Actors Who Were Cut Out of Iconic Movies Right Before the Theatrical Release

I’ve always been fascinated by the ‘what ifs’ of movie history, and the story of Eric Stoltz as Marty McFly is a prime example! Apparently, he was originally cast and even filmed for five weeks, but the director, Robert Zemeckis, felt he was bringing too much seriousness to what needed to be a much more comedic role. It’s incredible to think they had to reshoot almost the entire movie with Michael J. Fox! And the really cool part? Some people say you can still spot Stoltz in a few of the background shots from the action scenes in the finished film. It’s a little piece of movie magic!
