Tom Wilson tells his side of the potential rape scene

Tom Wilson and Chris Lloyd panel at Boston Fan Expo 2018. Upon getting a question from a "surprise" audience member, Tom Wilson explains what it was like for him to act out a potential rape scene.

[@SussedRage]

I also think Crispin nailed the tone in his voice when he says "No Biff, you leave her alone" - as it is tired, exhausted even from all the years of bullying, but its resolute and filled with determination.

[@Osprey850]

Great point. It's like how they say that bravery isn't about not being scared, but about pushing through it. George is terrified of standing up to Biff, but he goes through with it, anyways. Too often, especially nowadays, characters in film and TV seemingly magically overcome their fears before they even face them. They'll then stand up to the bad guy already transformed, with total confidence and eagerness, which isn't realistic. Crispin doesn't do that. You can tell that his character really doesn't want this encounter and is wrestling with "fight or flight." Even after he knocks out Biff, he isn't fully transformed because he starts to walk away when that other kid steals Lorraine for a dance. It takes him a while to gain confidence and do the right thing and Crispin plays it very well.

[@jedijones]

@@Osprey850 Yes, remember in The Empire Strikes Back when Luke says he's "not afraid" and Yoda mocks him with, "You will be. You will be." That was a movie that understood human psychology. The arrogance of believing you can do anything but then the reality that you can't really just plow through challenges without it taking an emotional and physical toll on you.

[@jedijones]

I think Chris Lloyd and Crispin Glover gave the best performances in the movie. They feel like they transform into their characters rather than just showing up to basically read lines as themselves. Tom Wilson may be a nice guy, but he is still basically intimidating in real life with his physical bulk and deep voice.

After hearing this, it's clear how much Tom Wilson really disliked Eric Stoltz's method acting approach. Actors need to be able to flip the switch back to their real personalities, and Stoltz was unable or unwilling to do that while making BTTF. Also, it's a shame that Crispin Glover got so upset at the ending of the movie, and I feel he totally missed the point. He thought that the McFlys were now happy because they were rich, but really it was because George had a burst of confidence at a pivotal time in his life that he was able to be more successful/happy in the new present. We don't even know if they even had any more money (since they were in the same house) but they sure were all happier.

[@DeltaEcho303]

I like Tom's story about how Eric was getting too physical during the cafeteria shoving scene and he was gearing up for some payback. Unfortunately, Eric was fired the next day and he missed his opportunity.

i've heard that, the actor who plays red in That 70's show, frank from Everybody loves Raymond, even the actor that plays Palpatine in star wars. i think they play better mean people or aholes, because they get to act in a way they wouldn't normally act so they probably go all out with it, that if you're a dick in real life and trying to play a character that they may feel they don't have to put much effort in because they're just being themselves

[@TheZoidberg312]

Exactly. I hear Jack Gleeson, Joffrey from Game of Thrones, is an incredibly nice, down to earth person

[@sterling7]

Many years ago, there was some kind of survey of who the nicest celebrities to get an autograph from were, and who were the meanest. I don't remember the full thing, but I do remember that two of the kindest were Vincent Price (may he rest in peace) and Robert Englund, who played Freddy Krueger. (The meanest? Bill Cosby and Roseanne Barr. Apparently horror makes kind people, and comedy makes monsters. Go figure.)

[@Frisbieinstein]

Well, you can guess why you don't hire a real villain. When I saw Ghostbusters 2 I thought the bad guy Wilhelm von Homburg/Norbert Grupe looked like the real thing. I read up on him later. He was. They had some guts hiring that guy. Then there's Klaus Kinski. I thought he did great in those Herzog movies. Everyone on the cast and crew hated him. But he wasn't a criminal, so was he a villian?

[@kennybadger]

Gary Oldman and Christopher Walken are super nice guys. They both made careers out of being the villian. Also Alan Rickman is super nice as well.

