Off The Cuff With Peter Travers: Crispin Glover

Peter Travers recently hosted a chat session with the elusive Crispin Glover and got the star of Tim Burton's new Alice in Wonderland to reveal the real reason he didn't star in Back to the Future Part II, why River's Edge is one of the few films he's seen featuring his own work, and the truth behind his infamous 1987 David Letterman interview. "I've always tended toward having an interest in more extreme facets of human existence," Glover says (he also explains the birth of his "Clowny Clown Clown" video). Don't miss his a cappella performance of "Ben" and rare honest look back at his best roles in Off the Cuff.

Crispin Glover is such a gentleman, i really want to meet this guy and see it for myself, he really is a great actor :)

[@jadar2915]

It seems like everyone that interviews him cuts him off or interrupts him so annoying rude & disrespectful for once I would like to be able to hear what he has to say I thought that was the whole point of an interview

[@Hung_Nguyen_90]

They be like: "HELLO McFly! Anybody home?"

[@fandude7]

what the hell is wrong with Travers? Thought he was rude to Mr. Glover by interrupting the cat story he was about to tell.

[@fshoaps]

Yeah, that was incredibly bizarre and rude.

[@kellenbrent]

I've been going through a ton of these and he always interrupts a good yarn just as it gets going

[@beatacatthegreat]

What a fine interview. Crispin is so lovely, he does everything with such grace. And I really like his singing voice. :)

[@buttonholes]

Glover turned Gale’s writing into one of the most memorable archetypes in film history. It isn’t surprising that Gale took issue with whatever he perceived as Glover’s demands at the time, but it does surprise me that Gale doesn’t admit, now, candidly, that he made a huge mistake not paying whatever because Glover was exceptional.

[@JayZer0]

The one compliment I will pay to Peter Travers regarding this interview: He is a gentleman for introducing me to "Clowny Clown Clown".

[@sugarkaneification]

Crispin is perfection

[@missobtuse]

This could have been a really interesting interview if Mr Glover was acutally able to answer or get more than 5 words before the guy asked another question. Ehh I was interested in some of the answers and know I will never know.

[@ericjay6021]

The interviewer is awful.

[@thomasmargolis3313]

Having principles comes with a price.

[@chanteleigh1]

0:22 Check out the tiny little "WTF" expression on Crispin's face as he draws his eyebrows together the merest fraction and sort of looks at this jerk in a state of sheer disbelief.....priceless. :)

[@damon6852]

Absolutely love Crispin!!

[@WhoaMellyNYC]

WTF is going on in the first 35 seconds of this interview? It's so disjointed...Couldn't they have done a better job of editing this?? The interview is all over the place and Travers keeps cutting Crispin off and taking over the whole thing. A real interview is supposed to be a conversation, going back & forth... Travers dominates the whole clip... Boo.

[@immortaldawn1]

Hes sooo sweet.. :) in person to..ahhhh hes a doll

[@hydraIX]

Awesome Gibson SG in the corner !!!

[@majiime.]

Paused at 8:47 >>> now you have a rare pose of nervous Crispin

[@divahime378]

if i was Crispin,i would be really creeped out at all the stuff Travers lays out for him, especially the letterman pic....

[@StarmanSkywalker]

F*** Peter Travers for cutting off Crispin Glover just as he was getting into the details as to why he refused to sign up for Back to the Future Part II.

[@MJsPussyCat]

True. I was disappointed because I REALLY wanted to know what his motivation for "Clowny Clown Clown" was. Does anyone know?

[@rtbarnes4893]

I co-wrote "Clowny Clown Clown" with Crispin. Was a fun experience--

[@IamKevinFinnerty]

Lou, gimme a milk............... Chocolate.

[@uutooyu]

that interviewer is annoying.

[@duralaster]

The interviewer, this is the guy who's suppose to draw me certain into watching movies?

[@fockingreat1125]

Wait holy shit I didn't know he could play guitar.

[@yokoisdead]

what is with the interviewer's obsession about crispin playing the guitar or just do stuff? :D

[@uutooyu]

looks just like his dad. well of course he does.

[@seafoamcake]

@mokeymina2 Oh, but he has... and "interesting" is certainly one word that can be used to describe it.

[@kyaraluna]

Avesse azzeccato una nota...

[@Veghead25]

STOP SAYING "RIGHT"!

[@MrSophisticatedDude]

Wow Crispín can't sing for crap..But he is a good actor

[@varsume]

He never really answers any questions - some gentleman

[@2004dale]

crispin is one of those people who when he speaks he has something to say. why did he cut him off at 0:36? letterman has done that to him, also. what the hell! and awkward moment of silence while starring at 0:17. lol

[@lostinmymind101]

Getting Run Over, With Peter Travers.

[@sttarch5150]

Has anyone told this guy to shut up and listen?

[@Mr1998420]

CRISPIN GLOVER = IDOL

[@WastedSpace]

I love Crispin... this was great!

[@fockingreat1125]

God damn it. I wanted to hear more about that cat story.

[@MJsPussyCat]

He seems like a sweetheart. I really want to meet him.

[@Raichu234]

Gd interview. Crispin is legend! :D I would love him to play the guitar lol hehe. x

[@MJsPussyCat]

Crispin Glover nervous...that's something that I've never thought of before.

[@MataHariLindemann]
