It says " Cast (in credits order) verified as complete"

but it only has the old Biff.

THomas F Wilson plays Biff (and Buford) an all movies. He is the only actor to play Biff.

Yeah. They did the same thing with Marty's parents - same actors played them young and old (except they replaced that crazy mofo Crispin Glover after the first one).

The guy who played Biff wrote a pretty funny song about all of the stupid questions people still ask him about the movies.

Biff Tannen: Go ahead, kid! Jump! A suicide will be nice and neat.
Marty McFly: What if I don't?
[Biff points gun at Marty]
Biff Tannen: Lead poisoning.

Still one of my favorite quotes from the movie. Also, the look on Biff's face after Mary comes gliding back up on the Delorean is priceless!

hmmm i guess ur right... don't know why i didn't think of it that way. i guess when i looked at the actors page his picture now kinda looks like old biff so i didn't really think of it any further. granted the movie is what almost 20 years old... :confused:

The same guy that played the father of a patient on House a few episodes back. It blew my mind when I saw him, I was like "That's Biff!" Nobody believed me until I IMDB'd it.

Thomas F. Wilson.
