    Who was the original actor to play Marty McFly in 'Back to the Future' before Michael J. Fox?

    Eric Stoltz was the original Marty because Michael J Fox had commitments to his TV show.

    First they got C. Thomas Howell who was tested for and was nearly cast as Marty McFly in Back to the Future (1985). The role was given to Eric Stoltz (who was later fired in the middle of filming) and then finally, Michael J. Fox.

    Eric Stoltz was originally cast as Marty McFly for BACK TO THE FUTURE (1985), but changed because he didn't act enough like a teenager. When Michael J. Fox was cast, his costume was completely revamped.
