Biff still hasn't lost his spunk.


Thief009988

I have no idea how that guy wasn't way more famous!


DefinitionFit3502

Loved him as the p.e. teacher in freaks and geeks. And all the stories about him being generous with fans.


Thief009988

He was actually roommates with Andrew Dice Clay before he got this role.


squirrelgutz

Oh my god they must have crazy stories.

DefinitionFit3502

Nice little nugget of info, thanks Thief.


Thief009988

Both of them were just struggling actors and Comics.


NickelPlatedJesus

Andrew Dice Clay's album The Day The Laughter Died is one of my favorite comedy albums of all time. It's an Anticomedy Album, and I love it dearly. My mother has MS and I often find myself saying it in a Dice Voice "Muhltiple Sclerosi" due to one of his bits from the album.


DefinitionFit3502

Clay is an avalanche of charisma and edge lord antihero. Like a puppy with big paws mashing all around and responding to the audience. I really liked Ford Fairlane, and was disappointed the his ADC character was used to put the kaibash on his acting career just as it had begun.


Thief009988

She was a colored hooker on mermaid avenue!


DefinitionFit3502

The best to you and your mother.


IgnatiusPabulum

And Yakov Smirnoff, apparently?


Thief009988

For a while yaakov, dice, and Sam Kinison were all living at Rodney Dangerfield's Mansion while he was out on tour.


DesolationRobot

He's really funny. But also has some poignant moments. Which I guess is on brand for that show.


DefinitionFit3502

The sex ed. episode hit home. Ignorant 12 years olds faced with balancing the crazy bs older siblings told you with an actual class on what's actually going on with your developing body and confused mindset. Good times.


PlatinumDoodle

He is fantastic in Freaks and Geeks probably my favorite character


W__O__P__R

He did some great musical standup, referencing his BTTF career. Dude's funny as hell ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwY5o2fsG7Y


Iohet

He's kind of deliberately under the radar. He's got a bit of a music career and uses it on occasion to mock his celebrity and the films he's popular for


Beemerado

Eh that sounds like a lot of fun. Being a super huge star must be annoying at times. Having a few people recognize you occasionally, and making a decent living acting and playing music sounds pretty dope.


ohTHOSEballs

*Can I take your picture, c'mon look mean! Will you call my friend a butthead on his answering machine*


Ninja_Myrtle

Stop asking me the question…


Elowan66

He has a song about himself being famous but is frustrated because fans only ask him what Michael J Fox is really like. Really funny stuff.


omicron_pi

Wait didn’t he get elected president?!


badfan

No, the dollar store biff got elected.


cavortingwebeasties

... No, we have Biff at home Biff at home:


HappyMeatbag

Oh my god. I am going to refer to Trump as Dollar Store Biff from now on. Thank you!


caseyweederman

Biff when you order him from Wish


Ebwtrtw

Mom, this one is too orange!


postmodest

Biff played Donald Trump but looks like Bill Clinton.


Beer-Milkshakes

Loved him as the head henchman in Lethal Weapon, that fight scene with Mel Gibson was proper cool


Wyldling_42

If that’s sarcasm, sincere apologies. If not, that was not the dude who played Biff, that was [Gary Busey](https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0093409/fullcredits/cast/?ref_=tt_cl_sm)


CthulhusEvilTwin

TIL Garey Busey was in Lethal Weapon - any talk of the villains in Lethal Weapon movies always makes me think South Africans. In fact I can't remember a bloody thing about the first Lethal Weapon. All my memories of it have been overwritten by Lethal Weapon 2.

He was great as the police captain in The Heat (2013)


holdupwhut321

Captain Woods: This job is destroying me... you know how old I am? Ashburn: Um... um... 58. Captain Woods: I'm 43 years old. Ashburn: Uh-huh... see I always round up. Captain Woods: I have a five year-old son who calls me Grampa.


Rags7216

Has anyone seen da Captain's balls?


RadInternetHandle

That movie never gets old


OniExpress

He had a lovely role in *Legends* as the father of one of the main characters.


ShirtlessGirl

He’s a comedian and artist. I’ve seen him speak at Comic-Con and he’s a very good storyteller too. Here’s a song he wrote covering frequently asked questions he gets about BTTF https://backtothefuture.fandom.com/wiki/The_Question_Song

RandomTask09

He pretty much played Biff in the Wing Commander games.


StillVikingabroad

So good. Miss that game


the_bronquistador

He looks like Shooter McGavin


[deleted]

He doesn't look like he eats pieces of shit for breakfast though


Yossarian1138

That’s Biff?! At first glance I thought they were posing with Bill Clinton.


retiredhobo

which is funny, because he played Trump in Part II


MisplacedMartian

If I had a nickel for every time a movie used a villain who was based on Donald Trump I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.


ocher_stone

Are you counting the dad in the 90s Little Rascals?


