It was not part of his contract. Crispin Glover, the actor who played George McFly, sued and got $760k in a settlement: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crispin\_Glover#Back\_to\_the\_Future\_Part\_II\_lawsuit](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crispin_Glover#Back_to_the_Future_Part_II_lawsuit)

>In [*Back to the Future Part II*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Back_to_the_Future_Part_II), Zemeckis reused brief footage of Glover that had been filmed for the first film. Glover was billed as "George McFly in footage from *Back to the Future*" in the closing credits. The older footage was combined with new footage of actor [Jeffrey Weissman](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeffrey_Weissman) wearing a false chin, nose and cheekbones, and various obfuscating methods – in the background, wearing sunglasses, rear shot, upside down – to play George McFly. Because these methods suggested that Glover himself had performed for the film, he successfully sued the producers on the grounds that they had used his likeness without permission, as well as not having paid him for the reuse of the footage from the original film. The case was resolved outside of court and Glover was awarded a reported $760,000. As a result of the lawsuit, clauses in the [Screen Actors Guild](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screen_Actors_Guild) collective bargaining agreements now state that producers and actors are not allowed to use such methods to reproduce the likeness of other actors, effectively putting to an end the decades-long use of the [Fake Shemp](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fake_Shemp) technique among living actors. Despite not setting a legal [precedent](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precedent), the lawsuit is often evoked in cases for actors involving the misuse of their likeness through digital recreation and other technological methods to replicate their appearance without their permission.
