has raised over $1billion to help find a cure for the debilitating disease via his organization, The Michael J. Fox foundation.
