+MyBoobear27 CRISPIN GLOVER is an actor - a good actor, a FILM actor, not a TV whore role player...I would lose respect in all things "sacred" (for lack of a better term) if he did something like that!!
HEΛRTS OF SPΛCE he can have my # if he wants to!! Think of the best, most celebrated actors of the last, say, 40-50 years: none of them (except for the odd chat-show circuit) have been on a TV series or worse, a sitcom - people like Brando, DeNiro, Jack Nicholson, William Hurt, Harvey Keitel, Gene Hackman, Kevin Spacey, the late, great John Cassavetes (director and sometime actor, who would whore in some Hollywood pix to finance his indie greats), Seymour Cassell, Dustin Hoffman, and, yes, even, Brad fucking Pitt. (I could say Tom Cruise), but every movie he's been in has been shit -lots of times cuz they were just bad movies, but also because anything w/that motherfucker in it is rendered unwatchable and de facto shit!!! Hell, I've never seen Kubrick's final film, Eyes Wide Shut- why? Because Tom "Mr Shallow scientology fuck" Cruise was in it and no matter how good the rest of it was, that closet-queen (I mean, come on, at least admit yr gay, for chrissake? Why do you think he can't stay married -besides being a total scientologist FREAK? - cuz he's not into women! (duh))...
Conan really did a fantastic job here, great interview! Unlike other hosts (famously Letterman in the '80s and '90s, and later also Kimmel) Conan clearly understands that Crispin Glover had previously shown up to Late Night 'in character' to promote his work rather than himself. To accommodate this, the segment starts with the promotional movie clip that is normally shown at then end, and the entire first half of the interview is a genuine conversation about the movie. Around the halfway mark (3:50) Conan then 'calls out' Crispin Glover for dressing exactly like his character in the movie, even straight up asking "what's going on here...?", while also making it clear that he appreciates the effort. Crispin Glover then seems to drop all remaining traces of his 'Willard' character for the remainder of the interview, in which he talks about a few odd artifacts of bygone popular culture that he owns.
I really like how Conan does a more respectful interview with him, than David Letterman. Though Letterman was almost always a douche to people he just didnt like, or understand. He would purposefully have guests brought in for the sole purpose of berating them. I do know now though, that Crispin was actually playing Dave, not the other way around. Dave was the dumb fuck in those episodes lol
The script was the problem, not the cast. Watch assault on arkham and see what it could have been. If you're really interested the suicide squad comics were amazing, I hate that they lost the abusive relationship between Harley and Mr J. Too much romance and since when are they good guys?
I'm a huge fan of Crispin Glover. In this interview he seems calmer and more comfortable. In most of his interviews (mostly Letterman), he stutters and seems nervous. It's nice seeing him more at ease
Letterman generally likes playing along with avant garde acts to fool/mess with his audience. His previous work with Kauffman for example. Glover plays a character whenever he's on letterman's show in order to get a reaction... He also really likes messing with movie corporations who expect actors to go out and promote films with witty banter or relaying little anicdotes. So comically he takes that to the extreme by creating a strange interview which people will talk about or remember. Letterman is just the type of person who loves playing along and be the straight man in the act (just really to see how far they can go). Will Ferrell likes to do the same things, but more as one off gags.
Conan is so great. He really makes everyone feel so comfortable and seems like a lot of fun. I love Cripsin too, he makes my heart sing. Mmm, feelin the feels.
Crispin Glover is a method actor of old school tradition as well as a performance artist. Dave didn't understand that he basically showed up "in-character" very much in the light of Andy Kaufman before him and actors such as Jim Carrey (MTV Movie Awards, I believe) and others. Unfortunately, the issues he had with Back to the Future 2, and them refusing to cast him in the role because he wanted a pay increase, and then the production team subsequently using a makeup mold of his face and having another actor wear it burned a few bridges. BUT to Crispin's credit, the Screen Actor's Guild made it a rule to never be able to use the likeness of an individual without said individual's explicit consent. The weird interviews in a pre-internet era (at least as we know it today) the eccentric behaviors he projected, and his arguments with the producers and director's of Back to the Future made most industry executives believe he was either A, extremely eccentric and on drugs, or B, extremely opinionated, difficult to work with, and a potential drug addict as well. Crispin's a legend and his moves were deliberate. It's just a shame that Dave, who's usually great at playing along (minus the interviews with Joaquin Phoenix), basically shat on Crispin multiple times. Thing is, for as hard as Dave was being on Crispin, in his awesome way, he was giving it back 10 fold. Dude's a legend.
+Begley's Shizzle Well said. But Glover's argument with the "Back to the Future" franchise is really important, even more important in this age of digital reproduction. What they did with prosthetics is now possible with digital images. The last "Fast and Furious" brings back Paul Walker with his family's blessing, but who knows? Should an actor have rights to her/his image for films? It's a serious issue. Glover is a brilliant actor. Not a bad thing to give use of an actor's image to the actor. What if producers started swapping computer bodies like avatars?
+Begley's Shizzle Whereas you understood it because you read Wikipedia and believed it. The problem with that theory is that Glover always plays the same "character" in every movie in which he appears. Notice how deftly Conan scarcely allows Glover to speak here.
Herbert Wells Or perhaps because I was old enough to be around and watch all of it unfold as it did in real time over the course of the 80s and early 90s. As for Glover's nuances, they are open to interpretation and the eye of the viewer. You're entitled to your opinion, Herbert.
Amazing!!.. This guy has looked exactly the same in almost 30 years!! Great and very much underestimated artist, always kicking ass! 80’s FORLIFE:):):)
This has always been one of my favorite interviews b/c Conan seems really genuine with his interest in Crispin Glover and Crispin seems like a cool guy.
Conan is the only host Crispin can feel comfortable around. It's because he embraces Crispin's weirdness. He doesn't try to dance around it like the other hosts did.
I saw Willard on cable recently. I thought Crispin Glover did a great job playing the character. He added a dark, creepy side that the original actor, Bruce Davidson just didn't. Glover really pulled it off brilliantly.
He reminds me so much of a philosophy professor I had a huge crush on in college... He's great AND funny. The Letterman interviews, however, are SO awkward.
Crispin's movie, "Willard" was a delightfully macabre romp that had the menace of his character thin man from the "Charlie's Angel" movie but with even more emotional depth and complexity. LOVE Crispin Glover's surrealism.
Scott Crichton His infamous interview with Letterman was a publicity stunt for a movie that he was working on, he just never let Letterman in on the bit. Put into context that interview is actually really hilarious in a different way.
Scott Crichton I think a good bit of it is due to Conan's approach, Letterman is a bit more direct/matter-of-fact about things, while Conan is more jokingly and self depreciating which gives his guest more confidence to speak out more.
Scott Crichton that's because Conan filibustered the hell out of this interview, which was the smart move. Plus, Conan is much quirkier and more open-minded, and overall decent
I know this comment is super old, but I was just thinking about how he should be on AHS! He really is extremely underused. And yes super underrated, he's a gem.
Loved him in Jim Jarmusch's Dead Man starring Johnny Depp. Crispin has a cameo as a coal tender on a locomotive, and gives what appears to be an exhausted, rambling soliloquy, but is actually a foreshadowing of Depp's characters' journey.
I'm not very familiar with Crispin, but comparing this interview with Letterman's, I feel like to he was purposely acting very strange (uncontrollably laughing) in Letterman's interview, and seemed authentically odd. But here, he's a completely different person, in contrast very well spoken. He must just be a great actor, and sometimes want he's audience to question his sanity.

