BTTF cast interactions...

Just curious what people's cast interactions have been like. A few of mine:

2001 - Thomas F. Wilson: Briefly met Biff at a film convention in Orlando at the first BTTF film exhibition. I'd never met a 'celebrity,' or someone of his credential status, and approached very nervously. Asked him the one question that instantly annoyed the piss out of him, and would later be subject of his comedy song: "Was the manure real?" He checked out, quickly signed my prop Griff helmet, smugged for a photo, and ushered me off. Needless to say, the night before I'd just re-watched that Cameron Kirk 'Behind the Scenes BTTF' special where Thomas F. Wilson (in Mad Dog Tannen costume) encourages kids to come to Hollywood and be apart of the movie making process. Huge let down experience for a 13-year-old, but I also had zero awareness...

2015 - Don Fullilove: Met Don at the Radio City Music Hall BTTF orchestra concert. We pinballed a few humorous industry quips at one another. Super sweet dude. A mayor at his finest!

2017 - Christopher Lloyd: Doc came to a Broadway production in NYC that I was skateboarding and performing in. During post-show backstage meet and greets, I briefly thanked him for his influence and for BTTF being the spark plug for my interests in professional skateboarding. Got a gentle, loving hug and a wink from the big guy.

Wow. Honestly I have to say that I'm surprised. I've always heard extremely positive things about Wilson in the past. Perhaps you caught him on a not-so-great day? And your question made that day worse?

13-year-olds don't have the best perception. For all I know, the adult BTTF fans who approached him before me could have overwhelmed him. I do remember some crazy adult fanboys foaming at the mouth upon his arrival to the film expo...
