Will I disappoint you? I was reading this thread, I'm always at least two pages behind. And you got me doing a search of Michael J Fox. I was watching an interview and he was talking about getting the BTTF part, and he said, "they cast Eric Stoltz, who is a brilliant actor". This video:
Michael J. Fox discusses "Back to the Future"
And I thought, who the hell is Eric Stoltz? - I'm really not a film person, so I do a search on his name and this is the first photo.
That's Michael J. Fox.
OK, technically it's not, because Eric Stoltz and Michael J. Fox are different legal entities. So categorically I can say in a court of law Eric Stoltz and Michael J. Fox are not the same person. Because they are, under the definition of legal persons, different legal persons, but they are both played by the same actor.
Once we know they are the same actor in these scenes, then suddenly this makes a lot more sense. Maybe they decided to lose the lifts so the character could be more physical in the role, and that meant using the shorter Michael J. Fox incarnation.

So is the actor who plays Michael J. Fox a bullshit liar? And do we thing they will end up having an mRNA vaccine for Parkinson’s?
Michael J. Fox: Do you have Parkinson's? New test is 'breakthrough' in diagnosing disease.

This week in New York City, 300 of the world’s top neuroscientists are meeting to chart the future of Parkinson's disease research. They are the leaders of the Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative (PPMI), a major international study designed to help cure Parkinson's disease faster.
They come together every year, from points all around the globe, to share data, troubleshoot challenges and map out next steps in the research strategy. It has always been an action-packed couple of days — equal parts realistic, optimistic and futuristic — and even a pretty good time, if you dig science.
And this year, things are super-charged. The meeting’s focus has been electrified by one of the most significant Parkinson’s breakthroughs in decades, announced by PPMI and The Michael J. Fox Foundation just a few weeks ago: the discovery of a spinal fluid test that can objectively detect Parkinson’s in the cells of living people. It’s a first, and a monumental leap forward, for our disease.
