Michael J. Fox says "Dragoons" strikes a personal chord with him

18 Jun - Michael J. Fox has been cast as the lead voice actor in the upcoming animated feature, "Dragoons".

The actor will be voicing the character Dougie, an ordinary worker at WizCorp who turns into a hero after a freak accident. He also has an apprentice called Dart.

Fox, who has been living with Parkinson's disease since being diagnosed in 1991, has taken a step back from acting over the years but continues to take on select projects.

Speaking about the project, Fox expressed, "Dougie and Dart's story is one I understand deeply, the idea that something immense can be sleeping inside you, just waiting for the right moment to be set free."

"This is a film for anyone who has ever felt overlooked, underestimated or forgotten. I'm honoured to help bring Dougie to life," he said.

The synopsis read, "Transformed into a mighty dragon, Dougie and Dart uncover an impossible truth: their kind were once legendary rulers of the skies, until the ruthless wizard-CEO Hex shrank them, erased their memories and stole their power to build his empire. With this new truth in front of their eyes, and in their hearts, Dougie and Dart must find the courage to rise, awaken their kind and prove that even the smallest spark can light up the sky."
