Crispin Hellion Glover


My new interest is in an actor by the name of Crispin Hellion Glover. Otherwise known as George McFly from Back to the future, or Willard from....Willard.

Crispin Glover is either a genius or insane, but he is more than likely not both.



In 1987 while appearing on The Late Show, he dressed as a character from the film Rubin and Ed, wearing a wig and platform shoes. He gets extremely distraught and confused and then tries to kick David Letterman in the head. Three years later he tries to explain himself appearing on the Late Show in a very long winded explanation that seems as if hes trying to explain that it wasn't him. It was. (or was it.) In another video he goes on to explain that he will never reveal if that was actually him or not since he enjoys the ambiguity of entertainment phenomenas. He explain in yet another interview that it actually was him and he was doing a sociological experiment to portray himself exactly the way the media portrays him as a "neurotic eccentric."


Around 1990 he released an album called The Big Problem Does Not Equal The Solution, The Solution Equals Let It Be. This bizarre album contains great hits like Clowny clown clown, a lee hazelwood cover, as well as a bizarre falsetto cover of a Charles Manson song. The album contains a puzzle that you are supposed to figure out and he gives his home phone number so you can personally tell him what it is. He later said he was surprised to see how many people figured it out. I was surprised that so many people listened to this album.

He has also worked in movie directing and apparently creates art that I cannot seem to find. and yadda yadda something about children's books

If anyone has any interesting information about Crispin Glover please post it in a remark.

I can't figure out if he is really really intelligent and is so above us all that we cannot even comprehend the concepts he is trying to explain, or if he is a damaged sociopath that accidentally stumbled into Hollywood and no one can seem to get rid of him. Like I said before though, he is either a genius or a psychopath.
