Great Scott!

"Back to the Future's" Doc Brown will be meeting "Fringe's" resident Doctor Frankenstein when Christopher Lloyd guest stars early next year as Walter's musical hero.

"We all know how much Walter loves music, right? Well this fellow was one of his icons," explains John Noble of Lloyd's role in the season's 10th episode. "He adored this man. So Walter gets to be a bit of a fanboy."





Lloyd, who is currently enjoying a resurgence thanks to the 25th anniversary of Future, begins filming next week in Vancouver and will appear in the show's 10th episode.

And while there remains a Fringe-ian veil of secrecy surrounding his actual involvement in the hour's investigation, it's very clear that Nobel is excited to have Marty McFly's bestie coming aboard.

"It's a beautiful role and such good casting," he enthuses. "When I read the script I thought 'I hope hey get someone great.' And Christopher Lloyd exceeds my expectations!"

Now this is how you remind people that you've moved nights!

Friday, January 21 at 9/8c, the relocated Fringe finally returns to our present with the greatly anticipated appearance by Back to the Future's Christopher Lloyd.




Guest starring as Walter's musical hero, the man we'll always love as Doc Brown will not just be playing the keys, but also play a key role in the week's wacko case.

In addition, we're hearing that he may share more than just a love of classic tunes with his number-one fan. Wonder what it could be... Maybe he's an alt-rocker?
