Answer: According to online sources, he did not. Glover was only considered for the role of George McFly. Michael J. Fox was always the first choice, but other actors did audition. Eric Stoltz was cast as Marty when Fox was unavailable due to his TV show commitment. Stoltz was later fired, and Fox was able to take over the role.
