Indie Wednesday: Tom Wilson



What better way to use this Indie Wednesday than to celebrate Tom Wilson, the man who gave us our 80s Villain Champion? Tom does a lot of stand-up comedy these days. You don't have to watch much of his material on YouTube before you realize it is an outright crime and an indictment on Hollywood's short-sightedness that Tom doesn't have a steady stream of high quality acting work.

His delivery and timing are spot on. He's a comedic natural. Even in his best known role, he didn't get a chance to put that side of his talent on full display. To me, he seems custom-built to be a sitcom Dad. Not a throwaway dope, but rather the stressed and hilarious type that carries the show. Trust me, if Walk Softly Films was in a position to pay actors, we'd be begging Tom Wilson to work for us. Why? Because he's really good and we're not stupid.

Anyway, enjoy this great song about all the questions Mr. Wilson has to answer about Biff and BTTF.
