Crispin Glover talks Joker

[TerrySilverOil]

Crispin Cloer would be exelent Joker, but we never see Batman film where Clover is.

[Bjorkadmirer]

Is that the Willard rat guy? Listening to him talk for a long time kind of makes me want to jump out of a window.

[jaddajn1]

he should have been jesus in 'the passion of the christ'

[BPL1980]

Whoever decided on the 'musical bed' under this interview needs to be shot.

[ultamatefrogmaster]

The vegetarian fact was a bit random...

[Bjorkadmirer]

@ultamatefrogmaster Who has diabetes?

[ultamatefrogmaster]

@Bjorkadmirer Diabetes? I don't know.

[agoon88]

he could be a great joker his look is perfect

[FroggyMasterMajora]

He'd Be A Fantastic Riddler

[HotBroodish]

I could never use the word "auteur" in an interview.. I'd over-think it and accidentally say "artard"

[fangsteen]

I

met him in olympia wa. he was so funny

& sweet, a perfect gentleman!'

[Morphindel]

what a nice guy

[Mintcar923]

I believe he's a very underrated actor. I never did think of him playing as the Joker. But, now that I think of it he'd have been the perfect choice. Heath Ledger and especially Jack Nicholson did just fine, though...

[MrsKittykatt009]

omg....i hope he didnt cut off his lovely hair....

[Paganguy1]

I love Crispin, but Heath was the Best Joker Ever, in my opinion, (although, I would love to see Crispin's take on it... that would be fun....)

[McNabbulous]

@Paganguy1 actually, i think he would be good as the Riddler.

[Paganguy1]

@McNabbulous

Very interesting!

[Cyricc]

@McNabbulous I thought the exact same thing.

[Jammsbro1]

He's smart enough to realise that for a couple of Angels films (which were great popcorn btw) he can fund films that his heart is close to. This garners my respect. I like the man.

[MrCrazyguy145]

Thumbs up if you think that Crispin would actually out do Heath in being the Joker.

[jconnor117]

He just passed up the role of a lifetime in fact it cost a life to make it

[hcvang]

@jconnor117 eh??

[jconnor117]

@hcvang what I meant by that was Heath lost his life after the Joker so in a since it took the cost of a life to make greatness.

[jdmdrift]

@jconnor117 I dont think he passed it up, I dont think he had the qualifications for it. thats not to say hes not a good enough actor, just that he said he needed to have a major role in a box office hit which I dont think he has other then back to the future, of which it was not a starring role.

[jconnor117]

@jdmdrift Joker in Dark Knight was a major role.

[jdmdrift]

@jconnor117 I agree, but he was not qualified to get the part of the joker because he has never had a leading role in a box office hit.

[jconnor117]

@jdmdrift Since when do you need a leading role to play a supporting character?

[jdmdrift]

@jconnor117 dude, why are you asking me? Im just repeating what he says in the video.

" I would have had to have had a fairly major roll in a large box office movie to be truly considered for the part"

[moeezS]

@jconnor117 Crispin Glover said he knows the reality of how major studio film choices go. I'd trust him more than your rhetorical question.

[knightflyte]

@jconnor117 It's called, "BANKABILITY." Though Crispen's been around for a long while he's not a box office draw like Nickleson or Ledger. Both those names have a certain ability to garner money for the studios. Ledger just came off of his success in Brokeback Mountain.

Crispen? Other than a milquetoast Back to the Future character, he doesn't have the same draw and thus is a bigger risk for studios. Plus he'd had a few strange run ins on late night tv that hurt his reputation.

I like him, tho

[InBetweenAreDoors]

@knightflyte You watched this video, and you still don't know how to spell his name?

[knightflyte]

@InBetweenAreDoors That matters how? You know who I was talking about. I messed up a vowel or too. So what.

[CrossoverBeast]

It's Willard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[theHoustonStrangler]

if they did a Kurt Cobain movie where he doesnt die and lives to be older, Glover could do an older Kurt

[gaiadove]

I wish he did play the Joker.

[a1nall]

@gaiadove He definately would have looked scarier I think than Ledger, even though I feel bad that the guy passed away.

[weownyoursoul]

Why is there a fucking hip-hop beat under this interview?

[TheTallMan35]

@weownyoursoul Hip Hop is everywhere. We can't escape it.

