More on Emmett Brown
Description from Wikipedia:
Emmett Lathrop "Doc" Brown, Ph.D. is a fictional scientist and one of the lead characters in the Back to the Future motion picture trilogy. He is played in all three movies by actor Christopher Lloyd, as well as in the live action sequences of the animated series. He is voiced by Dan Castellaneta in the animated series. The character's appearance and mannerisms are loosely inspired by Leopold Stokowski and Albert Einstein. In the Back to the Future universe, he is the inventor of the first time machine, which he builds out of a De Lorean sports car. His earlier inventions met with limited success, but he was able to build a large refrigerator and steam locomotive time machine in 1885.
"Doc", as he is referred to by his best friend, Marty McFly, was born in the early 1920s—the novelization says he was 65 (implying 1920), while The Animated Series gives 1922—in Hill Valley, California. A scientist by trade, Doc is a "student of all sciences" and spends much of his time inventing. He usually has a pet dog; in 1955, his dog was named Copernicus, and by 1985, he had a dog named Einstein. Doc's role models are scientists, as evidenced by the names of his dogs and the portraits of Isaac Newton, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Edison, and Albert Einstein found in his laboratory (which were on a wall in his home in 1955).
Doc does not believe in "love at first sight" until he ends up meeting his future wife Clara Clayton in 1885, since he does not see scientifically how such a feeling works.
