The Back to the Future star was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 1991 and started up his own foundation in a bid to find a cure for the disease.
He told ABC News earlier this year that a new combination of drugs was helping him with his ailments, which includes tics and tremors, and the medication has enabled him to work more.
The popular actor made his name on Family Ties in the '80s playing lovable Alex Keaton.
