Is Eric Stoltz friends with Michael J. Fox in real life even though Fox stole Stoltz' role in
Back to the Future
and thus his career?

Eric Stoltz looks like some sports star. David Bekham maybe?
Not David Bekham or a sports star. He looks like Bruce Greenwood.

Lol. Stoltz was originally going to play Marty in Back to the Future.

Fox didn't have to steal the role, Stoltz just didn't work well as Marty, if not Fox, they would have went with someone else because Eric wasn't working.
Wayne Enterprises buys and sells companies like Stark Industries

As Michael J. Fox, I can confirm that we are friends. He always defends me when big women try and use me as a human vibrator.
Give me a Pepsi Free.

Michael J. Fox was cast perfectly as Marty McFly and the rest is history.

I don't know if they're friends but I do know they are very cordial and polite when speaking of each other. That's because Michael did not steal Eric's role. First, the role was originally offered to Michael and he couldn't get released from his tight Family Ties schedule. Second, all Michael was told was that the role was available again and they were going to work around his Family Ties schedule. He never jockeyed for the role or encouraged them to drop Eric. And it has never appeared that Eric believed that or held any of this against Michael.
