Dude have you looked at your IMDB lately? You kill it! We know who you are- sorry I don't mean lift the veil on your tortured artist persona! Nice song.
Now I know why I get up at 4am & commute to a set with 782 other underpaid people to do exteriors in the dead of winter; the health plan. Wait I'm non-union.
You know, for what it's worth, I think you're wasted in acting - I gotta say you're up there with Carlin and Lewis Black in terms of comedy. You've hilarious.
Was kinda surprised you weren't involved in the latest BTTF game - they got some wrestler in to voice Biff. Hey ho, it was one character you played 20+ years ago.
Please, please please post more vids of songs and stand-up though, and if you've ever in Scotland, tell us all, I'd love to attend a show!!
Don't worry Tom, I know the plight of the character actors, and I will always recognize you by name when you're playing some random individual, no matter how crappy your five minutes of screentime may be written, you make it cool.
In 50 years no one will remember who was the lead of this or that show. But they will remember that the guy who played Biff is Tom Wilson!! And through that find all this good stuff! It's lovely!
I wanted to be an actor......studied it for 20 years.......now I don't want to. Thank you for showing me the light. I can now live the rest of my life in peace.
The wife and I were just talking about this yesterday (we're musicians): the vast gap between perception ("You opened for Dan Fogelberg? Wow!") and reality ("Honey, do we have another jar of spaghetti sauce around here anywhere?"). Thanks for this brutally honest (and painful) song, Tom..
Tom Cruise - Boring Nancy boy. Tom Hanks- Good. Tom Wilson -Loads of character would be perfect in a staring role producers are missing out.. Thanks for sharing.
dude, tom you are totally awesome. Even in your short one episode roles, i remember a bunch that i love such as Tony Zucco From Batman: The Animated series and the Strangler from Spongebob. You completely and totally kick butt no matter who you're playing. rock on man!
@Vegeta8639 Ever see him as Matt Bluestone on "Gargoyles"? A great series and he played a character totally unlike Biff Tannen. (You can see all the eps on youtube)
I lost my musician's union insurance 15 years ago. Yeah. I hear ya. I hope Americans get health care one of these days. But you know what? I love what I do... rich or poor.
I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!! I think I have seen almost everything you've done and I always get a warm-fuzzy feeling when I see "Tom Wilson" in the credits...this might be because I'm insane... I think that everyone who was ever in the BTTF franchise is burned into my genetic code...since it was made the year I was born and is set 17 days after my birth...*she gasps for breath*...O.K. Anyway back to what I was saying...I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!! LOL :0) Have a great day!
Wait a minute! In your "Stop Asking Me The Question" song, you responded with "More than you do!" when someone told someone who asked how much money do you make?
Seriously, Tom, great song again. Thanks for posting.
Well, at least you're not bitter or anything. :-)
Hilarious song, Tom! Thanks very much! Thanks very much also for entertaining us all these years. The director and crew may not appreciate your work, but we, the audience, sure as heck does. Keep plugging away, muchacho! Never, ever give up!
I know... I think it sucks when character actors who have been in so many films that you know their faces but you don't know their names and they walk away with a paychecks at the end of a film while the headliners get the salaries.... it's not fair to people like you... especially to be type cast... you're a great actor and a great man... and you deserve better for the gift of laughter you've brought to all of us.
This has to be karma, serendipity or something like that, because I just got done watching you get upstaged by David Hasselhoff as "Chip" on an old episode of Knight Rider. I'm looking at this real young version of some guy that looked like that guy who played that pompous guy in the Wing Commander PC game, stumbled across this video of you on YouTube, and well, I guess you know the rest.
Awesome!!! I just became a fan of yours on Facebook. Besides telling folks, "You gotta check this out... ", I figure it's another good way of getting people to look and see that you're alive, very talented, and very funny - not just "the guy who played Biff".
I don't watch TV or many movies so that's all I knew until I saw all this cool stuff on YouTube. Glad I checked! :)
Thanks Tom, I enjoyed it ^_^ Hey, Have you ever played a Mosrite guitar? (The Ventures played them but there were many other kinds of Mosrite guitars than The Ventures models)
Hi Tom! Loved you as 'Stone the Bone' on Still Standing. Those guys blew it - they should have had you recurring on that show since both kids were in that high school. I like that show but producers were asleep at the switch on that one!
Damn, more creds than The Other Toms combined! Yes, I paid attention in math class. Well...sort of.
Biff, Maniac and the Gym Teacher whose name I can't remember form Freaks and Geeks. Loved 'em all! Keep up the fondly remembered, yet criminally underpaid work Tom!
Nice comeback, your great Tom, Back to the future is well known as a classic here in UK. Watched the Box set at the weekend though my Girlfriend laughs at me for loving it so much lol
@TomWilsonUSA Your songs are clever, really nice good job, you've got an unusual guitar there too dude, sounds good. Love this and the Homonym song and of course the back to the future one of which I've heard two versions, nice to finally hear what a 'best boy' does. Keep entertaining people.
@culwin hahahaha!!! DUUUDE YA JUST GOT FRIGGIN SCOLDED MAN!!! HAHA EPIC WIN ON TOM AND EPIC FAIL ON YOU LITTLE BUD. CIAO. XD p.s.: I'm still laughing.
"You like Patting Boys Butts.....you butt patter". LOL One of my favorite characters you played from Freaks and Geeks Coach Fredricks! Tom, saw you last summer in Cleveland. I sat in the front and you made me part of your act a lot. I really enjoyed seeing you and think you had an awesome set. I still follow what you're up to and thanks for the email updates. I hope to see you again someday. Hope you and your family are well. Have a great year. --Mike (The film guy...remember?)
Dude, I know you shit on being a character actor, but you've done great with the roles you had, I've always been a big fan. Though I'm thinking you should have gone into the music business instead hahah you'd be able to feed your family and afford a guitar with a properly located sound hole (kidding) lol Great Tune Tom!
LOL ... from one to another... the KEY GRIP gets PAID better. . As for Still qualified for the Health Plan, ...as you for this video are considered PRODUCER, thus Management... probably not ..
Keep up the great work ... from another character actor from AFTRA
