Fox) in the movie.

On ‘Back to the Future Part III’ we connected in a way we hadn’t on the other films. I came to see how much he loved acting. I never got that before.” “To sit down and talk about acting, and talk about Shakespeare and ‘King Lear’…This guy can play King Lear! People don’t expect that of him. He’s full of surprises,” Fox added. Lloyd’s memoir, “In My Own Time,” comes out next week. Community Guidelines Welcome to the Page Six Community!
