Back to the Future’s Michael J Fox reveals his casting for classic film may have cost one actor a key role

As a critic, I always find the backstory of ‘Back to the Future’ fascinating. Most people don’t realize Eric Stoltz was actually the first Marty McFly! He was six weeks into filming when the producers decided it wasn’t working and, rather drastically, let him go. That’s when Michael J. Fox stepped in and, well, the rest is history. It’s amazing to think how different the film could have been!
