Michael J. Fox’s rise to stardom was already in motion in 1985, thanks to his breakout role as Alex P. Keaton on “Family Ties,” a character who embodied Reagan-era capitalism but remained deeply relatable. Before his movie fame, Fox starred in a low-budget horror-comedy called “Teen Wolf,” which was nearly forgotten until “Back to the Future” catapulted him to superstardom. Originally cast as Marty McFly’s replacement, Fox’s charm turned a modest film into a surprise hit—so much so that the studio delayed its release to ride the wave of “Back to the Future’s” success. Despite Fox’s own reservations about the film’s campy moments, “Teen Wolf” became a massive box office sensation, nearly topping charts and spawning a sequel and TV series, proving his instant appeal and the power of timing in Hollywood.