The perfect Willard, as I can somewhat relate. My sister watched it with me after I already had. We were both in our mid 30s, and she actually screamed when the elevator door opened-- one of the most terrifying images ever on screen.
This was a good interview! I'm glad Crispin used to troll Letterman every time he was on his show because he was a pompous douche and Crispin knew it! Conan in my opinion is a better interviewer than Letterman for sure! It also cracks me up how SO many people in the comments for Letterman's interview, think that Crispin is being himself! Lol! He's an actor! Smh!
That's what makes Crispin a man. He is delighted to wear these good looking suits everytime he gets interviewed and he doesn't get tired of wearing them.
Crispin is a good dude. Not only incredibly talented but extremely humble. He deserves more leading roles, but I get the feeling he likes playing secondary characters. I honestly don't want to see a Batman movie with the riddler unless Crispin is the guy.
I always wanted to see this movie but couldnt remember the name of it. Saw the previews in movie theatres when I was young and it scared the shit out of me. He was perfect for this role.
I love Conan. Everyone else treats Crispin like a bad joke, but Conan just treats him like a fellow weird human.
You should see the Johnny Carson interview on The Tonight show with him. Johnny makes him feel comfortable and treats him with respect as well
I absolutely love his hair, its slicked back so severely, the part is so concise, and the dark color really suits him.
He has a 1920s/1930s since of style. It's nice.
I thought because the character in the movie has it parted
Conan is so funny, he carries the conversation and makes him feel comfortable. You can see a difference in him here than in other interviews.
I thought the same thing!!!
Conan also just obviously respects him and isn't there to make fun of him.
He probably demanded they don't talk about back to the future, so it was like a challenge for Conan
He’s definitely intentionally carrying the interview. It’s either because he’s afraid Crispin will be too weird and awkward or Crispin was nervous and told him to. Probably the former.
@@a5dr3 I agree--seemed like Conan was determined to keep total control of the situation. The result was that Crispin hardly got a word in edgewise except for the weird eye display thing.
Crispin : gives coherent answers to Conans questions
Letterman : " What the hell, man ?!?!? "
He's an icon to nerds and weirdos everywhere.

Good....now go get yer shinebox!!

i've always liked his hair styles.
This was a good interview! I'm glad Crispin used to troll Letterman every time he was on his show because he was a pompous douche and Crispin knew it! Conan in my opinion is a better interviewer than Letterman for sure! It also cracks me up how SO many people in the comments for Letterman's interview, think that Crispin is being himself! Lol! He's an actor! Smh!
I'm George George Mcfly, I'm your density, I mean... your destiny
That's what makes Crispin a man. He is delighted to wear these good looking suits everytime he gets interviewed and he doesn't get tired of wearing them.
absolutely! i love them both. :)
Crispin is a good dude. Not only incredibly talented but extremely humble. He deserves more leading roles, but I get the feeling he likes playing secondary characters.
I honestly don't want to see a Batman movie with the riddler unless Crispin is the guy.
We have gone through 4 Batman movies since that comment.
The world wasted a great opportunity
Never even crossed my mind but you're so right.
I love him ❤️
I always wanted to see this movie but couldnt remember the name of it. Saw the previews in movie theatres when I was young and it scared the shit out of me. He was perfect for this role.
Crispin Wonderful Actor!!!
So underrated, it's unbelievable ...
The band played Aladdin Sane. Haha.
He would have made a brilliant Joker
I've been saying this for years
