Although best known for his portrayal of Marty McFly in the Back to the Future films, Michael J. Fox was a star of the small screen first. What was the name of his hit TV show?

Although Fox was their first choice, the Back to the Future filmmakers ended up hiring actor Eric Stoltz due to the restrictions of Fox's Family Ties contract. When Stoltz didn't work out, they went back and successfully secured Fox for the role. According to the actor, he got about three hours of sleep each night while he worked both jobs over the next few months. Given the film's success, it was well worth the lost ZZZZs!
