He's about to be in my area on a comedy tour. I was listening to an interview the other day and his co-touring comedy was talking about what a great guy he is. He said that TFW has a business card that has the usual BTTF questions/answers to all the questions on the back of it.

ya, I've heard that Tom is a SUPER nice guy, but even so, everyone cant be nice all the time. I try, but when I'm under stress or super hurried I can be brusque myself.
You probably just caught him on a bad night.
And Johnny Depp is a nice guy?? Wow, I would have thought it was the opposite - that's really good to hear, as I had the opposite view of him. He has said some unfortunate things about our country (America) in the press, and I had a bad impression of him from it.
Thanks to you, I will enjoy his movies much more now.
Hope you have a great day! -

i recently saw tom on the 6th of november doin his standup comedy and he was funny afterwards i got to meet him and talk with him for a few minutes and he was a nice easy goin guy to talk 1354to my experience with him was one of the best celebrity encounters ive ever had. he even took time out during his stand up to say happy birthday to my dad it was really cool for him to do that

I don't know if it's
always
the case but in my personal experience, I've found that the bigger the celebrity is, the nicer they are.
I think that's part of the reason they maintain their popularity. They can handle the fame without getting snippy with people, or condescending toward people, and they treat all their fans equally. They have patience, they are genuine and kind.
It's a good thing Wilson isn't more famous than he is, because judging from your story, he obviously wouldn't be very happy. -

that could also mean the bigger the celebrity the less t5b4hey have to work. look at toms schedule. ive yet to meet a person that did stand up that didnt hate it but did it because they had to. Its hard work. It is really hard if you have to do it a few times a night dont judge till you walk in a mile in someone elses shoes

Stand up is extremely stressful. It's little wonder those that really make it in film stop giggin' if they can. I did it for awhile in the 90's. Never had a bad on stage experience, but back stage, and on the road, yes.
Those who would promote the torture for their own sense of security are cowards. -

That song on youtube that he did was funny !.Thanks for posting the link.
About the OP's situation, i guess it depends on the person.I have spoke to afew actors who aren't very well known, and they are very nice,down to earth people who are willing to chat, whereas i know some actors who are more famous would pay their fans little, or no attention at all,probably because the fame has gone to their head.However, there will be some really famous actors who are are kind to their fans too.As others have said, it could depend on whether they are having a good or bad day.
I have never been famous, but i feel that if i was, i would pay the fans attention, and always be kind to them, but then i haven't been in that situation.I would even still post on here like i do now and chat to fans.
I have done some acting before,only in local places mind you on stage,never on tv,so i do know how tiring it can be sometimes,but it's enjoyable too. -

I think that 'your gonna sell this online thing was a joke' he can be dry with his humour sometimes, like on the link below.

This guy is a total conceited douche, just read his bio. It makes this no talent hack out to be a renaissance man of all talents and abilitiesright. He's dim witted (only the stupid ones have to write about how smart and creative they are and also act like they are) and bad at everything he does (he practically ruined the Back to the Future movies). He's a failure at everything he's ever tried. Total tool and ugly as sin too. Needs to FOAD and soon.

Each celebrity handles things differently. I have a friend who had a nasty experience with Robert Goulet. He was getting an autograph from him after seeing him La Cage Aux Folles and he mentions Fantasticks that Goulet did on tour and Goulet really ripped into him cursing, "Why the beep are you bringing that up?" Look if Goulet didn't like it, he could've been tactful about it. But he was a nasty drunk.

This is long overdue, but I needed to add my two cents on this. I have seen Tom Wilson's show twice (about a year apart) and he was about the most gracious person you'd ever want to meet. My four kids are such big fans of BTTF that I brought them back the next day after the first time I saw him (they were not old enough to get into the show)and we waited outside the venue - he looked like he was in a rush on the way in but when he saw my kids, he stopped cold and spent 15 minutes with them, joking and doing all the "Biff" stuff with them. Then, a full year later when he was back in town, I saw him after the show and he remembered me and asked me how my kids were doing. This is a very nice and good man and meeting him and having my kids meet him has dramatically enhanced my already pro5b4found love of the BTTF franchise. I completely understand his desire to not be stereotyped to the Biff role forever like Adam West and Batman, because he has a tremendous amount of talent and can act in diverse roles and wants to have his own identity, but to the poster who said Tom almost ruined BTTF, that is RIDICULOUS - long before I ever met him, I would have said that, like the other key members of the cast, BTTF was PERFECTLY cast and having anyone else in any of the key roles would have made it just another movie rather than one of the all-time greats that it is - in fact, Tom's roles in BTTF II and III, in my opinion, largely carried those movies to make BTTF a worthy overall trilogy.

That's a great story. I agree, Tom is an all around great guy. For the record, I was disapp5b4ointed at the time that he doesn't sign stuff, BUT this is no way ruined Back to the Future for me. He's a great guy and his choice is his choice. He gave me 2 hugs and took a picture with me; the next time I see him, I'll have him sign the picture and display it proudly at my job.
