Great Scott! It's been a little over 30 years since Marty McFly took the DeLorean back to 1955. Now let's take it back to the future to see what the cast looks like now. Michael J. Fox as Marty McFly Universal Pictures Noam Galai / Getty Images Entertainment Fun fact: Fox was the movie producers' first choice for the role of Marty, but he was unavailable to take the role due to filming commitments on his TV show, Family Ties. So instead, the producers cast Eric Stoltz as Marty. Stoltz filmed five weeks worth of footage before he was let go and replaced with Fox, who the producers were able to get after working out a deal with the Family Ties producers. Christopher Lloyd as Doc Brown Universal Pictures Frederick M. Brown / Getty Images Fun fact: Michael J. Fox, who is 55, is now older than Lloyd was when he played Doc in 1985 (he was 47 at the time). What does George McFly look like now? Click Next to find out. Crispin Glover as George McFly Universal Pictures Rommel Demano / Getty Images Fun fact: Glover refused to appear in the Back to the Future sequels, so producers used archived footage and a look-alike actor, Jeffrey Weissman, to keep his character, George, in the films. Glover was able to successfully sue the studio and the producers in a case that changed the way an actor's likeness can be used on film. Lea Thompson as Lorraine Baines-McFly Universal Pictures Kevin Winter / Getty Images Fun fact: In the early 1980s, Thompson appeared in a Christmas-themed Burger King commercial alongside Sarah Michelle Gellar and her future Back to the Future co-star Elisabeth Shue (Shue took over the role of Marty's girlfriend, Jennifer Parker, in the second and third films).
