Bio
Tom is an actor, writer, artist, and musician, whose career has explored most every artistic discipline, as well as a few surprises. A man of fervent, but private faith his whole life, the last few years have been interesting, with hundreds of invitations to speak at conferences and retreats, as well as the opportunity to record the music that he began playing in church in the seventies.
Born and raised in Philadelphia, Pa., Tom Wilson has enjoyed a successful career as an actor, writer and comedian for over twenty years. He has more than fifty films, T.V. shows, and comedy specials to his credit, and has appeared on talk shows with everyone from Johnny Carson, Jay Leno and David Letterman, to Regis and Kathie Lee. He starred in the now classic “Back To The Future” film trilogy, and was seen in the family films “That Darn Cat,” “Born To Be Wild,” “Camp Nowhere,” and “Men In White,” as well as the Emmy award winning film about the civil war, “Andersonville.” Most recently, he’s been seen in the T.V. series “Sabrina, The Teenage Witch,” “Maggie,” “Fired Up,” “Nash Bridges,” “Titus,” and on the critically acclaimed “Freaks and Geeks.” He continues to act in movies and television, and he performs comedy and music across America.
As a writer and producer, he’s written for several prestigious literary magazines, as well as for Universal Studios, Disney, Fox, and Film Roman studios, and produced a groundbreaking series of debates for Canadian television called “The Seven Deadly Sins,” which examined cultural values and the role of the arts within them.
As an avocation, he is a photographer and painter, with a photograph in the permanent collection of the California Museum of Photography, and paintings on the walls of the guest bedrooms of many close personal friends. (or, as artists like to say, “in many private collections.)
