Michael J. Fox
Even though the Back To The Future star is considered to be one of Hollywood’s sweethearts, he’s not immune to having a few erratic episodes once in a while. One of his most famous backstage altercations started back when he was auditioning to star in Family Matters.
Brandon Tartikoff, NBC’s programming boss, didn’t want Michael J. Fox to play the teenager Alex P. Keaton on “Family Ties.” Now, you might think it was because of his acting skills or charisma, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. The producer didn’t want to give Fox the role because he thought he was too short! Thankfully, he changed his mind afterward.
