PICS: This is what the cast of Back to the Future Part II look like now

Great Scott!

You’d barely know it given the, ahem, complete lack of media coverage surrounding it but today, October 21, 2015, marks the date that Marty McFly travelled to in the future in Back to the Future Part II.

A lot of the focus has been on what the movie, made in 1989, got right and got wrong with their predictions of what life would be like in 2015. You know, hover boards, flying cars, instant-drying jackets, that sort of thing.

Instead, we thought we’d focus on the actors that played the many memorable characters in the Back to the Future trilogy and how time has treated them in the intervening years.

We’ll say one thing, age has been very, very kind to Biff Tannen.

Must be the manure.

Crispin Glover – George McFly*

*Glover was replaced by Jeffrey Weissman for Back to the Future II and III but scenes from Back to the Future I were replicated in Back to the Future II. Understood? Good.
