In 1979, he got his first significant stage experience as a comedian.<ref name="latimes"/>

==Career== In 1981, Wilson moved to Los Angeles to pursue his acting career.<ref name="latimes">{{cite news|author=Dennis Mclellan |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1993-03-11-ol-984-story.html |title=TUBA OR NOT TUBA? : Tom Wilson's Blasts of the Past Are Back |newspaper=latimes.com |date=March 11, 1993 |access-date=September 5, 2020}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.backtothefuture.com/cast/thomas-wilson|title = Back to the Future™ Trilogy — Tom Wilson}}</ref> He shared an apartment with fellow aspiring comedians Andrew Dice Clay and Yakov Smirnoff, and later joked that he "taught them both about America".<ref>{{cite journal |url=http://www.phillymag.com/articles/whats-what-with-tom-wilson/ |title=What's What With … Tom Wilson |journal=Philadelphia magazine |date=December 3, 2008 |access-date=March 16, 2019 |publisher=MetroCorp |archive-date=September 24, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924073315/http://www.phillymag.com/articles/whats-what-with-tom-wilson/ |url-status=dead }}</ref> He had a small role in the second season of NBC's ''Knight Rider'' in an episode titled "A Knight In Shining Armor".{{bcn|date=January 2025}}

Wilson's breakthrough role was as the bully Biff Tannen in the 1985 film ''Back to the Future''. He returned in the sequels ''Back to the Future Part II'' and ''Back to the Future Part III'', reprising his role as Biff, and as Biff's grandson Griff Tannen and great-grandfather Buford "Mad Dog" Tannen. In each ''Back to the Future'' film, his character ends up in a pile of manure after trying to kill or hurt Michael J. Fox's character Marty McFly. He reprised his role as Biff and voiced various Tannen relatives in the animated series.

Wilson did not reprise his role as Biff in the initial versions of Telltale's ''Back to the Future: The Game'' released in 2011, being replaced by Kid Beyond. When the game was ported to the PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One in 2015 in commemoration of the original film's 30th anniversary, Wilson returned to provide Biff's voice in these newer versions. Wilson found the car scene in the first ''Back to the Future'', in which he molests Lea Thompson's character, Lorraine the most difficult scene he shot. In between takes Wilson whispered to Thompson "I'm so sorry, Lea." to which Thompson replied with "It's just acting, Tom."{{cn|date=June 2024}}

In 1992, he voiced gangster Tony Zucco in ''Batman: The Animated Series'' and police detective Matt Bluestone in the animated series ''Gargoyles''.{{Citation needed|date=September 2015}} In 1994, Wilson was briefly reunited with his ''Back to the Future'' co-star Christopher Lloyd in the film ''Camp Nowhere''. He later went to co-star with Mark Hamill in the video game ''Wing Commander III: Heart of the Tiger''. It was the third chapter in the ''Wing Commander'' series, but the first to feature live action. The character played by Wilson was Major Todd "Maniac" Marshall, a fellow starfighter pilot to Hamill's character. Wilson starred in the sequels ''Wing Commander IV: The Price of Freedom'' (1995) and ''Wing Commander: Prophecy'' (1997) and contributed his voice to the animated series ''Wing Commander Academy'' (1996) in the same role. He guest starred in an episode of ''Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman'' in 1997.

Wilson played McKinley High School's Coach Ben Fredricks in the 1999–2000 NBC comedy drama ''Freaks and Geeks''.

Wilson has done voice-over work for the Nickelodeon television series ''SpongeBob SquarePants''. He has voiced many villainous characters that are physically strong and menacing, such as Flats the Flounder in the third-season episode "The Bully", The Tattletale Strangler in "SpongeBob Meets the Strangler", and the non-villainous character Reg the Club Bouncer in "No Weenies Allowed". In 2005, he played Coach Phelps in the TV series ''Zoey 101''.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.mtv.com/news/2346301/zoey-101-celeb-guest-stars/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151029192210/http://www.mtv.com/news/2346301/zoey-101-celeb-guest-stars/ |url-status=dead |archive-date=October 29, 2015 |title=12 Celeb Guest Stars You Completely Forgot Were On 'Zoey 101' |first=Stacey |last=Grant |date=October 29, 2015 |access-date=April 25, 2019 |work=MTV News |publisher=MTV}}</ref>

According to a 2012 Gawker article, the rise in popularity of the ''Back to the Future'' series led many people to repeatedly ask Wilson questions about the films and his co-stars. Because he found the repetitive nature of the questions to be both amusing and frustrating, he wrote a song about them titled "Biff's Question Song" which he includes in his stand-up routine.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.gawkerarchives.com/5909535/biff-tannen-has-a-business-card-that-answers-all-your-annoying-questions-about-back-to-the-future|title=Biff Tannen Has a Business Card that Answers All Your Annoying Questions About Back to the Future |first=Neetzan |last=Zimmerman |date=November 5, 2012 |access-date=December 23, 2024|work=Gawker}}</ref> He hosted a podcast, ''Big Pop Fun'', on the Nerdist Network from 2011 to 2014. The podcast featured Wilson sharing stories of his career, as well as informal chats with show business friends including Samm Levine, Blake Clark, Steve Oedekerk and "Weird Al" Yankovic.

Wilson maintains a YouTube channel, where he regularly vlogs. As of April 2025, his channel has over 44,400 subscribers.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/@TomWilson|title=Tom Wilson|website=YouTube|language=en|access-date=February 24, 2025}}</ref>
