The query would go something like this.

INSERT INTO actors (name) VALUES ("Michael J. Fox")
INSERT INTO actors (name) VALUES ("Michael J. Fox");

(name) is optional, but it does special which column you want to insert the value "Michael J. Fox" into. Regular SQL doesn't use semi-colons to end commands, but MySQL does.
