This man has been an active actor in the industry for over 60 years, he has said several times in interviews that there is no role that is too small for him to take, his resume is higher than his age, he's been in independent movies, plays, television, video games, cartoons, blockbuster movies, theme park attraction videos, and GQ only breaks down 5 of his iconic roles?! Christopher Lloyd has WAY MORE iconic roles than just 5!! What a dis-service to him, the marvelous actor that he is yet not getting the full recognition he deserves, and to us, the fans who grew up watching him!!

He was put on ably for he most threatening Klingon until Star Trek VI. I don't think anybody else could have played him the way Mr. Lloyd did.

Back to the Future is the reason I got into the film industry. I got to meet both Christopher and Lea on the set of a Hallmark movie (my first full feature, coincidentally). Lea wished me good luck with my career on her last day, and Christopher was so kind, funny, and casual. Surely a shoot I will not forget!

I wish I could give Christopher Lloyd a thank you hug for all the enjoyment and laughs he has given me over the years.

Such a beautiful man. I sincerely wish he lives for many more years.

4:50 The change-up of actors was a blessing in disguise because Doc's character now felt worn-in, like a real person already living in the world when we meet him, and Michael J Fox's energy clearly sparked the best performance in Christopher Lloyd after all that good full-dress rehearsal.

I’ve been such a huge fan of this man since I can remember… “Back to the Future” was my favorite movie as a kid (still one of my favorite movies now, which I can rarely say about any movie I watched as a kid), which I watched practically everyday as well as “Clue”, and a huge fan of “Taxi”.

Christopher Lloyd is always Christopher Lloyd. And I'm totally okay with that, because we need more Christopher Lloyd.

Christopher Lloyd was dying to tell his stories. I wish I could sit down with him. I'd listen for hours.

The fact he has anything more than a complete ignorance to Rick and Morty is more than I would ever hope for or dare to desire. But having actual enthusiasm for THAT crossover is incredible and more than we deserve!

BTTF is one of my favorite series. Such a comfort film as it bring back memories of watching the films with my siblings and going to Universal Studios and riding the ride with the fam. A true legend Christopher Loyd is

Everytime i see an interview with Mr.Lloyd he always seems happy to answer the questions (many he's been asked hundreds, if not thousands of times before!) seems like a really good,interesting guy who would be great to have a drink with.

I love imagining Jim Ignatowski meeting Dr. Brown. I can see Jim saying, "I went to the future once ..."

Bless this man for still being on this planet.
