Actor Crispin Glover Speaks
Crispin Glover talks movies, career and Letterman
“Eccentric doesn't bother me. 'Eccentric' being a poetic interpretation of a mathematical term meaning something that doesn't follow the lines - that's okay.” – Crispin Glover
Uninhibited by the restrictions of convention, cult performer Crispin Glover is one strange and kooky kat. A hypnotic presence and studied individualist who’s quirky psyche endears each new characterization as unmissable.
“But there's a difference between having artistic interests and being psychotic. That's more than a fine line of differentiation, and I do see that a bit too much.” – Crispin Glover
A unique voice orating ideas from a mind plagued with riddles any time he communicates with the press you are guaranteed something beyond de’riguer.
“I do like things that are not necessarily a reflection of what is considered the right thing by this culture. Somehow, promoting that status quo I find uninteresting.” - Crispin Glover
Recently speaking on camera with Interviewing Hollywood he has answered a plethora of juicy questions submitted by fans. Tackling style, approach, motivations he answers the probing eye of “Do you remain in character between takes?”, and “When choosing a role, is the character's psychology the first thing you identify with?”. He even talks about the now infamous David Letterman interview from 1987.
The son of the equally eccentric Bruce Glover (Diamonds are Forever, Chinatown, Ghost World) Crispin Hellion Glover is best remembered for playing Michael J Fox’s dad at just 21 years old, he was the original George McFly in Back To The Future. Before that he appeared in At Close Range, the same year defining his versatility in the teen angst of River’s Edge.
Working with master Directors David Lynch in Wild at Heart and Milos Foreman for The People vs Larry Flynt, he steeped himself in the part of Andy Warhol for Oliver Stones The Doors. Co starring with Johnny Depp in What’s Eating Gilbert Grape and Dead Man he has eked out a diverse career that recently saw him astound in the rats on the brain remake of Willard.
Writing and Directing personal projects like What Is It? with a cast of down syndrome thespians and having to feed economics with mainstream fluff like Charlie’s Angels.
“Yes because it is always a bit nerve wracking when you lay something out there that is meaningful to you to be judged by others, after a point you become very close to your film and you want everyone to ‘get it' -- but that is an unrealistic expectation -- No, because I am here among friends, I know that, I can feel that.” - Crispin Glover
Drawn to each new casting, John Doe is an avid observer of Crispin Glovers work, his name appearing in the credits will generally guarantee a screening. This entertaining and frustrating artists interview is revealing, an essential for any fan of performers with a subjective, explorative existence.

Check this out...
yanno I first saw this guy on X-files years ago and he truly creeped me out even back then, but I havta admit he fits the genre of horror to a tee...
He's a pretty good actor to boot, and that makes him even more worthwhile to watch...
Great read!
Take care,

Crispin is a one of a kind for sure and though he can play creepy I find his strength lies in the ability to draw our empathy. There is a gentle tenderness in his body language that makes us see stramnge, harmless traits.
Thanks for dropping in.

I loved Willard too and agree it was Crispin who made it so moving.
A madman for sure, but also seems thoughtful and single minded.
Thanks for the visit.