[@katiejean6493]

Tom is absolutely right about the importance of that scene. The stakes get so much higher as it's not just about preventing Marty & his brother & sister from being erased and getting him home, but now it's about saving Lorraine from a truly traumatic experience that could have ruined her life. I mean she certainly would not have felt like dating anybody after being raped so she most likely would never have gotten together with George and, given the views about women who got raped back in that time period (that sadly still impact women today), she probably would have faced a lot of harsh judgement and could very well have gone downhill (even more than just alcoholism that she had in the OG timeline). He's also right about it being difficult to play a character that so against who you are in real life. I once played a women in a play that, after tragically losing her child, lashes out at other parents and kills their children so that they know how it feels. I love kids and getting into the mindset of the grief of losing one and then the desire to harm other childen through a need for vengence was deeply disturbing. To combat it I would listen to happy songs or watch comedies at home after a performance. Anyway, he did a great job in the movie and it's nice to know that he's such a good guy.

[@jawbone78]

I always thought the subtext there is that Biff did actually do that to Lorraine in the original timeline. Not that night (but maybe even that night), but at some point, and that was a big part of why she was so adamant about girls not being in parked cars with boys. It wasn't just that she was a hypocrite about her own youth, but that she had been traumatized and had internalized that it was her own fault for getting in the car. Then she married George because she knew he would never hurt her, and because she thought he was weak. Maybe that's reading too much into it, but I always thought there was more to her in the original timeline than just a woman disappointed her life didn't turn out better.

[@katiejean6493]

@@jawbone78You make some good points. Now that you mention it, at that dinner when Lorraine is talking to Marty & saying she doesn't like Jennifer for calling Marty on the phone & starts going on about how she never did that or parked in a car with a boy, her anger about that does seem very specific & a bit of an overreaction. I always just thought she mentioned it because she suspected that Marty was up to no good with his "going to the lake with his buddies" story. Mothers always seem to know what's really going on so I figured she was letting Marty know that she was wise to him planning to go to the lake with Jennifer. But your theory works as well.

But I am thinking of making one or two videos sometime this year.....just to show my new room full of BTTF items.

I love how they all ended up looking better than the movie predicted.

[@kennedysan1045]

Old man biff was great, probably my favourite. A widened character that could see his own errors, not necessarily wanting to change for the better, but you could tell he was met with a realisation at some point.

[@SergioSabinoMusicOfficial]

Great video! It's always great to find more details about this timeless materpiece called "Back To The Future".

[@LeonardStauffer]

Tom Wilson is such a nice guy but we all loved the Biff character !

[@Michelle-ju6vs]

It's funny how Thomas Wilson is more like the 1985 auto detailing Biff than any of the villain character he plays in the trilogy.

[@nickstoli]

Tom Wilson seems like such a wonderful guy. Unfortunately, he was typecasted after Back to the Future and wasn't able to get the roles he deserved.

[@futurefinds3459]

I agree

[@michaelbarnhart2593]

Leah Thompson is so great. Her daughters Zoey and Madelyn Deutch are doing well in their careers also. :-)

[@EricHowl]

Deep. One of the greatest film scenes of all time

[@jemiahdapap8053]

Top three villians imo. Evil Ash, the metal head man from Mr. Nanny, and Biff

[@HellhammerSS]

Hey a zanitos shout out! Cromedome

[@D-Fens_1632]

Wow was it just 5 years ago where a youtube video could put the word "rape" in a description? Don't know why I'm bothering to note this, no one will ever see it.

[@futurefinds3459]

Hope you enjoyed the context of the video though, rather than focusing on just the title of a video

[@randomgrl33]

This was awesome thank you for posting

[@futurefinds3459]

Welcome! Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@dennisjump8655]

You cannot have a great hero without a great villain. Tom Wilson gave those movies that.

[@futurefinds3459]

Very true.

[@Dec4AllTimeAlways]

That's acting. I like Biff as a bully but I love it more that Tom really is a teddy bear.

