Default Michael J Fox, a few lines!

Please give M J Fox one episode as a supporting character
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmWmkLbYGtY

He can play himself as a older MJ Fox.

This isn't a demand thread, it's a support thread. I think he can do some voice acting for one episode.

No hating, arguing, please. This thread is just a dream idea thread.

Please give him a cameo!
You could easily make everyone happy with just like 5-6 words of dialog. Or 2 sentences to one paragraph. easily.

I second the idea. Give him at least a few lines in one episode.

You really think it was TellTales' choice ?

They tried to get him, because of his condition, he couldn't do it.

He allowed them to use his likeness, that's already saying much, he trusts them. If he could do it he already would. He can't, get over it.

I said no hating. No I don't think it's their choice. But I think they could offer him a few lines in a episode and he could take them.

There's no official word that he can't do a few lines, and even that he won't play a future version of the character. No hating, go hate some place else. This is a dream idea thread.

Honestly even without his condition which isn't the official reason,though it's likely, his voice has changed, his voice has matured. But I think he could do a few sentences of dialog as a older, mature Marty, in a cameo.

This game is only going to happen once, this is the last time BTTF will do anything like this. If he can do a few lines then I think he should. He may have rejected a full role but I feel that a cameo is not out of the question.

Eh.. I think we're good. If we don't got him for one, we just don't got him for all.

I don't think there was any hate in it.

Have you seen the presentation of the 25th anniversary edition with MJF in it?
I sadly doubt MJF would be able to do even a small role.

I really hope they will find one day a cure or better medication for Parkinson's.

I think he was just fine in his recent LetterMan interview that I posted which was like yesterday.

?? I don't get it.
But this isn't going to happen again and if he can do a few lines then I am completely on board for him. I understand he turned down a younger role of himself, that's a hurdle to begin with, alone.
His voice has changed.

But if he could voice a few parts of himself as a older, mature Marty then by all means let him have one, please.

This won't happen again. As it stands now, it looks like we already don't got him for all. It would be nice to have him for a few lines.

he also doesnt look THAT bad in the "tales from the future" documentary. he moves and talks a little bit weird, but thats it.

A few sentences should be possible, shouldn't be a problem.

and he also did this reunite-thing with giving interview, photoshooting and stuff, so its not that he cant do anything at all cause of his disease.

I saws that too. I actually thought it was quite taxing to him.
Hid did very well considering the circumstances, but he cleary had some trouble.

I would have liked him doing a small cameo, but voice acting is also quite tough enough.

I have a huge respect for him and the work he does and can only wish him the best.

He's been pretty active lately though, he's been doing a few interviews. I don't have the disorder, I can't directly relate, but if he can do it then I'd really enjoy just a few lines.

He does things, even though there is cleary trouble, and he pulls them off. He is a tough guy. If he would enjoy doing a few lines, could do a few, I think it would totally be worth it for the 25th Anniversary and for every one involved. Just a few lines would be superb.

I only pictured a few lines, in the game, just something to make fan boys and girls smirk and light up.

edit:
You could easily make everyone happy with just like 5-6 words of dialog. Or 2 sentences to one paragraph. easily.

This is in the moment. Those are past discussions. I physically can't respond to all of those. At this moment and in the future, , I'd like, even if just a small role, to have MJ Fox do 2 lines or 6 words. Even if it's there just to make fans laugh and enjoy the experience more. It doesn't have to be stressful and so serious. This is a fun project! It's a anniversary too! It's meant for fans, it's meant to be fun, why not if possible have M J Fox try a few short lines? Even if it's just a small cameo I'd be in love!

You shouldn't swear to God, taking the Lord's name in vain is a sin, don't you know?

If MJF wants to do a cameo, I'm all up for it.

My worry is that people start to expect and demand too much from this game.

As I said, I'm all up for it, but I would have avoided the capital words in your initial post.
I'm sorry to be arguing with you over this, but kind of demand it in the end TTG to be more active on this (not on purpose, but you do sadly).

But to be honest, it wouldn't surprise me if TTG already asked MJF for a cameo as he is one of the big stars of the movie and no sane company would not try to involve him.
We just have to wait and see.

EDIT:
JAYSUS, seeing all the quotes of you from Vainamoinen, I think you actually demmand it on purpose now. So far I have only seen this thread. which was really the most harmless so far.
Honestly, please stop now.

No more caps. I don't think people should demand too much. I'm not trying to ask for alot myself. I'm just trying to compromise, realistically, and think this could work and really make a fun project that has fans excited even more amazing. This shouldn't be a menacing project, the team shouldn't be demeaning. I'm sure TTG has went to MJ Fox. I'm sure they are nice people who respect him in the up most. I'm sure this is a fun project and it's open to cameos. Why wouldn't they be open to cameos? ?It's for fun, it's the 25th anniversary. There shouldn't be immense stress and agitation. I highly doubt there is. A cameo is usually harmless...

If he can do a few lines, then I think that's good enough for most to all fans. It's a compromise and I think it could really work. Even if it's just one or two lines of witty dialog. That's good enough for most fans.

edit:
So what? I'm excited, I'm a fan. I'm not demanding anything, even if I've been forward in the past. Fans have an idea of what they want from a game, some times they get carried away. I think a cameo is a good and fun idea.
If it's possible, I'd love to see it.

Dude, just relax. The first episode hasn't even been released yet. A cameo could be a surprise announcement one day or it could never happen.
Maybe MJF simply said no. Respect the fact that not everything you want will happen.

Just let it be. I'm pretty sure TTG got your message by now.
The more you push this the less respect you show towards MJF and TTG.

Anyway, I'm out of this thread.

I am excited for this project and if I didn't respect TTG or BTTF ( A Franchise MJ Fox is responsible for making amazing) then I wouldn't be as excited.

Trust me, I'm very aware that everything I want wont happen. Just ask my invisible girl friend named Jenny...

Oh god, seriously, do give it a rest. Yes we'd all want MJ to be in the game. Yes we all wish MJ didn't have parkinsons. Yes we all wish MJ didn't name his son Blanket. But it's not going to happen, so just give it a rest. Be glad they got such a good voice actor that can mimic him well.

Here is the post that should end this discussion lol. =P

What people somehow miss to realize and notice is that Parkinsons didn't just affect Michael's phsysical movement(which people are obviously convinced about that it shouldn't hinder voice recordings which I believe to still be a short assumption) but also heavily his speech. Look at any interview. Yes he can talk, yes he is easy to understand but has he ever produced a clean sentence? No, he has to stutter he hampers there is irregularity in his tone.

To do a recording of a game which is heavy on dialogue, it's going to take him too much effort and energy to deliver the lines in a way he feels need to.
