Ben Stein, who played the teacher in FB'sDO, was an actual teacher before he went into acting. He told the story that John Hughes talked to him about the scene where he's teaching the economics class. John Hughes told him, "Ben, just act like you're teaching an actual class. Make it really dry and really boring. You can say whatever you want but it has to actually be true in case later down the road someone looks it up. So it has to be true." I always like to hear stories like that. And Alan Ruck is pretty cool here.

I read in a book about 80's movies that Eric Stolz was originally going to be Ferris. Poor Stolz, a good actor in his own right, but that's gotta sting thinking you could have been McFly AND Ferris, perhaps the two most recognized and heralded 80's teen movie icons.
@hockeyprofit194 жыл бұрын
Theres actually footage of Stoltz as Marty McFly. Its terrible. Zemeckis was thrilled to get Michael J Fox after haggling with the studios. They actually filmed a good chunk with Stoltz, spent a lot of money. But Zemeckis knew the movie needed the real McFly.
@trevgreg24 жыл бұрын
Stoltz was asked in an interview about how he took the Back to the Future thing. He more or less confirmed that he was upset about it at the time, but was happy with the direction his career went afterward (and which he confirmed would've likely been very different had the film succeeded or failed with him).
