"Back to the Future 3": actors and roles of the famous trilogy

The most successful Hollywood movies - always more than a movie. Usually they spawn numerous sequels, remakes, prequels and turn into serials, cartoons, comics, computer games. The images are replicated, they are used for advertising various goods. Quotations from such films are included in the circulation due to the use in the media, and sometimes even in the speeches of political figures.

So it happened with the cult film "Back to the Future", the first part of which was overpowered by the rabid popularity and rain of prestigious film awards. The film is still considered, according to the verdict of the American Institute of Cinematography (2007), the best in the genre of science fiction.

It is not surprising that after the first part (1985), followed by the second (1989), and then, in 1990, and "Back to the Future 3". Actors-performers of the main roles did not change at the same time.

The cross-cutting idea of the trilogy

The main engine of the original storyline is the idea of a time machine, originated by Herbert Wells in the novel of 1895.

Moving characters from one era to another becomes a source of a lot of funny and sharp situations, unexpected adventures. In the trilogy "Back to the Future 3" actors and roles - characteristic and unique - are especially successful. The fact that in the center of the plot there is not one main character, but some kind of a duet of characters, and became the source of some endless "drive", provided a long life for the film series.

Star Movie Heroes

The role of Marty McFly became a star in the career of Michael Fox. The 24-year-old actor passionately and sincerely played a romantic teenager, keen on unusual adventures and always ready to come to the rescue. It is this role that he owes to a personal star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and numerous clubs of his fans.

"Back to the Future" - a trilogy, the actors of which were a magnificent ensemble. Very successfully found partner of the main character - Christopher Lloyd, who played the eccentric Doc Brown, the inventor of the time machine.

The achievements of Thomas Wilson

To play the role of a bully, an envious person, and at the same time a bandit Biff Tannen was brought to the comedian actor Thomas Wilson. He brilliantly coped with the task of transforming his hero into an old man, transferring him to another historical epoch. Wilson's unique talent has been revealed in many areas: he proved himself as a musician, showman, and later as a writer and creator of numerous and successful comedy shows.

His character in the movie "Back to the Future 3", whose actors have become legends, is not so much a villain and a scoundrel as a miserable loser. A cart with manure, which now and then overtakes him, in the third part finally dealt with the hero. Apparently, he will never get out of a dirty pile. And Wilson managed to provoke even a kind of sympathy for his hero.

«Back to the Future», film of the 3rd

The second film of the cult franchise did not bring its creators the expected great success, despite a whole series of wonderful comedic inventions - technical toys of the future - flying skateboards, wonderful sneakers and other things. But the last part was a brilliant end to the whole movie history. No wonder, recalling how the project "Back to the Future 3" was filmed, the actors-participants talk about the amazing creative atmosphere of relaxedness that reigned on the set.

This time, as the slogan of the film states, "they went too far" - in 1885. Historical scenery reproduce the Wild West, which means that spectators are expected to clash in saloons, chase horses, attack Indians, endless plains - all that makes up the spirit of American Westerns. That's why Marty, without thinking twice, calls himself Clint Eastwood.

By the way, the movie "Back to the Future 3" was actually filmed in historical places, in the famous national park "Monument Valley", on a genuine historical railway.

Christopher Lloyd

How can I not remember that Christopher Lloyd (Doc) has the most direct relationship to American history. It is no accident that he was born in Stamford - one of the first English settlements in the United States. And his mother belongs to the noble family of first settlers, who arrived in New England on the legendary sailing ship "Mayflower" back in 1620. Among descendants of this kind are many prominent American statesmen, poets and litsedeyev. Knowing this, somehow you begin to understand the extraordinary talent and charm of this actor, to see in him aristocratism and independence.

Lloyd did not achieve a noisy popularity, but perfection in his profession. Theatrical artist, who played many roles of classical repertoire in small Broadway theaters, he first appeared in the cinema only at 37 years old. It was the cult movie "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest".

All these qualities, of course, helped him to create a charming aura of Doc's "Back to the Future" (film 3rd).

Mary Steenbergen

In the third part of the series, a well-known actress, Oscar winner Mary Steenbergen, took part . It should be noted that the prestigious award was awarded to her at the very beginning of her career, for the third in her account of her role in the cinema. On the set, she appeared, agreeing to the persuasions of her children - desperate fans of the series.

The actress added a lot of bright colors to the comic part of the film, playing teacher Clara Clayton, a worthy partner of the eccentric Doc. The acquaintance, which began with the discussion of new novels by Jules Verne, ended with a spectacular closing scene: Clara and Doc embark on a journey on a locomotive of time, taking their children Jules and Verne, as well as the dog of Einstein.

In the background of the film "Back to the Future 3"

The actors who played in the episodes are not inferior to the charismatic performers of the main roles. James Tolkan immortalized his name in the tiny role of the principal and his grandfather, the sheriff of 1885.

Unforgettable Michael Belzari, who played a guy who pulled Marty McFly into a car race.

And, finally, the debut of nine-year-old Elijah Wood and the young Billy Zane took place in the film trilogy , which subsequently received wide recognition.

Thirty years later

"Back to the Future" - a trilogy, actors and an army of fans who celebrated its 30th anniversary as a major event. Many cinemas around the world held special shows with live music; Informal meetings of performers, recording of jubilee clips and video-appeals took place; There were many publications about the future fate of the creators of unforgettable movie heroes of the film "Back to the Future 3". Photos from the movie filled the pages of newspapers and magazines in the form of advertising.

Almost all of them successfully continued their creative path, not necessarily associated exclusively with cinema or television. Not lucky only "most charming" Michael Fox. He had to give many years to fight against the disease that had befallen him, to organize a fund that finances ways to treat Parkinson's disease.

Unexpected fame was made by Michael Balzari, who performs with rock bands and has become, over the years, almost the most popular bass player.

Now, thirty years later, one can see that, having become real, the future does not coincide with the one invented at that time, and invented futuristic miracles may seem naive. But this does not detract from the merits of the cult trilogy, which still confirms feelings of camaraderie, disinterested friendship and a thirst for adventure.
