The self-absorbed heartbreaker
Michael J. Fox was probably the ultimate heartbreaker of the 80s. Ever since we saw him as Alex P. Keaton in Family Ties, he completely took over the show, even if he was not supposed to be the lead!
The adults were supposed to be the stars of Family Ties, but Alex stole the show. Even if he was a self-absorbed teenager that only cared about money, Michael J. Fox is such a great actor that he made him lovable.
