Thomas F. Wilson

Okay, I have to be honest: for the longest time Thomas F. Wilson was just "Biff" to me, the perfect bully you loved to hate across the entire Back to the Future trilogy. Playing Biff, his old man Buford, AND grandson Griff is no small feat, and somehow he made each one its own special flavor of jerk. But the more I learned about him, the more I adored the actual guy. He's a sharp stand-up comic and musician who turned decades of being asked "make like a tree and get outta here" into a hilarious bit, even writing a whole song answering every fan question. That self-aware humor is exactly why I think he's secretly one of the coolest people to come out of that franchise. Great sport, genuinely funny man.