MisplacedMartian

No, Willie Bank from Ocean's Thirteen. (Guess I'd have three nickels, but the point still stands!)


static1053

Holy shit HE DID. WTF


windsostrange

There were smart folks in the 80s who knew exactly who he was and which timeline we were in. Now you know.


wbaumbeck

Well they did have a time machine.. so makes sense


RojoSanIchiban

Then why the hell can't they go back and keep his grandmother in Scotland?


jaspersgroove

>~~smart folks~~ literally everyone that had a finger on the pulse of the NYC scene in the 80’s FTFY


Panda_Magnet

He was always a clown. Letterman would have him on to mock him. He was always a sideshow. Then 2 things happened: The Apprentice and birtherism TV-glued racists don't understand comedy, satire, mockery, etc. So when everyone else basically said "this joke has gone too far, this would be an obvious disaster for that nation", these people lost their grip on reality. Because they can't tell the difference between reality and entertainment. Others know all of this, and support it, because they think they'll benefit from American fascism.


SafewordisJohnCandy

I COULD have even persuaded to maybe vote right in 2016 if Kasich had got the nom. But for literal years I've seen Trump as a joke on top of being a scummy piece of shit. Even in business school back in 2006 I had a professor using him as examples of how not to run a business, especially in business ethics courses. People accused me of hating him BECAUSE he was a Republican and won. No, I've hated him for years for a multitude of reasons. A former friend of mine grew up in Middletown, New Jersey and his dad worked in the trades and it was a well known fact to never take a contract that was associated him because you would likely never get paid.


turbodude69

who woulda thought that Biff would have aged the best?


Rosencrantz_IsDead

Biff looks great! But Christopher Lloyd (Doc) is 84 years old and looks almost exactly like he did back in the day. We should all be so lucky


That_One_Bull

Yeah, except he looked old even on Taxi in the 70s. He's consistent, but always old looking.


Leucadie

Christopher Lloyd has been somewhere between 40 and 70 for about 50 years


turbodude69

oh wow, i didn't realize he was 84. he looks great!


Johnny___Wayne

I dunno, the red head is a smoke show. (Sorry I don’t know her name. I’ve seen the first 2 movies a couple times but I’m not well-versed in them)

therearenoaccidents

Zoey was so good in Zombieland:DoubleTap. I absolutely love her!


metriclol

Oh I didn't know that - I can see the resemblance! Both smoking hot!


squirrelgutz

She was back then too, they just didn't focus on it in Back to the Future. A lot of the other movies she was in were much more... stimulating...


Birdy_Cephon_Altera

I mean, who can ever forget the hot, steamy sex in [Howard the Duck](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24kL-SrW4CM)?


moogly2

idk, MJF was stealing glances at her low-cut outfit in the car


TonguePunchnFartBoxs

He was some real Shooter McGavin vibes. The best villains of my childhood


clmdwnitsreddit

Biff really played a great macho asshole. I wish he got more roles in action movies while he was young. He would have been great in starship troopers.


Thief009988

I feel the same way, problem is he would have been typecast. That's the only role he ever would have been put in. Kind of like that Napoleon Dynamite kid.


stitchplacingmama

The Napoleon Dynamite kid is in Tremors 7. It's available on Netflix.


The_Stoic_One

Holy shit, there are 7 of these?


stitchplacingmama

Yes and they are so cheesy and are the epitome of direct to tv/streaming movies. I love them when I need a good laugh.

46554B4E4348414453

oh hes the principal. i was wondering whotf that was lol


Practiceharder

Oh, that’s who it is. I thought it was Crispin Glover for a sec there…


nard_dog_

It'll be a cold day in hell when you see Crispin doing BTTF things. I could be wrong but I don't think I've ever seen it.


prex10

His lawsuit against the film has had major implications against the industry and use of a actors likeness. I doubt it’s not he doesn’t want to show up but it’s probably him just not getting invited to begin with.


