Sitcom veteran Michael J. Fox will appear in two episodes of NBC's Scrubs next month as a doctor who suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Fox, whose television appearances have been limited because of his Parkinson's disease, is reuniting with Bill Lawrence, executive producer of Scrubs and creator of Fox's last series, Spin City.
"His presence gives great credibility to the show," Lawrence said. "I haven't seen the cast this giddy since we got the news the show had been picked up."
Scrubs airs Thursday nights (Channels 5, 22).
