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 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eFamily Ties\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, but then the chance of a lifetime came his way.

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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eFuture Boy\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, Fox tells the remarkable story of playing two landmark roles at the same time―a slice of entertainment history that’s never been told.
