<P> Douglas J. Needles (portrayed by Flea in Back to the Future Part II and Back to the Future Part III) is an acquaintance of Marty McFly and Jennifer Parker from Hill Valley High School . Like his school's alumnus, Biff Tannen, Needles also has his own gang (portrayed by Christopher Wynne, J.J. Cohen, and Ricky Dean Logan) and develops a rivalry with Marty . Needles often goads Marty into doing reckless things such as a street race that leads Marty to crash into a Rolls Royce and an illegal transaction which results in his firing in 2015 . </P> <P> Goldie Wilson (played by Donald Fullilove in part 1) is a young man working at Lou's Cafe in 1955 who goes on to become the first black Mayor of Hill Valley in the 1980s . A campaign poster shows the name Goldie in quotation marks, suggesting Goldie is a nickname, presumably in reference to his gold tooth . He would also have a grandson, Goldie Wilson III (also played by Fullilove) in Part II, who works as a car salesman . </P> <P> Match (portrayed by Billy Zane), Skinhead (portrayed by Jeffrey Jay Cohen), and 3 - D (portrayed by Casey Siemaszko) are the three high school boys who make up Biff Tannen's gang in 1955 . Their nicknames are only given in the films' novels, screenplays, and credits . Only one of their real names is mentioned in the movies--Biff refers to Skinhead as Joey in one of the 1955 scenes in Back to the Future Part II, while outside of the "Enchantment Under the Sea" dance . </P> <P> In the alternate 1985, the three work in Biff's casino as his bodyguards . Each gets his nickname from a distinctive character trait . Match often has a match sticking out of his mouth; Skinhead has very short, close - cropped hair; 3 - D is always wearing a pair of anaglyphic 3 - D glasses (a reference to the 3 - D movies that were popular in the 1950s). </P>
