| - This is a phenomenon similar to The Other Darrin, but clearly distinct. It occurs when a part is recast after scenes have already been filmed with someone else in the role and, as a result, every scene the original actor did gets reshot. In some cases, quick shots of the original actor may find their way into the final cut, though you'd probably only notice this if you paused on those shots. It is, of course, much easier to pull off The Other Marty in animation. Related: What Could Have Been, The Pete Best. Examples of The Other Marty include:

In some cases, quick shots of the original actor may find their way into the final cut, though you'd probably only notice this if you paused on those shots. It is, of course, much easier to pull off The Other Marty in animation. Named for one of the more famous examples. Originally, Eric Stoltz was cast as Marty McFly in Back to The Future but after a good portion of the movie was filmed, the filmmakers, Bob Gale and Robert Zemeckis, decided that Stoltz's performance was too dark, and he was replaced by Michael J. Fox. Gale and Zemeckis actually wanted Fox from the start, but scheduling conflicts due to his work on Family Ties prevented him from accepting the role. In the final cut of the movie, Stoltz can be seen driving the DeLorean in wide shots of the car chase at the mall. In a more general business sense, the use of stunt doubles and set doubles means that often we are not seeing the actual actor in as many scenes as we may believe. In animation, character models may be changed and updated as work progresses and completed footage may end with glimpses of that original character. Related: What Could Have Been, The Pete Best.
