“Marty and Keaton,” he said, referring to his characters Marty McFly, from “Back to the Future”, and Alex P. Keaton, from the sitcom “Family Ties”.
“You’ll get that in life, as if lightning struck twice like that, and have the opportunities to play those characters and [work with] those talented filmmakers,” he said of filming both roles concurrently. “I couldn’t separate the two.”
He said the iconic “Johnny B. Goode” scene in “Back to the Future” is a moment “I’ll have in my heart forever,” adding, “It was such a gift to be able to do that.”
