    A six-second cameo in Home Alone 2 does not make that fuckwad a “movie star!”

        “Sorta” is right. Thomas F. Wilson doesn’t get anywhere near the credit he deserves!

        Think about it: Christopher Lloyd only had to play two roles (“present day” Doc and 1955 Doc). Michael J. Fox only had to play three roles (“present day” Marty, 2015 middle-aged Marty, and Marty’s son). Thomas F. Wilson had to play seven different roles (initial-1985 Biff who was Marty’s dad’s boss, 1955 Biff, changed-1985 Biff with the car detailing business, 2015 elderly Biff, Griff, alternate-1985 Biff-as-Trump-expy, and Mad-Dog), and all of them had to be way more different from each other than the Doc or Marty variants! It was by far the most brilliant acting in the whole franchise, and that was a franchise with a lot of great acting.

        And he didn’t even get “star” billing for it! It’s a crime, I tell you!

          To be fair, Fox also played his daughter in part 2 and his ancestor (Seamus?) in part 3, but rather briefly.
