Actually, I read in an interview once that he was bullied incessantly as a child, and based "Biff" on his former tormentors. In fact, he's supposedly a very nice guy who does charity work and spends time on youth programs.
Also, I saw him several years ago on The Tonight Show, doing his standup act. This is back when Johnny was still alvive and hosting, so you know it was a while back. He came out carrying a tuba, and talked about being a band geek as a kid. He was hilarious.

Yeah i read that he drew upon his memories of the bullies that bullied him to create Biff. So i suppose in a way he has them to thank for making him such a great actor and so well loved

On the Back to the Future collectors edition DVDs, there are a few interview clips featuring him, and from what I saw, he is COMPLETELY unlike Biff. He seems a lot more sensitive and soft spoken, just an all around nice, considerate guy.

I've known him for almost 30 yearshe is my best friend's brotherhe IS hilarious and he is NOT at all like Biff.
He is a real renaissance mancomedian, artist, actor, musician, singer, motivational speakerhe is a great example of the entire Wilson clan.
Check out his websitewww.bigpopfun.com
He was just commissioned by Disney to produce art related to classic Disneyhe is a fantastic artistcheck it out -

In fact, I surfed over to these forums to find out why the heck Tom Wilson hasn't gotten better parts since BTTF. I thought he was a great villain. I can still remember how the air got sucked out of the theater when Biff pulled Marty out of the car on the night of the dance; that was a classic theater moment for me. Movies depend on great, despicable villains, and Biff was up there with the best IMHO.

I Have been a fan since the beginning and I understand the art of acting after watching the first one I remember thinking to myself you know what I bet the guy who plays Biff is a nice guy in real life and you know what I was Right!

Everyone whom I've seen quoted about Tom Wilson says that he is nothing like Biff which convinces me even more that his performance in
BTTF
is one of the most under-rated villains in movie history. I still remember watching it for the first time in 1985, and the whole theater sucking in its breath when Biff pulled McFly out of the car. Great movies depend on111c great bad guys.

A funny guy, but that doesn't translate into someone you should mess with. At 6'3 with pretty thick build (his hulking figure from BTTF is of course, diminished due to natural age), he could very well be as different in his personal life as Vince Vaughn is (with that bar fight and stuff).

Does anyone know if he played totally good-natured, nice, or heroic guys on the screen? I remember seeing him in an episode of NASH BRIDGES where he helps Don Johnson and Cheech Marin battle a gang of martial arts smugglers. Tom kicked some heavy bad guy ass, too!
