"Hey, Biff. Get a load of this guy's life preserver. Dork thinks he's gonna drown!"
—Skinhead commenting on Marty's down vest.

Skinhead was one of three high school boys who made up Biff Tannen's gang in 1955. He got his nickname from a distinctive character trait; "Skinhead" had very short, close-cropped hair.

Biography

Along with Match and 3-D, the adult Skinhead served as one of Biff's bodyguards at Biff Tannen's Pleasure Paradise Casino & Hotel in the ABC timeline 1985A. He still had his crewcut, though his hair was now gray rather than brown.

It is possible that Skinhead was still living in Hill Valley in 1985 (however, it is unclear as to whether this was still the case in 2015), as one of the boys in Needles' gang looked like Skinhead, and quite possibly could have been his son.

Behind the scenes

  • He was never referred to by his real name or his nickname. However, Biff briefly refers to Skinhead as "Joey" while outside of the Enchantment Under the Sea dance. His nickname is only given in the films' novelizations, screenplays and credits.
  • Skinhead was portrayed by J.J. Cohen in Back to the Future (billed as Jeffrey Jay Cohen), and Back to the Future Part II (billed as J.J. Cohen).
  • Cohen also played the role of one of the boys in Needles' gang in 1985, although with long hair instead of a crewcut. It could be implied that this boy is Skinhead's son, or some younger relative.
