    His roles as Uncle Fester and Judge Doom are among his best and most iconic! They should have absolutely been included! Would‘ve loved to hear him talk about them.

    This man has been an active actor in the industry for over 60 years, he has said several times in interviews that there is no role that is too small for him to take, his resume is higher than his age, he's been in independent movies, plays, television, video games, cartoons, blockbuster movies, theme park attraction videos, and GQ only breaks down 5 of his iconic roles?!

      That's also why I loved him in Camp Nowhere. He actually gets to PLAY a conman who puts on a bunch of different personas... and they aren't all super different, it's not a Mrs. Doubtfire situation, he just has to seem genuine to each group of parents. and totally nails it.

    Christopher Lloyd definitely hits me in the nostalgia zone. I remember loving Taxi as a kid because of Jim. The only movie I've ever seen in a theater 3 times was BTTF and probably had more to do with MJF cause I had a wicked crush on him, but I loved Doc in the movie. He does a perfect befuddled genius. Thanks for all the laughs you've given me over my lifetime Mr. Lloyd.

This show did a great job at building me up to the math teacher I am today. Thank you, sir. Would have been nice to hear his thoughts on it.
