Moonlight Blue
lyrics by Hilario Dela Cruz Guting

When I saw you
I didn't know a thing of what to do
My heart is racing like I run with you
Into the moonlight blue

My world just stopped
Everyone's in motion but I am stuck
Can't explain this feeling and I feel so dumb
Someone help me understand

You're the one for me
My heart says perfectly
Unconditionally, loving you constantly
You're the one for me
My heart says truthfully
I want you to be with me eternally
We're meant to be

Now I'm with you
I'll do everything to make it true
My mind is purposely in love with you
Into the moonlight blue

You're the one for me
My heart says perfectly
Unconditionally, loving you constantly
You're the one for me
My heart says truthfully
I want you to be with me eternally
We're meant to be

Back to the Future starring Eric Stoltz

For those who remember the '80s time-travel movie "Back to the Future", can you imagine another actor playing Marty McFly? I mean Michael J. Fox is Marty McFly. Fast talking, smooth, cool, nice guy. The role is tailor-made for Michael J. Fox. It's hard to believe anyone else playing the part but apparently, there was another actor who had a brief stint as Marty McFly.

(in an alternate reality where Eric Stoltz stars in BTTF - Fringe episode)

When filming began for BTTF, Michael J. Fox was busy with his sitcom "Family Ties". So, although Fox was Robert Zemeckis' first choice, another actor was cast. Enter Eric Stoltz. For those who are not familiar with Eric Stoltz, he portrayed Rocky Dennis, a kid with the rare disorder lionitis, in the biographical drama film "Mask", which also stars Cher.

He was also in the John Hughes film "Some Kind of Wonderful" (my all-time favorite movie) starring alongside Lea Thompson and Mary Stuart Masterson.

There was four weeks of filming done with Stoltz. But the director felt that his performance wasn't appropriate for the film. Eric Stolz's acting style is serious and dry. He is more of a method actor. He isn't very funny. Very different form Michael J. Fox's style.

Eventually, Robert Zemeckis and Steven Spielberg decided to go with Michael J. Fox, their original choice. Luckily, Fox was able to negotiate splitting his time between the film and "Family Ties". Hence, he replaced Eric Stoltz and the rest we know is history.
