Fans of the science fiction genre who have seen the Back to the Future trilogy will remember Christopher Lloyd as the wacky professor Dr. Emmett Brown, the eccentric scientist who developed the time machine that Marty McFly used to travel to and from the future in order to alter the fate of his family. It is this role and that of Reverend Jim Ignatowski, a cab driver and former hippie in the 1978 sitcom Taxi, that has marked Christopher Lloyd to movie and television viewers, not to mention Hollywood executives, as a typecast for weird and comedic parts.

Among these notable performances in serious roles are as Pieces in the film Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead in 1995, which starred Andy Garcia, and as Dr. Harvey Kelekian, an oncologist in the HBO television movie Wit, which aired in 2001.
