Actor Michael J. Fox is set to return to acting to portray a role in the second season of the U.S. drama series The Good Wife.

Fox has Parkinson's disease which made him absent from acting for long though he had occasionally guested to shows like "The Practice, "Scrubs", and "Rescue Me".

In The Good Wife he will play Simon Canning a lawyer who will use any means to win his case. "We're absolutely thrilled that Michael has agreed to play this role," says show creators Robert and Michelle King.

The second season of The Good Wife will have its premiere showing on September 28.
