Known for starring in a hit cult classic movie fro the 1980s as a bully, this Hollywood star now looks a far cry from his acting heyday.
In the hit movie, which catapulted him to stardom, this actor rocked a short back and sides haircut, with his hair in a brunette hue.
He was also 40 years younger, meaning he was in his mid-twenties when the show came out.
His career has since transitioned to stand-up comedy, with him also having painted works for Disney theme parks.
Can you guess who he is and what he starred in?
You've got it, it's Thomas F. Wilson.
Thomas, who hails from Philadelphia, played he role of Biff in the Back To The Future franchise.
Stepping out and meeting a pal for lunch earlier this month, Thomas was seen wearing a dark navy blue T-shirt, dark gray cargo shorts, some blue sneakers and a black crossbody bag.
Known for short brunette hair when he played Biff Tannen, Thomas' hair is now long and white.
He and his friend, who he met for lunch, were seen chatting as they were snapped.

Although he shot to fame in Back To The Future, Thomas starred in several other movies.
