Michael J. Fox – Marty McFly, Back to the Future

Much like Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones, it’s hard to picture anyone but Michael J. Fox as Marty McFly in Robert Zemeckis’ Back to the Future series. However, for at least the first few weeks of production that wasn’t the case. Although Michael J. Fox was the original choice for the role, he was unavailable at the time due to his obligations to the TV series Family Ties. Eric Stoltz was brought in as Marty, but after a few weeks it just wasn’t working out. By that time, Michael J. Fox was finally available to shoot the film and the rest is history.
