He is perhaps best known for playing the scientist Emmett Brown in the Back to the Future trilogy, Judge Doom in Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and Reverend Jim Ignatowski on television's Taxi, although he has played many other notable roles.

For his brief 1985 scenes in Back to the Future (1985), he wore prosthetic make-up to appear 30 years older than in his 1955 scenes, which dominate the film. In the sequels, the 1985 Doc Brown has more scenes. To avoid having to put him through extensive make-up every morning, writers Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale came up with the idea of Doc Brown visiting a rejuvenation clinic in the future, which results in his face looking much younger.
