Nickname in the Theater: The Fog (According to the book Hailing Taxi by Frank Lovece and Jules Franco, page 77, Clarence Feldner gave him the nickname saying, "He doesn't talk much but he's a real good guy.")

Personality: Very quiet and a very private person. Lloyd does not make appearances on talk shows to promote any of his films or other projects. But in 2005 he made a rare appearance on the Tony Danza show. You can find the clip on the TV page of this site. He doesn't reply to fan mail, but he appreciates all his fans very much. He is also a very gracious man when asking for his autograph or talking with him one-on-one.

Type of Actor: Character actor. Lloyd likes coming up with a new character for each new project. Unfortunately, this highly imaginative and wonderfully talented actor has been typecast as a crazy professor due to his roles as Rev. Jim and Doctor Emmet L. Brown in the Back to the Future Trilogy.

Address: When I talked with Lloyd on October 12, 2001, he said that he does not have an address where fans can write. Please don't send fan mail to me, since I don't have his address either. Sorry I can't be of more help.
