"Betsy Brandt has signed up to star in the upcoming Michael J Fox project on NBC. The Breaking Bad actress will play Fox&amp;#039;s wife in the sitcom, which is loosely based on the lead actor&amp;#039;s life.   Fox will play Mike Burnaby - a news anchor with Parkinson&amp;#039;s disease who returns to work following a hiatus. Brandt - who is perhaps best known for her role as Marie Schrader in AMC&amp;#039;s Breaking Bad - will play Mike&amp;#039;s wife Annie. She is described as a tough and loyal partner with a fun streak, and works at the school of the couple&amp;#039;s middle child Eve. &amp;gt; Michael J Fox: &amp;#039;I can play any role as long as they have Parkinson&amp;#039;s&amp;#039; Kate Finneran (I Hate My Teenage Daughter) recently joined the cast as Mike&amp;#039;s sister, while Conor Romero will play Mike&amp;#039;s drop-out son. The currently untitled sitcom has been picked up for a 22-episode first season, with production expected to begin in New York later this month. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
