In the vein of Patrick Stewart’s MAKING IT SO and Henry Winkler’s BEING HENRY, a larger than life memoir from Christopher Lloyd, the beloved star of Back to the Future and Taxi, that follows him through his lonely childhood in an exorbitantly wealthy family, experiences breaking into acting, time recovering from addiction, and his path to figuring out his creative identity, which would influence his roles in the many films of his illustrious, wide-ranging career.

Christopher Lloyd grew up largely in isolation on the sprawling estate of Waveny in Connecticut, the scion of the wealthy Lapham family that founded Texaco. His early life wandering those vast grounds, being raised by governesses, seeing his mother institutionalized, and attending an upper crust boarding school all combined into a shy, lonely childhood, and for a long time he felt more comfortable on his own than with others. It wasn’t until he fled that life of privilege and found his voice on stage that he found the connections he’d missed out on – connections that would eventually include journeymen actors and Hollywood greats like Jack Nicholson, Charlie Kaufman, and Meryl Streep, as Christopher made his way in the worlds of film, TV, and Broadway.

IN MY OWN TIME is the intimate memoir of a singular actor. In his own elegant prose, Christopher brings readers along on his unique journey to fame, sharing never before told stories from his unusual upbringing to his famed roles in some of the biggest films of the 21st century: Taber in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, the loveable, eccentric Jim Ignatowski onTaxi, and the iconic Doc Brown in Back to the Future franchise. He delves deeply into his training as a stage actor at the Neighborhood Playhouse in New York, his early career on Broadway, the loves of his life, his hard-fought journey to sobriety, and, of course, his time on the sets of now-classic films. With charm and honesty, Christopher’s memoir reveals the thoughtful soul behind some of the most beloved larger than life characters to ever grace the silver screen.