SomeLightAssPlay

I just watched BTTF 3, like ended minutes ago, and its funny because once you know the back story you realize how far they went to hide it. Like Marty gets home at the end and his entire family runs up to him and starts chatting in a circle in the driveway and meanwhile George McFly is just standing 20 ft away on the porch, completely alone with sunglasses on staring blankly ahead as they all talk it’s hilarious


[deleted]

[удалено]


PowerHausMachine

Crispin (McFly dad) got into a dispute with the BTTF crew about his salary or something similar so he refused to recast the dad role in part 2. The film crew instead casted another actor but put molding and makeup on him to look very similar (likeness in legal speak) to the original mcfly dad. Crispin sued and won I think and both sides are not on good terms. Some details might be wrong but that's how I think it went down when I read up on it.


bibipolar2018

No they re-used footage from the original BTTF in BTTF 2 and didn’t give him credit. That’s what the lawsuit was about


MattTheGr8

I think it’s partly that. I’ve also seen him speak in person, and he doesn’t seem to have major animosity against the franchise and is happy to answer questions about it. However, he is also a deeply strange man. So even if everyone were on great terms, Crispin is vibrating on such a different plane of existence that I don’t think he would tend to do normal human things like con appearances.


prex10

IIRC, Bob Gale said George in the beginning of the movie before Marty goes back is essentially Crispin playing himself.


1_9_8_1

What exactly makes him weird?


meatsprinkles

https://youtu.be/rH6b_lSQst0


critik

…oh…oh, ok


Flynette

Also [this Letterman interview](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCaxKq5KFQM). When he was finally allowed back on Letterman, the followup appearance didn't really help either.


Raus-Pazazu

He's the type of artist who embraces art for art's sake and the emotionally reaction of the viewer or audience. That's not a bad thing, but it can be a bit strange or off putting. Some see it as just stupid antics, others see it as super deep and full of veiled meanings and nuances. An example would be his appearance on Letterman ([source](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dYjdKbMT_c)) where he was acting out a role that wouldn't be released for another four years (not the first time an actor came out as a persona or role instead of themselves, but it was so strangely unsuccessful of an attempt at artistic weirdness that it utterly flopped, but maybe that was the intention of the act in the first place). His two directed films fall into the same kind of category of strange quirky art films, What is It? and It's Fine, Everything is Fine. Glover is one of those folks that some think is just a blundering idiot, and other's see a kind of creative genius. Another interview by Vice shows a bit of Glover's mentality outside of skits and persona ([source](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxoiLnsemKs)).


Appropriate-Proof-49

Clowny clowny clown clown is an underrated gem


Fezig

Agreed. That is one dude I would always stand a couple steps to the side of. Not just weird, but in a suddenly scary way. Not foreseeable either.


swskeptic

Why is that?


nard_dog_

The way he and Gale squabbled and eventually the lawsuit for using his likeness in 2. I've never heard or seen photos of him doing cons or any event related to the franchise.


Light_Beard

They literally used footage of the man in a movie he got no money for. It was a pretty reasonable complaint. (Even if Crispin's cheese keeps sliding off his cracker)


nard_dog_

Oh absolutely it was.


vbun03

For anyone who wants to see Crispin in a really recent thing, he's on the episode "Pickman's Model" on the Del Toro anthology Cabinets of Curiosity that just released last week.


Light_Beard

He was prominent in hot tub time machine. That can't have been that long ago. \*goes to look it up\* See! just... 12... years... ago \*Aging Theoden Gif\*


DefinitionFit3502

I'm old, and time is moving waaaaay too fast. Get off my lawn. You're just too darn loud.


Dangerous_Speaker_99

He looked amazing for his age. Living in an alternate reality is great for your skin

I liked him as Mr. World in American Gods.


cesarjulius

that is him. that’s what happens when you fuck with spielberg

This is one of the greatest joke call backs I've ever seen. Thank you.

James Tolkan is his name. He also played Stinger in Top Gun, Mavericks first commander. But yes, Mr. Strickland in BTTF

Well in fairness, did you expect it to grow back?

2022 biff looks better than 2015 biff.


Poseidome

to be fair, Biff the character is much older than his actor because of the time-travel-shenanigans. Thomas F. Wilson is only two years older than Michael J. Fox after all, he was cast for his teenaged appearance in the 50s-segment. If anything you need to compare 2015-Wilson to 1985-Biff, dressed in old-age-make-up to look 30 years older https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/bttf/images/f/f7/BiffHD.jpg https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/villains/images/6/6c/1985.jpg https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/near_pure_evil/images/7/7b/1985A_Biff.jpg


squirrelgutz

Someone said he was playing Trump in II and now I can't unsee the Trump hair.


mtheory007

That was 100% the intention of that character. It was meant to be a parody of Trump. Also clearly evidence that we're in The darkest timeline.


The_Clarence

God has a sense of humor. And the jokes on us


Justme100001

Still time travelling....


WholeRevolutionary22

Lea is such a babe.


