INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
A poignant, heartfelt, and funny memoir about how, in 1985, Michael J. Fox brought to life two iconic roles simultaneously—Alex P. Keaton in Family Ties and Marty McFly in Back to the Future. An amazing true story as only Michael J. Fox can tell it
In early 1985, Michael J. Fox was one of the biggest stars on television. His world was about to get even bigger, but only if he could survive the kind of double duty unheard of in Hollywood. Fox’s days were already dedicated to rehearsing and taping the hit sitcom Family Ties, but then the chance of a lifetime came his way. Soon, he committed his nights to a new time-travel adventure film being directed by Robert Zemeckis and produced by Steven Spielberg—Back to the Future. Sitcom during the day, movie at night—day after day, for months.
Fox’s nightly commute from a soundstage at Paramount to the back lot at Universal Studios, from one dream job to another, would become his own space-time continuum. It was in this time portal that Alex P. Keaton handed the baton to Marty McFly while Michael J. Fox tried to catch a few minutes of sleep. Alex’s bravado, Marty’s flair, and Fox’s comedic virtuosity all swirled together to create something truly special.
In Future Boy, Fox tells the remarkable story of playing two landmark roles at the same time—a slice of entertainment history that’s never been told. Using new interviews with the cast and crew of both projects, the result is a vividly drawn and eye-opening story of creative achievement by a beloved icon.

A gift for “Back to the Future” fans worldwide
It was so exciting to have read in People magazine several months ago that this book was being published! And when I finished reading the book just a few moments ago, I had wished the book didn’t come to an end so soon, it was so hard to put down. “Future Boy” is a wonderful read from start to finish and is recommended for ALL fans of “Back to the Future” - yes, of course we have the visual history book written by Michal Klastorin, but what’s unique about this book is that it’s story of what transpired is told from Michael J. Fox’s perspective, having worked double duty on both “Family Ties” (TV sitcom) and the original “Back to the Future” at the same time.
Michael, thank your for writing this wonderful account of those few months on Back to the Future, again, it was hard to put down. And, I am very interested in a similar detailed book on your time on “Family Ties”.
A Fantastic Read
If you love the movie you should read this book.
