Most of you reading this likely know Christopher Lloyd best for playing Doc Brown in the "Back to the Future" movies, and rightly so. His performance as Marty McFly’s mentor is one of several ways the original film has aged so successfully, and certainly one of the most entertaining aspects of the entire film trilogy. Now, when it comes to Lloyd’s more recent performances, one that stands out to us fittingly also involves time travel. He appeared in three episodes of "12 Monkeys," which we consider to be one of the best sci-fi TV shows, and we're getting a kick out of learning that wild idea he immediately pitched for his villainous character.
This reveal comes from Terry Matalas, who created the "12 Monkeys" series and discussed his experience working with Christopher Lloyd while on "The Sackhoff Show" (where he also talked about the “sacrifices” that went into "Star Trek: Picard" Season 3). Lloyd played Zalmon Shaw, a.k.a. The Missionary, and when he first met Matalas, he wasted no time suggesting making a distinctive change to his physical appearance.
