WTF Happened to Crispin Glover?

Crispin Glover is one strange dude, but that’s what we love about him. First bursting onto the scene playing Marty McFly’s nerdy father, George, in Back to the Future, Glover could have gone on to a perfectly serviceable career as an inoffensive character actor, but to say he had other ideas is putting things mildly. The very next year, 1986, featured Glover in two memorably eccentric supporting roles: opposite Sean Penn in At Close Range and the other opposite Keanu Reeves in the cult classic River’s Edge. In 1989, Glover did the impossible; he crossed Steven Spielberg when he refused to return for the Back to the Future sequels and even sued when they reused footage of him from the first film.
Around the same time, Glover, in a move that was either brilliant or spectacularly ill-advised, went on Late Night with David Letterman and kicked the host in the head. It might have been performance art - or it might have been something else - but that, coupled with the lawsuit, made people think Glover was nuts. Yet, rather than hurt his career, it turned him into a cult icon, with him stealing scenes in Wild at Heart, The Doors, Dead Man, and many others. In 2000, he had his most prominent role since Back to the Future in Charlie’s Angels and its sequel. He even got to be a leading man in the horror remake of Willard.
Since then, Glover’s somewhat retreated from the spotlight, directing his bizarre cult movies, making music, and typically only showing up in lower-key projects. In this episode of WTF Happened to this Celebrity, which is written (with Mathew Plale), edited, narrated and produced by Taylor James Johnson, we dig into the life of a true Hollywood original

It's ironic that George McFly had a hard time standing up for himself, whereas offscreen, Glover was the exact opposite, and wouldn't stop being demanding.

"River's Edge" was an intense movie, and Glover was just out of his mind. I can almost see why everyone in Hollywood just kept him at arm's length. You have to go a long way to be too weird for Hollywood, but he pulled it off quite admirably.

[@RenegadeContext]

I don't think you can be too weird for Hollywood but your only allowed to direct it at "unimportant people" he was an equal rights weirdo which is not acceptable

[@terrywilliams7827]

Always loved this movie. He was great at his role

[@magazineretriever9036]

Yeah, Crispin Glover seemed legitimately insane in River's Edge. That movie damn near traumatized me when I watched it as a little kid. Glover's bit role in Wild At Heart also seemed to be tailor-made for him.

[@mmclaurin8035]

I understand what Crispin was saying about money being the reward at the end of BTTF, but it wasn't JUST money. It was realized potential, and self confidence, doing something he had passion for as a way to help raise his family, instead of being stuck in a job he hated.

[@andrewkaye2108]

I agree. To me, it was the older son and daughter being more successful and George and his wife being more confident that were positive changes, the money was just a side effect of that.

[@charlesvickers2047]

Yeah, supposedly, Eric Stoltz (first actor picked for Marty McFly), ended up leaving the film, because he honestly felt that anyone who 'disrupts the time/space continuum' deserves to be punished by fate. Some actors take shit a little TOO seriously, sometimes...

[@charlesvickers2047]

Oh, the director realized Michael J. Fox (the first choice for M. McFly) was the only choice. That too. Oops.

[@StandWatie1862]

Yeah a rich kid mentality. Someone who never lived paycheck to paycheck.

[@magazineretriever9036]

It seemed to me, like the McFlys in 1985-B were "well-off", but not wealthy per se. In fact, George McFly's first novel had only recently been published. It also seemed to me like the two grown McFly kids, Dave and Linda were still living at home, because Dave apparently answers his parents' house phone, when someone named "Greg or Craig" called Linda. I was always under the impression that the Marty McFly from 1985-B, who the original Marty sees fleeing in the DeLoreon at "Lone Pine Mall" was a completely different person -- perhaps someone who "wasn't a slacker", and therefore worked hard to pay for half of the shiny, new, Toyota SR5 in his parents' garage -- while his parents paid for the other half.

[@Canalus]

We need to talk about how Letterman didn't even flinch when that platform shoe cut the air at an inch from his nose. Tough mother.

[@magazineretriever9036]

What's strange to me, is that Crispin Glover got banned from returning to Late Night after that incident, even though Dave Letterman didn't seem visibly afraid of Crispin kicking him. Maybe it was the network's decision not to allow Crispin back on the show, and not Dave's.

[@Scorchy666]

@@magazineretriever9036 I think the network was afraid of another incident like when Andy Kaufman was smacked hard live on air. They didn't want the show to unravel into a Jerry Springer-type format.

I got to see Glover present "What Is It?" in person. He can be a commanding presence in a room! His movie was as "art house" as you could imagine, and Glover himself was wonderfully unpretentious in the Q&A, revealing frank bits of trivia about both his movie and himself. I'm glad he's in the world and expressing himself.

[@pest174]

Same! Watched it when it was presented in NYC about a decade ago.

[@dano8902]

I saw him in Buffalo presenting the film "What Is It?" a couple weeks before I had back surgery back in 2013. I bought a copy of Ratcatching at that event! Yes, it's weird but still oddly fascinating. He did have to kick some douchebag out for violating the rule of not taking videos with cellphones...I could understand that given the content of the film and how it could be taken out of context if only clips were shown. Anyway, after seeing him in person I can totally see how his Letterman appearances were performance art.

Saw him at my gym a few years ago. He wore all black, including black gloves and long sleeves, and worked out with his trainer while wearing headphones.

[@derekshropshire2513]

I asked him about the ending to BTTF and in one script the McFly's had black servants. Crispin had a huge problem with this. They weren't just successful but were extremely wealthy. Eventually it was changed to Biff doing the chores. What is it is definitely out there. He was very nice when I met him definitely an interesting individual.

[@magazineretriever9036]

What I've never understood is, if the McFlys in 1985-B are "wealthy", then why do they live in the same modest home as the McFlys from 1985-A? I'd say that the 1985-B McFlys are well-off, but not wealthy. That isn't the kind of home where you're likely to find servants. So, that whole angle would have been odd to see in the original film. Instead of hiring black servants, the McFly's hire Biff Tannen, the man who nearly raped Lorraine 30 years earlier, to wax their vehicles. 😆

[@trekkiejunk]

If George McFly had gotten so rich, why did they live in the same house at the end of the movie? Wouldn't he have moved the family into a nicer house? Sure, it was decorated nicer, but it looked more like George and Lorraine just cared enough to keep it nice. In the beginning, mom and dad just didn't care. I'm sure there was extra money coming in as an author, but it doesn't look like a huge jump in his net worth. Beyond that, as others have said, it wasn't the celebration of wealth. It was the celebration of George sanding up for himself, and in the end, doing what he loved (writing). The house at the end doesn't look like a rich person's house. It looks like a house lived in by someone who simply cared to clean it up and make it look nice.

You know how in this modern world some people say, people should just be themselves, he was just doing that 40 years before it was "cool" to do it. He doesn't want to conform, he probably just doesn't care what anyone thinks, it comes down to what is normal anyway? And as for the characters and behaviours on chat shows is probably one of the early examples of actors playing an alter ego and going deep into it. Like Cohen being Borat.
