I am not the only person who believes that Christopher Lloyd, the actor from “Back To The Future” is the most underrated Biff of all time. In fact there are many people who agree with me on this matter. However, there are also many people who disagree with me and who think that other Biffs are better than Christopher Lloyd. But they are wrong.

There are three main reasons why Christopher Lloyd is the most underrated Biff of all time. The first one is that he was in “Back To The Future”, which was a good movie. The second reason is that he played Biff, who was an important character in it. And thirdly, he did so well at playing Biff that people don’t even realize how good his performance was!

So those are my three main arguments for why Christopher Lloyd is the most underrated Biff of all time. I hope you enjoyed reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them down here today 🙂 Thank you very much and goodbye!

Christopher Lloyd is the most underrated Biff of all time. This is a bold statement for sure, but I stand behind it. You see, I’m a huge Back to the Future fan–in fact, I’m such a huge fan that I watched the all three films on repeat for a full week prior to starting this blog.

I analyzed every single Biff moment in all three movies, and here’s what I discovered:

The original Back to the Future film has been out for 30 years now. As such, it has become a timeless classic and an iconic moment in American cinema. In this piece, we are going to look at the film’s villain, Biff Tannen, and why Christopher Lloyd is the most underrated of all time.

The first thing that readers need to know about Biff is that he was played by Thomas F. Wilson in the film. Wilson is likely best known for this role, and not much else, which is unfortunate because he is a very talented actor. He played two different versions of Tannen in each of the first two films — 1955’s Biff in the first film and 2015’s Biff in Back to the Future Part II.

In Back to the Future Part III, Biff as portrayed by Wilson was not a villain, but more of a foil for Marty McFly as he searched for Doc Brown after being thrown back into 1885. This version of Biff had been changed by Doc Brown’s actions in 1885 when Doc saved Clara Clayton from drowning in a river after her wagon went over Shonash Ravine (also known as “Clayton Ravine”).

Doc was severely injured during his attempt to save Clara Clayton

When it comes to the Biffs of Back to the Future, everyone has their preferred version.

Those who prefer a more nuanced take on their bullies tend to gravitate toward Eric Stoltz’s embodiment of Tannen in Back to the Future Part 2. The actor was originally cast as Marty McFly, but after four weeks of filming, director Robert Zemeckis decided he wasn’t right for the role and took a substantial risk by recasting Michael J. Fox as his lead. Stoltz’s Biff remains in only one sequence, where he uses his brawn to toss Marty under a car at Lou’s Cafe.

In Part 2, we see three different versions of Biff — young, middle-aged, and old — and each offers a different perspective on the character. Middle-aged Biff is the easiest to dislike; he’s mean-spirited, disrespectful and quick with his fists (the scene where he punches Lorraine will make your blood boil). But young Biff is an entirely different beast: He’s slimy and smarmy, but also kind of pathetic. And old Biff? Well, he doesn’t do much besides sit around in a bathrobe with a walker.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year. No, not Christmas. It’s Back to the Future Day! October 21, 2015 is the day that Marty McFly and Doc Brown traveled to in 1989 sequel Back to the Future Part II, and we’ve been preparing for this day for years.

That said, considering how much work we put into this day, we could have at least gotten a hoverboard out of it. Still, there are other ways to celebrate Back to the Future Day and one of them is by watching all three films in Robert Zemeckis’ seminal trilogy. And it doesn’t matter if you watch the original or its darker sequel (or even the goofy cartoon series), there’s one thing that instantly makes your viewing experience better: Christopher Lloyd as Dr. Emmett Brown.

Yes, Lloyd is an iconic actor for countless reasons, but his role as Doc in these films is just about perfect, so perfect that even when other actors played him in alternate versions, they couldn’t top Lloyd’s performance. That said, since today is Back to The Future Day, let’s break down who played Doc best and worst.
