Disney Roles
Trivia
- Fox came up with the fake middle initial "J" because there was already another Michael Fox in the union and he didn't want magazine headlines to read "Michael A. Fox". He said that the J stood for "Jenius".
- Fox was also considered for the role of Chicken Little in the 2005 film of the same name, along with Matthew Broderick and David Spade before Zach Braff was chosen.[1]
- He was considered for the role of Obi-Wan Kenobi in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace.