[Nhia89]

@weownyoursoul they're trying to beat "hip" and "cool" with the kids these days

[santanaincubus]

@weownyoursoul LMAO. Crispin suggested it. lol.

[bosman1988]

@weownyoursoul Cuz Crispin's gonna bust on the mic

[terepotere]

@weownyoursoul So you can rap while you watch.

[One1egendary]

@weownyoursoul  be tolerant

[quidseeker]

@weownyoursoul Because this shit is straight street nigga.

[Bjorkadmirer]

@weownyoursoul Seriously! Haha!

[TheKPiech]

listen to miles away by kaz piech

[DuDezInBoredom]

"give me a milk..chocolate"

[SidePassenger]

@DuDezInBoredom You made me cry from laughter :D

[DuDezInBoredom]

@SidePassenger haha its what i do XD

[dilcofilms]

I still hope he plays the Riddler, hopefully Nolan won't pick somebody that's in his 20's or 30's for the role, Nolan seriously needs to stop picking young people for the roles of awesome villains. I can not see Joseph Gordon-Levitt as the Riddler, I could see Depp but he's so obvious for the choice.

[RobbyArt]

That's the music from 3rd Rock. Isn't that copyrighted???

[stigler30]

@RobbyArt Fuck copyright. Its high time that copyright dies.

[andrika1990]

i really love him. He's such an eccentric and polite actor.

[hilandhall]

lose the pop-up video sound effects. distracting.

[Rosemarythawanrat]

Oh love him :D

[Catalyst8D]

that noise those little pop ups make is seriously annoying.

[23cornchip]

Crisply should be in the next movie if they put the joker I. It. IMO...

[PhillyBlunt6988]

Obviously Heath Ledger was a fucking awesome Joker, but Crispin would've done a good job of it as well I'm sure.

[Vidhole]

i see him more as the riddler

[warriorofwrestling]

@Vidhole Yeah he'd be great in the role, that's good casting :D

[dilcofilms]

If I had to choose Glover or Ledger as the Riddler I would go with Crispin because Ledger was too of a pretty boy and Crispin's built better then Ledger as the Joker.

[Rehtomflow]

@dilcofilms Hm, yes, that's probably why you are not in the casting business lol

[TheGreenPlague]

@Rehtomflow I went to a film school, and I've worked on multiple projects. All that you need to be in the "casting" business, is a stick up your ass and a conceited point of view about everything. It also helps if you're female and consistantly menstrating.

[ProphetGuardian]

Well if there's a replacement for Keith Ledger's Joker role I'd say Crispin Glover.

[pooh783]

@ProphetGuardian Heath not Keith

[thtjusthappened17]

WTF IS GOING ON @ 2:22

[ProphetGuardian]

@thtjusthappened17 Its a seen from Charlie Angels. He plays creepy thin man were he cuts a lock of hair from each girls hair a smells it before he fights them.

[thomasbaron06]

Willard is my all-time favorite Crispin Glover movie! =D

[stoltobot]

is Danny Glover his Dad?

[TheJacksterman]

@stoltobot Bruce Glover is.

[TheSheepherd]

Wasnt he in Charlies Angels too?

[miracleworker12744]

@TheSheepherd yes.

[joshknightmovies]

would he plz play the riddler

[pigreenk07]

2:22

i'm so hot for crispy

[thomasbaron06]

@pigreenk07 haha, CRISPY! lol XD

[Eclecticsweetie395]

@pigreenk07 :D

[hcvang]

@pigreenk07 what is that from??

[sheena742]

he kinda talks like kurt cobain :)

[Maleknia]

I love his voice! I will also never forget his roles in Back to the Future, The River's Edge, and Alice in Wonderland!

[Neiliooooo]

im guessing the reason why he still looks the same as he gets older is because of his vegetarian diet.

[AgileMJOLNIR]

I will always hear George McFly in his voice no matter how long I live.

[simsdogg92]

@AgileMJOLNIR lol thats how he really talks

[MetallicBill]

This back when I'd just lost my job of 16 years, seems like a year ago! Crispin mentions Minnesota, we have the Coen Brothers from here, and a few movies were shot here, but the tax breaks...and warm weather garner productions interest, and they tend not to favor our State as much

[dvi47]

Jesus those mugs are big

[taniBhandsome]

He could play a good Riddler.

