"Back to the Future's" Christopher Lloyd is in the middle of a well-deserved career boost. The day after reuniting with co-star Michael J. Fox on stage at the Scream Awards 2010, TV Guide announces that Lloyd will be appearing on "Fringe" early next year.Is there a better gig for a man who is revered for his portrayal of a mad scientist? We think not.
Walter (John Noble) is a fan of all kinds of music, as we know, and Lloyd will play one of his all-time favorite musicians. "This fellow was one of his icons," Noble says. "He adored this man. So Walter gets to be a bit of a fanboy."
It sounds as if Noble is a fan of Lloyd's as well. "It's a beautiful role and such good casting," he says. "When I read the script I thought 'I hope hey get someone great.' And Christopher Lloyd exceeds my expectations!"

Noble is the only reason I still watch this show.
Noble is indeed terrific in the show, to be sure, but if that's the only reason you're still watching you either hate great storytelling or have somehow lost the ability to enjoy quality science fiction. Your loss either way.
Great Scott!! Christopher Lloyd on "Fringe!?" This is heavy... His performance on "Chuck" was pretty cool, I can't wait to see what happens..
I wonder when Joshua Jackson will get HIS own big name co star? Or do they want to give that all to John freaking Noble?
The only thing that could make Christopher Lloyds appearance on Fringe better would be to hear that his role will be a recurring one throughout future ( no pun intended) episodes!
Noble and Josh Jackson are the reason I still watch...well I still watch every other episode. Can't stand the Olivia alternate universe stuff. The show used to be great, but this season is really disappointing.
But a fun episode with Lloyd and "Walter" should be good.
