I haven't seen many films with James Tolken, but I think these are his best roles,

1. His appearances in all three Back to the future films
2. Masters of the Universe
   He was fun to watch and a pretty good actor.

I also have not seen James Tolkan in too many films but I think he is EXCELLENT as the carrier skipper in "Top Gun". His performance was so good, it made me think of an old boss that I had who was just like that.

Tolkan was also great as a slimy district attorney in "Prince of the City."

He played several roles in the Nero Wolfe series. He was great in all of them, displaying a great versatility.

Joe Coffey's gay coach from Hill Street Blues!
I'm watching him in Iceman now and was wracking my brain trying to remember what I knew him from. The HSB thing was hilarious, but I guess some of it was him, and some was just the whole situation.

Love James Tolkan as a wildly homophobic cop in Serpico. "You were suckin' his cock, weren't cha?"
You've seen Guy Standeven in something because the man was in everything.