[IDSTARTAREVOLUTION2]

He had my vote for Joker 3 years ago.

[johnedsel]

He is Mr. Farr.

[jaspreetroxable]

is crispin british?

[terryfink]

@jaspreetroxable sounds american to me

[legunncat]

2:22 what film is that from?

[fatkidonabike]

@legunncat Charlie's angels

[legunncat]

@fatkidonabike Thanks.

[flemi104]

@legunncat Charles Angeles 2 Full Throttle

[DragonsSkyRose]

He could work as both the joker and the riddler...maybe more so the riddler the green suit the ? tie black cane with gold ? top and green fedora or bowler with a ? on the front....Yeah

[ReggaesRockers]

my son's fukt.......let the face punching ensue

[powerfullogic]

If he is not in the next Batman I will punch my son in the face.

[fuckgd1]

@powerfullogic oldass geek

[kalimaganeshshivan]

Crispin Glover is actually Danny Glover's mulatto son.

[snezakovic]

@kalimaganeshshivan

he's son of Bruce Glover ,another actor,who played akward roles,guess it runs in the family :)

[kalimaganeshshivan]

@snezakovic I know, I was just being a smartass. I'm actually a big fan of Bruce Glover.

[MetallicBill]

@snezakovic I was a fan of actor John Glover...see him in 52 Pickup (Elmore Leonard book turned film with Roy Schieder and Vanity) I just watched Twister which had me thinking about Crispin. The whole video is on YouTube for viewing...free!

[ronniepage]

veronica belmont from Qore lol

[spedmental]

The riddler indeed.they would be stupid not to cast him as the riddler.the look,the voice,and the persona is spot on.he needs a black costume with grey question marks,a zorro mask,no hat,and a kick ass Caine.that would make the perfect modern riddler.

[spedmental]

He doesn't age!!!!!he was in Friday the 13th part 4 and still looks the same. Corey feldman was just a small kid in that..now feldman looks older than him.he's an awesome underated character actor.i can't belive he was born in 1964.

[stayneknaveofhearts]

I like his hair in this interview. It's better than mine. xD

[GTABTTFMAN]

he will always be George McFly

[Theoxiaus]

@GTABTTFMAN Hey you get your damn hands off her...

[ilovetruffles99]

@GTABTTFMAN I bet he hates that.

[GoodspeedRedux]

Jesus, he looks the same as he did twenty years ago.

[7thsygn]

Look at the picture at 1:51 he looks just like Joker from Killing Joke.

[mellowcide]

He seems like a nice guy=)

[TeenAngst1]

what retard said he was bi for growing his hair long that was the stupidest thing iv ever heard.were the cavemen bi.there came a time when we all had long hair.it doesnt change who u are.a guy is a guy and a girl is a girl.if u think hair has to do with someones sexual orientation then u need help u moron

[BuddyHollysEdselGirl]

I hope he'll never grow his hair out like that again! I like the way that he usually wears it.

[itchyandscratchyland]

He should play the riddler in the next batman

[MchL337]

@CitySkin09@DonnySpielberg - Laura Dern's father is Bruce Dern. Crispin's father is Bruce Glover. Different Bruce's.

[miracleworker12744]

Why does he grow his hair out like that? Do you think he's bi?

[leaderOFlosers]

@miracleworker12744

whats wrong with having long hair? Mine is longer then his.

[cbarrett34]

marty mcfly (michael j. fox) is 3 years older (born 1961) than his dad in the film, crispin glover (born 1964)

[slave2moonlight]

Crispin was always my number one Joker choice. I think he could take over well from Heath, but I also think he would work well for Riddler. But, if he would get Joker, David Tennant could be a great Riddler.

[DonnySpielberg]

I hope Crispin goes to the Back to the Future reunion this November!!!!!!!

[CitySkin09]

Dude looks just like his Father. I can't believe that's Laura Dern's half brother...

[DonnySpielberg]

@CitySkin09 Laura Dern's half brother?? Are you kidding me????

[CitySkin09]

@DonnySpielberg -- Nah, not kidding man. His father Bruce had a child with Laura Dern's Mother Diane Ladd and that kid turned out to be Laura Dern. So half and half. I wish I was joking but it's true.

[travis122imdb]

God please make an inception inside Nolan's mind to cast Glover as the riddler in Batman 3. i dont ask for much.

