Fox appeared in 'Teen Wolf' the same year the first film was released and went on to star in movies like 'Doc Hollywood' and 'Mars Attacks,' as well as play the series lead on popular political workplace sitcom 'Spin City.' Doctor Emmett Brown actor Christopher Lloyd built upon the success he had as Reverend Jim Ignatowski on 'Taxi' and went on to appear in more hilarious movie roles, like his turn as Uncle Fester in 'The Addams Family.'

Instead, actor Eric Stoltz was famously replaced and the Marty McFly role was recast, with Fox taking on the character for all three films. Fox as a star after his rise to prominence playing Alex Keaton in the sitcom 'Family Ties.' Fox, of course, played 'Back to the Future' protagonist Marty McFly, though he was not initially cast in the role. The popular film series, directed by Zemeckis and co-written with Bob Gale, helped cement actor Michael J. In 1985, filmmaker Robert Zemeckis launched one of the funniest and just plain fun sci-fi comedies of all time, the 'Back to the Future' franchise.
