Let's get this out of the way at the start. Yes, Tom Wilson played Biff in the Back to the Future trilogy. Okay? Good. He's also a well-respected artist, guitarist and stand up comedian, who's been touring the States for about thirty years. I wasn't too familiar with his comedy, but after hearing him on various podcasts, including Never Not Funny and Nerdist, I think he's terrific. He's clearly a great storyteller, who's lived one hell of a life, and has very healthy perspective about all his experiences. Hearing him talk about Biff, and that whole experience, in particular, is fascinating. So fascinating, in fact, that he has his own podcast now, called Big Pop Fun. I highly recommend you listen to episode one to get a handle on this awesome gentleman.
Check him out, have a beer, listen to what he has to say, and take a picture with him afterwards. Just don't show up with a stack of 8-by-10s of Marty McFly. He won't sign them.
