The conversation shifted as the actors reflected on their own high school experiences and how those shaped their portrayals. Fox shared that he was quite the “wild child,” with a passion for rock music, skateboards, and pushing boundaries—elements that aligned closely with his character, Marty McFly.
Leah Thompson, who played Lorraine, humorously recounted the challenges she faced in immersing herself in her role, emphasizing that it was a stretch for her to play a character so vastly different from herself. “Singing ‘Mr. Sandman’ helped me get into character,” she said, illustrating the lengths actors go to connect with their roles.
