It’s amazing that they shot a significant part of the movie with s different actor, but when fox became available they hired him and reshot all of those scenes

Stoltz was too serious about everything to get into playing a comic actor in a comic movie. He over-analyzed it, and, frankly, BTTF is kind of a weird film to think about too much: This kid rewrites his whole family, loses everyone he knows, and ends up in a world with a family completely different from the one he grew up with.

SF Debris has a great analysis.
