=== 1991β2001: Further films and acclaim === In 1991, he starred in ''[[Doc Hollywood]]'', a romantic comedy about a talented medical doctor who decides to become a plastic surgeon. While moving from Washington, D.C. to Los Angeles, he winds up as a doctor in a small southern town in South Carolina. [[Michael Caton-Jones]], of ''[[Time Out (magazine)|Time Out]]'', described Fox in the film as "at his frenetic best".<ref>{{cite magazine |url=https://www.timeout.com/film/reviews/65559/doc_hollywood.html |title=Doc Hollywood Review |magazine=Time Out |access-date=September 1, 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111118081240/http://www.timeout.com/film/reviews/65559/doc_hollywood.html |archive-date=November 18, 2011}}</ref> ''[[The Hard Way (1991 film)|The Hard Way]]'' was also released in 1991, with Fox playing an undercover actor learning from police officer [[James Woods]]. After being privately diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 1991 and being cautioned he had "ten good working years left",<ref name=AARPMag/> Fox hastily signed a three-film contract,{{citation needed|date=January 2022}} appearing in ''[[For Love or Money (1993 film)|For Love or Money]]'' (1993), ''[[Life with Mikey]]'' (1993), and ''[[Greedy (film)|Greedy]]'' (1994).

His last major film role was in ''[[The Frighteners]]'' (1996), directed by [[Peter Jackson]]. Fox's performance received critical praise, [[Kenneth Turan]] in the ''[[Los Angeles Times]]'' wrote; "The film's actors are equally pleasing. Both Fox, in his most successful starring role in some time, and [Trini] [[Trini Alvarado|Alvarado]], who looks rather like [[Andie MacDowell]] here, have no difficulty getting into the manic spirit of things."<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.calendarlive.com/movies/reviews/cl-movie960719-3,0,6464899.story |title=The Frighteners Review |newspaper=Los Angeles Times |first=Kenneth |last=Turan |author-link=Kenneth Turan |date=July 19, 1996 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091031053608/http://www.calendarlive.com/movies/reviews/cl-movie960719-3%2C0%2C6464899.story |archive-date=October 31, 2009 |access-date=May 18, 2014}}</ref> In the 1990s and 2000s, Fox took on multiple voice acting roles.
