Michael J Fox
In early 1985, Michael J. Fox was one of the biggest stars on television. His world was about to get even bigger, but only if he could survive the kind of double duty unheard of in Hollywood. Fox's days were already dedicated to rehearsing and taping the hit sitcom Family Ties, but then the chance of a lifetime came his way. Soon, he committed his nights to a new time-travel adventure film being directed by Robert Zemeckis and produced by Steven Spielberg, Back to the Future. Sitcom during the day, movie at night - day after day, for months.
Fox's nightly commute from a soundstage at Paramount to the back lot at Universal Studios, from one dream job to another, would become his own space-time continuum. It was in this time portal that Alex P. Keaton handed the baton to Marty McFly while Michael J. Fox tried to catch a few minutes of sleep. Alex's bravado, Marty's flair, and Fox's comedic virtuosity all swirled together to create something truly special.
In Future Boy, Fox tells the remarkable story of playing two landmark roles at the same time - a slice of entertainment history that's never been told. Using new interviews with the cast and crew of both projects, the result is a vividly drawn and eye-opening story of creative achievement by a beloved icon.

This is a fantastic book.
Written and narrated by Michael J. Fox, who played Marty McFly in the Back to the Future movie series, this book reveals a lot of information about the production of the film and Michael J. Fox's life during that time including the fact that he would work on a TV show during the day and Back To The Future in the evening.
I had originally planned to buy this book physically, but when I heard the sample of it on Audible and found out that Michael J. Fox was narrating it, knew that I had to have it as an audio book instead.
Michael J. Fox does a fantastic job of narrating this book, his comedy background making his narration funny and very enjoyable.
I loved the fact that Michael J. Fox included clips from the film, recollections about the scenes he is relating from other actors and crew members from the film (actually spoken by them) and the fact that some of the lines and actions in the film are spontaneous by Michael J. Fox just to make the film funnier.
He revealed that his actions/lines would be well received by the crew and after the director had called Cut, the crew and other cast members would normally burst out laughing.
This book is absolutely fantastic. If you love Back to the Future this book will be for you.
I will listen to it again in the future.