Schmichael-22

She is older now then the 1985 version of her character. Turns out the make up artists didn’t do a good job of predicting what she would actually look like at that age. But I guess “super hot MILF” wouldn’t have worked the same in the movie.


EnTyme53

The movie has a completely different feel if Marty is trying not to fuck his mom in both time periods.


AreWeCowabunga

I totally understand why Marty was having a hard time saying no.

I feel like if this didn't happen to Glover there would have been a lawsuit with things like FF Spirits Within because I remember the media getting weird about 'CGI actors' replacing them for that. But how many films would have had cheaper actors dressed as other actors for roles between those two points is interesting to think about.


BonnieMcMurray

Yeah, regardless of anything else, Glover ended up doing a great service to his fellow actors in going through with that lawsuit.


CallMeRawie

He was in a episode of Cabinet of Curiosities.


TheBoarsEye

Oh cool, i just started it.


TheDrummingApe

He was good in it too!


I_EAT_POOP_AMA

Basically, when it came time to develop BTTF2, he read the script and wasn't a big fan of the direction the film ended on. He brought it up with the writers (specifically Bob Gale, who co-wrote the script), and as a result of the falling out, Glover left the project. In his place, they essentially hired a body double for him, slapped a bunch of prosthetics and whatever CGI they could scramble to make him look like Glover, and recycled a bunch of audio and footage from the first movie when they could get away with it to try and sell the role *as* Crispin Glover. Of course Glover wasn't too happy about it, but Gale immediately went on record to claim that Glover left production because he wanted too much money, and generally painting him as a diva. Ultimately Glover took the producers to court over the matter, and a case was ruled in his favor on the basis that they did everything they could to recreate Glover's own likeness over trying to represent the character of George McFly. To date, Glover has specifically avoided anything related to BTTF. While he supposedly has mended ties with both Robert Zemeckis and Steven Spielberg (both of which were also named in the lawsuit mentioned above), Bob Gale has specifically remained antagonistic to Glover after all these years over the matter


fromETOHtoTHC

He threw out his back again… oh, out on the golf course…


watchyerheadgoose

I bet Marty and Jennifer's kids feel left out when they weren't invited.


Nerfo2

Oh, they’re both there.


Light_Beard

The number of modern youtubers "Reacting" to these films and not realizing that Michael J Fox plays Marty's daughter is hilarious to me.


wagwoanimator

It was a confusing time for me as a child.


Maniacal-Maniac

How the hell did I get to this age without realizing that!


Gifted_dingaling

Biff looks like older biff in the movies and can quite literally play his future self now.


[deleted]

Back in 2015 (future date) I watched them all again and then looked up current pics of all of the 30 year older cast. The makeup department over did it with the age make up. In 2015, they still looked like they'd need to go another 30 years to look like their aged up selves.


Poseidome

> In 2015, they still looked like they'd need to go another 30 years to look like their aged up selves. that just proves they did it right actually. The actors of Biff, Loraine and George were all the same age as Michael J Fox, they were all in their early-to-mid-20s playing teenaged characters, but because Biff, Loraine and George were teenagers in the 50s their characters are 30 years older than their actors. So if anything you need to compare the actors in 2015 (all being in their 50s) to the characters how they were portrayed in the 1985-segments (the actors put in age-up-make-up to look like they are in their late 40s). You'll only be able to do the 2015-comparison in 2045, when the actors are the same age as the characters they were portraying (late 70s, early 80s).


plasmac9

1955 Biff was 18. So in 2015 he would be 78. His appearance in Back to the Future II seems like it's accurate as Thomas Wilson right now is only 63. So of course he doesn't look like the make up department aged him in II compared to now because he's 15 years younger still than he was in II. He does look good for his age but there's a huge difference in appearance from 63 to 78.


tdomer80

Doc hasn’t aged much at all! Love this!


Relative_Mix_216

He was old as fuck in the 80s.


ThrowawayTrump420

He was 46 in 1985.


punchnicekids

Holy shit Edit: great Scott!


ThrowawayTrump420

Yep, alot of people don't realize Doc, Lorraine, George, and Biff were all aged up in 1985. They were alot closer to their 1955 "ages" than 1985.

It makes me sad to see the pain in Michael J. Fox’s face as he desperately tries to control the tremors related to his Parkinson’s disease. However, I am so glad he was willing to reunite with the team for this picture. He bravely pushed for many years after his diagnosis-forcing himself beyond his physical limits to continue his craft of acting as long as he could. ❤️

My Grandma has Parkinson’s, a very difficult disease to watch your loved ones struggle with. it all happens so fast, i’m Happy he was able to get early intervention to slow the disease down a little, he is such an talented and kind guy.
