Default Michael J Fox, MAY Not be able to do the game

His parkisons has been noted as having become severe enough to inhibit his ability to do voice over work. If he did it, it would be difficult and very time consuming. If you look at his imdb page you'll see that while he has been active in spurts there also tends to be lulls in his career in the last 10+ years.

Its really a shame too because I'd love it if he could do the voice. (Heck I'd love a classic Spin-City based adventure game.. >.>)

That's a topic discussed in the voice actor thread. You'll also notice some rays of light in there - an MJF TV appearance from beginning of May in which he sounds "good" at least...

There is really 3 things that can come in the originals actors way. The most likely is, Telltale simply cannot afford them all, its sad, but i just doubt they can afford them, the secound is they dont want to do it, and third that they are busy.

Common now, I think we all knew the chances of Michael J Fox doing any VO work was slim at best.

they have some side effects ... like, well some little explosions may occur if you try to move it or put it near warm places.
and it's not my fault, Tim Schafer created me.

The last movie I saw Michael J. Fox in was Stuart Little 3, and that was pretty much it. It really sucks now that he has to put up with this disease thats already forced him into retirement some time ago! I just hope Telltale can find the right replacement for him in this new Back to the Future game.

Seriously, though: I fear there will be a lot of broken dreams and hearts concerning the BTTF games and original actor participation. That MJF might not be in it is pretty much the most foreseeable of all possible disappointments.

It's too early to judge anything, though. We don't even know if Marty McFly is in the game yet...

EternalStar didn't said that he definitely will not be in the game, he was just assuming, you can see that from thread's title: "Michael J Fox, MAY Not be able to do the game"

if telltale can't get Michael J Fox, then they should get this guy

his impression is spot on.

With all due respect to the thread title, topic and its implications, might we actually not have an epic derail here?

Personally I don't think having Michael J Fox is essential. It would be nice to get a cameo from him but I don't really see what they could do with Marty given that the trilogy basically covers his story. Don't get me wrong, I would love it if Telltale do find a way using Marty as the player character or just as main computer controlled character. For me the only real key character is Doc Brown as it's his time machine that we should be using (though obviously that isn't a certainty at this stage).

I would love it if he could do it.... but if his health prevents him from doing so I am not going to throw a big fit.... as long as they hire someone who knows and respects the character and does their best at it.


BTW he was freaking awesome in Rescue me... well into showing the symptoms of Parkinson's disease.... He has an awesome talent despite the limitations... it will be a sad day for sure when he is no longer able to do anything.

I agree, and it goes for the same with christopher Llyod.