[PrimericanIdol]

Put round sunglasses on him and a goatee, and he's geddy Lee.

[ZeroTheStichPunk960]

am i the only one who just wants to go up to him and give him a big ol hug owo?

[thegreatreverendx]

@ZeroTheStichPunk960 Yes.

[kieran514]

@DopeMcDoperson thank you!

[mjpunk1234]

no respect for Ledger? thats just low.

[travis122imdb]

Glover is the perfect for the riddler. he will slow the movie down and make batman /alfred strain to figure things out. the dark knight was *the action movie*

.Nolan must make batman 3 *the mystery movie*.

more cerebral, slower pacing, another genre.

[francys9]

@travis122imdb Excellent comment.I'd prefer the dramatic side of Robin Williams for the Riddler,but you've made an excellent comment.

[ItsTheFur]

A fairly major role i a box office movie?? Back To The Future didnt ring a bell at all?

[The4thGuy]

@ItsTheFur I know, right?

[lurkula]

I can smell the douchiness from here. 

[sagat1916120]

he looks exactly like mark hamills joker from the animated series.

[JohnPrince80]

Ledger really re-energized the Joker but I still say that Crispin Glover would've been perfect as the Joker. I love his character acting!

[JohnnyNny23]

If I were to meet Crispin Glover in real life, it would honestly be the best day of my life.

[lizbotdeluxe]

@JohnnyNny23 I met him during his tour three years ago and it really, really was the best day of my life. He's absolutely captivating.

[newkhameleon]

@JohnnyNny23 i'd ask him: why did you leave BTTF?

[boyscoutonacid]

@newkhameleon

Because they fucked him over.

[Redpath9]

Glover would be good as the Riddler, but they need to put Hush in there.

[Creeper234]

He looks pretty much exactly like the classic Joker design (which is my favorite). Gaunt face, crooked nose... and he's able to look like an absolute lunatic when he grins.

[felixlinquist]

Glover is way more grounded and together than he was on the Lettermen show in 1987.

[momo2chlo]

this dude is very odd which makes him very hot. such an intriging man. so intellegent which in turn leads to his eccentric nature. love him. want him.

[satcgal45]

He's hot. He did a great job as the Knave of Hearts, but his voicein the movie sounded....odd lol He looked sexy...his voice sounded....weird haha

[joydivsion77]

You're right, he does look like Cobain! The ironic thing is Kurt died at 27 and Crispin is at least 40...

[madmaxit2]

If they ever did a movie about Kurt Cobain he would be perfect casting!

[konerak9]

@madmaxit2 uhhhhhh no as much as I love Crispin no one can play Kurt! NO ONE!

[213USA]

This guy never ages !!!!!

He would have been a good joker

[fdation]

hes so boring to listen to...he makes you feel like blahhhhhhhhhh..but i like his movies his interviews...no

[ajkl27]

He is just precious <3

[PappyHab]

Its not the same, seeing him interviewed when he is all serious and stuff. I love the energy that he gives off when he is smiling and laughing, its amazing.

[markoftheking777]

Hello McFly!!! Anybody home? Think, McFly, think!

[untroubled]

He looks a bit like Steven Wilson in this interview(Porcupine Tree). :)

[BARCACROSSESTHEALPS]

his dad was pretty good actor, too.

[hoilace]

Oh Crispin

So cute but so dry.

[lovingtimburton]

He'd be amazing as the Riddler. :)

I adore his hair.... xD Had to add that.

[ajkl27]

My god.... he would!

I never even thought of that before =)

[scruffygangsta]

@GeorgeDeG i agree

[Raku]

Those are some big -ahem- mugs!

[mmcgill0415]

Man he looks like his dad. I was just watching 007 Diamonds Are Forever. His dad was in that.

[KnowThyself24]

this guy can make a phenominal joker

[EventuallyWeMerge]

Holy shit, dude at 0:35 seconds looks like Gary Oldman in The Dark Knight, but obviously Gary Oldman is skinnier and better looking.

[selty]

Definitely Creeper. He would shine as him.

[BrownEyezz217]

you know what..it was a surprise, i was thinking he would play the joker good.i hope he gets it..he needs to be known for his good acting

[kodyrct2]

@BrownEyezz217 i agree he has that nose

[kodyrct2]

i think he would be a good mr tombie from the langoliers
