He remembers pursuing Hollywood success at the expense of his family and a complex relationship with his dad, William Fox, who was initially set against him pursuing an acting career. Fast forward past his successful Family Ties screen test and a hit first season for the show, and Fox was giving the exec a surprise gift: a lunchbox with his picture on it. In the doc, he remembers his early days in Hollywood involving a tonne of auditions, but also a slew of rejections.

Fox not only gave me someone to identify with—he made me feel like it was possible to be the coolest guy in the room without being the tallest.