[@CombatTalkRadio]

This is a good video to show the social justice warriors trying to dumb down cinema. The audience has to FEEL the emotions. They have to FEEL what's going on. You can't soft touch it. It's a MOVIE. It's NOT REAL. So stop saying "oh that didn't age well" - it's a MOVIE.

[@futurefinds3459]

Thanks for the comment! I agree

[@shanthegamer21]

Spitting facts RIGHT THERE!

[@raphaelturtle4146]

Tom really tapped into the idea that "rapists are mean". Where's his oscar?

[@jediknightjairinaiki560]

Will NEVER believe that Mr. Wilson was picked on as a kid. He does not give off that vibe.

[@Ad-fu6tj]

I heard somewhere he was way shorter and shy when he was a kid, maybe he would give you that vibe if you saw him then

[@richardarredondo5672]

Just saw this clip thanks for showing it

[@futurefinds3459]

Welcome! Glad you enjoyed it

[@jedijones]

I think they probably wanted Biff's actor to not be a "natural bully." Because Tom's baseline is a nice guy, when he dials playing a bully up to 11, it still won't feel like an extremely dark and disturbing character. The movie was essentially a comedy, so Biff feels a bit like a cartoon bully and not someone who would truly scare you if you confronted them in a dark alley.

[@savannahoneil-pindar4207]

Random fact: Mr. Wilson _actually_ played a "butt-head" in an episode of _Sabrina, the Teenage Witch_ as Hilda's deadbeat partner.

[@arvi8843]

My favorite trilogy of all time! Thanks for sharing.

[@futurefinds3459]

Welcome!

[@PrettyIndependent1]

I’m so thankful for Thomas! He was such a driving force in the movie. He was an amazing bully and threat in all 3 movies. Having a great adversary is what makes someone a stronger hero and the drama more intense. Marty is all the more lovable and your rooting for him and his family line/future is all the more intensified because of Biff. And for him to be such a nice guy in real life just shows what an incredible actor he is. Knowing that makes him my most beloved bully. He was so important. Back to the future is forever iconic. When I think of real movie magic I think of this trilogy. To me it looks like it could have been shot in 2023. It’s literally timeless 😂

[@johnkevin5420]

Biff, that character makes the movie great. Tom Wilson makes the character so real.

[@annettegenovesi]

Oh that Biff has personality plus. Every single thing in BTTF is beyond great. Like Salieri said in "Amadeus" = "Take away one note, and the structure will fall."

[@SinergiaAlUnisono]

actually I was looking forward to seeing the secret audience character to be gary busey listening to tom sing the classic song in front of him

[@FinalFaith]

Tom: “I am so sorry.” Lea: “You act like I’ve never been in a car scene before.”

[@michaelkrolewski7406]

Wow they actually like each other. Lol

[@futurefinds3459]

Of course! Its Tom, not Biff

[@LIBREPUB]

Tom Wilson was pretty much cast out of nowhere as Biff. Brilliant casting and perfect performances in all 3 movies. I still love Lea Thomson…

[@breakvinnysjaw]

Lea Thompson is so beautiful

[@adam_p99]

He helped make it the masterpiece that it is. Kudos to the casting director… after a significant alteration

[@MrGruffteddybear]

I really enjoyed her performances in Back to the Future, but to me, her performance in Red Dawn was my absolute favorite.

[@futurefinds3459]

She played a great role there. WOLVERINES!!!!!!!!!!!

[@chickyandchuguchannel1616]

this is so nice, thank you for sharing this!

[@futurefinds3459]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@timmitchell3870]

Lea Thompson may be difficult - but she sure still looks great in her 50s.

[@AZCobraman]

When they fired Stoltz do you think Zemekis said, "So make like a tree, and get outta here!"?

[@arthouston7361]

When you can play a bad guy in a movie and you do such a good job that people hate you, you have really achieved something in the world of acting.
