"Michael J Fox has quipped that he can continue to do a great job as an actor as long as he plays a character who has Parkinson&amp;#039;s disease. The actor joked about his illness as he was interviewed on The Late Show with David Letterman on Thursday, about his yet-to-be-titled NBC sitcom. In the show, he will play a newscaster getting back to work after being sidelined for a few years with Parkinson&amp;#039;s disease. The Canadian said that cameos he made on programmes such as Curb Your Enthusiasm and The Good Wife inspired him to get back on the small screen. He said: &amp;quot;I wasn&amp;#039;t doing a lot of work... I just thought, &amp;#039;As long as I play a guy with Parkinson&amp;#039;s, I can do anything&amp;#039;.&amp;quot;  Letterman replied: &amp;quot;Makes pretty good sense.&amp;quot; The show portrays how his character, who has been at home for years, co-exists with his loved ones as he gets back to the grind.  Fox, who has made a big contribution towards Parkinson&amp;#039;s research over the last 12 years, added in the interview: &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s really a devastating illness for some people. We&amp;#039;d really like to figure it out.&amp;quot; Watch Michael J Fox on The Late Show with David Letterman below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
