[2012, on landing Back to the Future (1985)] I was shooting a film in Mexico City that I’m not sure ever came out. But it was shooting in Mexico City, and I was kind of implanted there, focusing on that, when my agent sent me the script for Back to the Future (1985). I scanned it, but I wasn’t terribly impressed, mostly because I’d been offered the chance to go back East and do a play at the Long Wharf Theater in New Haven. I’d be playing Hans Christian Andersen – I grew up with Danny Kaye. And Colleen Dewhurst, an amazing, wonderful actress, was going to be my mother in it, and I just thought, “I need to go back to my roots.” So I just dismissed the Back to the Future (1985) script. And then a friend who was with me at the time said, “My mantra has always been to never leave any stone unturned.” In other words, whenever someone has an interest in you, whatever it is, at least check it out. So based on that, I flew back to Los Angeles, met Bob Zemeckis, and the rest is history.
