[ that guy! ]

Before he became an infamous bully named Biff in Back to the Future, Tom Wilson was just a normal Philadelphia lad. What drew him away from the city? "I was unable to develop a love of Izod sportswear," says Wilson. In his post-Biff years, Wilson has traveled the world and TV screens, always sticking to the flair for comedy that he developed growing up in Philly. The Saturn Award-winning comedian has also helped voice the Nickelodeon family, most recently in the Spongebob: The Movie. Now middle-aged, Wilson focuses much of his standup on his family and the trials of fatherhood. He is also known for his musical sketch comedy, where he will don a guitar and bemoan the short skirts of his daughters, while promising to beat your face in if you dare take a peek at them. Wilson returns home with his patented mix of B-list self-deprecation and intuitive commentary. Now why don't you make like a tree and get over there?
