COLUMBUS — Actor Michael J. Fox on Monday appeared onstage in the hometown of his fictional Republican television character Alex P. Keaton and gave an un-Alex-like stump speech tweaking conservative talk-show host Rush Limbaugh and praising Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Sherrod Brown.

Fox, 45, who is fighting Parkinson's Disease, has been stumping for candidates in Missouri, Maryland, Iowa and Wisconsin who endorse embryonic stem cell research. Monday was his first appearance advocating for an Ohio candidate.

"A vote for Sherrod Brown is a vote for hope and a better quality of life for millions of Americans," he said during a visit to the Michael E. Moritz School of Law on Ohio State University's campus.
