What?
You can see one of his two characters in this clip.
The final episode drops for PC & Mac on June 23rd. Also Episode 1 is Free on the iPad until July 31.
Update: Good on you Telltale, though a bit odd that this didn't all come together earlier in the series.

It turns out he's voicing TWO characters in the episode.

Okay, this headline has to go now! Of course he will be voicing a McFly (probably William), and we also know by now that he'll voice two characters in this episode. So, Mojo, react! ;)
I will update the title shortly.
We're keeping exactly who Michael J. Fox plays a surprise for folks to discover as they play Episode 5, but I will divulge a tiny hint about one of the two characters he plays: Marty has met this character shown in the new behind the scenes video (above) in the original film series.
So he plays two(!) characters. In the (short) gameplay bit they've shown during that tv broadcast he introduced himself with 'the name's McFly', so I guess that answers that question. I guess he's Arthur McFly's father, the baby McFly Marty meets in Back to the Future III (I can't remember the name, it's been a while since I've seen that movie. It's never been my favorite. There might be some detail in that movie that completely ruins my theory).

How do you know he isn't a McFly?
I've mostly enjoyed the games so far. A little easy, but the story has been good.
Well, I guess I don't know that the stranger-in-the-car ISN'T a McFly. But I'd have assumed the character model would be based on Marty's if he was one.
The model looks more like it's an interpretation of Fox's current look & age, not an extrapolation of the Marty model.
Alfred, my post wasn't intended to be negative - just find it all a bit odd. Happy though, that Fox is (finally) involved.
But I'm happy this messed up series ends.
No excitement so far.
Just a wasted opportunity for TT. I hope they learn something from errors, expecially about bugs, gameplay and lenght/difficulty.
I'm definitely not optimist, but waiting to be proven wrong.
I've seen people around the internet (I'm not only talking about Mixnmojo, you guys aren't that bad) acting like Telltale stole their lunch money by giving MJ Fox this cameo. Some days...
Uhhh, why didn't ask him before Episode 1 then, when he might well have agreed to a more meaningful cameo?
I've mostly enjoyed the games so far. A little easy, but the story has been good.
It's the first time I feel really detached from the Telltale team.
"It's been a great experience". I see where they're coming from, working on such a franchise must be great, but I cannot pretend I'm ok with the results... :-(
