James Stewart Tolkan was born on 20 June 1931 in Calumet, Michigan, and served in the United States Navy before studying acting with Lee Strasberg and Stella Adler at the Actors Studio in New York . He is best remembered for his portrayal of the strict Hill Valley High School vice principal Gerald Strickland in the Back to the Future trilogy (1985–1990), a character who famously derided Marty McFly and his friends as "slackers" . He reprised the role in Back to the Future Part II (1989) and played the character's grandfather, Chief Marshal James Strickland, in Back to the Future Part III (1990) .

Beyond Hill Valley, Tolkan brought his signature intensity to another 1980s classic. In Top Gun (1986), he portrayed Commander Tom "Stinger" Jardian, the commanding officer of the USS Enterprise's Carrier Air Wing, who delivers one of the film's most memorable lines to Tom Cruise's Maverick . His filmography also includes memorable roles in WarGames (1983), Dick Tracy (1990), Masters of the Universe (1987), and Woody Allen's Love and Death (1975), in which he played Napoleon Bonaparte .

Tolkan's distinctive appearance – short, bald, with beady, intense eyes, a wiry build, and a gruff, high-decibel voice – made him the perfect choice for rugged, cynical cops, mean, domineering authority figures, and ruthless criminals . He was a versatile stage actor, appearing in the original 1984 Broadway production of David Mamet's Glengarry Glen Ross, and made guest appearances on numerous television series, including Hill Street Blues, Miami Vice, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, and The Wonder Years .
