Alex P. Keaton, the standout character from the 1980s sitcom Family Ties, was a young Republican with a love for capitalism, Ronald Reagan, and briefcases. Played by Michael J. Fox, Alex was the oldest child in a liberal, former-hippie household, creating constant comic tension between his conservative ideals and his parents' progressive values. His obsession with success, politics, and money was both a parody and reflection of 1980s America, and Fox's performance earned him multiple Emmy Awards and launched his career into stardom.
