Fox and Locklear Were Co-Stars in the ’90s Sitcom Spin City
Locklear and Fox starred together in the popular sitcom Spin City, which premiered in the fall of 1996 on ABC and aired until April 2002. In total, the show ran for six seasons and 145 episodes, although neither star was in the show for its entire run.
Fox left the series as the lead in 2000 due to his battle with Parkinson’s disease, while Locklear joined the show in 1999 and stayed on until it ended in 2002, with the two actors only overlapping on the show for a short time. Although Fox left the series after Season 4, he stayed on as executive producer until it ended.
Fox plays the main character, Deputy Mayor Mike Flaherty of New York City, who works hard to save Mayor Randall Winston, played by Barry Bostwick, from any tough situation. Locklear joined the cast of Spin City in Season 4 as Caitlin Moore, a political strategist brought on to help Winston with his senatorial campaign, who often finds herself at odds with Flaherty.
Fox on Why He Left Spin City
In an interview Fox had with The New York Times in 2019, the actor opened up about everything he was going through when he decided to leave the hit sitcom. He noted how he would use intense facial expressions and movements in his acting, calling it “high-level muggery.”
“I could pull a face; I could do a double take. And one of the reasons I left Spin City was that I felt my face hardening,” he went on, before sharing a specific detail about his acting style that changed as a result of his Parkinson’s disease, saying, “If you watch episodes from the last couple of seasons, you’ll see I would anchor myself against a desk or the wall. Eventually it was too burdensome.”
Despite his ongoing health battle, Fox has continued to act over the years, with a highly anticipated role in the upcoming season of Shrinking.
