Stoltz to the Future!

I just learned that Eric Stoltz filmed for six weeks on BACK TO THE FUTURE before Spieldberg deemed him "Too intense"

Mind blown.


EDIT: The best write-ups on the situation I found (With bonus pictures!) is HERE and HERE

I think that Stoltz would be a lot less goofy than J.Fox, which would have made for an interesting performance, but wouldn't have worked for the film.
