With all the attention being paid to Back to the Future this week, let's take a look at one of the more interesting characters from the film- Marty McFly's brother Dave McFly.
Depicted as a loser who works at a fast food restaurant, he's also a bit of a dork, as shown in the infamous disappearing picture.
By the end of Back to the Future, Dave McFly is apparently a successful businessman who wears a suit to work. All because of his brother Marty's careless fiddling with the past. Does the actor playing Dave McFly look familiar? He should. It's Marc McClure and here he is with the original cougar Barbara Harris in the Disney film Freaky Friday:
In the scene shown above, Barbara Harris is really playing her daughter Annabelle, who has a crush on Marc's character. Guys of a certain age most certainly envied him. His biggest role would come not long after- the role of a lifetime- as Jimmy Olson in Superman.
Marc played Jimmy Olson in all four original Superman films plus Supergirl. He even braved the Golan and Globus debacle Superman IV: The Quest for Peace. Marc continues to work in Hollywood, taking roles in the 2003 Freaky Friday, Smallville and Cold Case.
