FX's "Rescue Me" is in countdown to the long awaited fifth season.
EW's Michael Ausiello reports that Michael J. Fox is nearing a deal to join the cast of "Rescue Me" for "a multi-episode arc."
Fox is set to portray a romantic interest for Tommy Gavin's (Denis Leary) ex, Janet (Andrea Roth).
An FX spokesperson confirms to Ausiello that Fox is being considered, but claimed no deal was set yet.
