FunTrivia Television Mix: Vol 36 Quiz

Answer: Michael J. Fox

The series ran on NBC from 1982 to 1989. It was about a family that could not be possibly anymore different. Michael Gross and Meredith Baxter played Steven and Elyse Keaton. The two were a pair of self-described hippies. They had four children: Alex, Mallory, Jennifer, and Andrew. Alex, played by Fox, was power- and money-hungry.

He could best be described as a yuppie. He was constantly giving his parents grief over the way he thought and did things. He was not afraid to voice his opinion and was proud to be a Republican.

The other three children were not as extreme in their views as Alex. Michael J. Fox won three consecutive Emmy Awards for this role.
