I don’t get it, when I was a kid, Christopher Lloyd was old and now that I’m old he’s still old

[bobdigi]

So many good actors begrudge their most well known role. I love the fact Loyd has always embraced back to the future.

Why is Christopher Lloyd being interviewed by Sideshow Bob?

[JimElford]

Lloyd really went out of his way to praise Stoltz, true gent.

Christopher Lloyd looks extremely healthy for 77 years old.Good for him.

I grew up in the McFly house and was there for some of the filming. Christoper Lloyd came late to shoot his scene (dropping Marty off after their adventure) and I saw him from afar but he was gone by the time things were finished for the day. Maybe one day I will get to meet him. I n the meantime, Michael came back that evening and watched family Ties with us and all the neighbor kids who had to stay away all day. It was an amazing experience.

Eric Stoltz as Marty was the original timeline.

I've seen the rough cuts of Erik Stoltz playing Marty and it just was not working. It was a very gutsy move to replace him six weeks in. Christopher Lloyd is so classy in his remarks.

[joemasters]

Christopher Lloyd was actually in high school in 1955 XD

My favorite Christopher Lloyd character is still Jim Ignatowski on Taxi.

Just googled to see how old Christopher lloyd is and am in shock. He's 80! Man, I hope he's immortal because he's one of my favs!!

[TheRmm]

Lloyd was great in Stark Trek III. Loved the scene where he tells the gunner to "target engine only" and then kills him after the gunner destroys the Federation ship with a "lucky shot" !!

[gabrielM]

why do keep referring to things as heavy? is there a problem with the earths gravitational pull in the future?

[soolly]

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest was an amazing movie and his laugh at the end was great pure genius

[saymynameice-zen-berg]

I think he’s brilliant. I remember him as Jim in taxi and truly thought they had gotten an incredibly sweet fried stoner. I mean he played it so perfectly, some actors would be type casted after that.
Towards the end of the series he played some really good villains in other stuff most notably the Klingon commander in Star Trek 3 which helped set mold for Klingon’s to come.
He’s such a good actor, who gets recognition but i still think he's under rated.

[MyCovertNarcissism]

Christopher Lloyd being interviewed by Sideshow Bob, that's a pretty cool thing to see.

[kazel]

If you like Christopher Lloyd pick up a movie called The Dream Team it's one of the best movies ever a cult classic

[JohnDoe-lbkc]

christopher lloyd looks like jeese ventura minus the steroids.

[HECTORELPASO]

Eric Stoltz would have been more believable as George McFly's son, at least as far as physical resemblance goes.

[ghanasoul]

If i was Eric Stolz, i would’ve been VERY upset at being replaced after 6 weeks of work! The fact it took that long for them to realize it wasn’t going the way they envisioned it is crazy. Gotta love show biz.
