@specialfx34 Well no, that's not quite true. A lot of people DO know what he was doing on Letterman - namely that he was "in character" as Rubin Farr, a character from a film called Rubin and Ed that was released in 1991.
As much as Glover likes to play up the "mystery" of it, it seems pretty straight forward to me. In terms of intrigue, it's hardly the Kennedy assassination.

I am really saddened that he is so weird because after "Back to Future" I expected him to be more productive since everyone started to do really well. Sad because I thought he was so good as "George McFly. Sad.. very sad.. Too bad he didn't want to reprise his role - he would have gotten more money instead of suing for his stand in.
If you ask him in a Q&A he'll tell you the whole story A-Z. When an official interviewer or the press asks he tells his line "I neither confirm or deny..." because otherwise you spoil it. And the results? People are still wondering! I asked him last Saturday so now I know everything, it was fantastic, he's the nicest most talkative and honest guy to his fans!
Glover controversially appeared on Late Night with David Letterman on July 28, 1987, to promote the movie River's Edge, in which he starred.[6] Unbeknownst to Letterman and the audience, Glover appeared in character as "Rubin", from a then-unreleased movie Rubin and Ed, wearing platform shoes and a wig. Rather
@SuperSillyface3 dude you must be an idiot. I'm not a particular fan of the guy, but it's obvious he doesn't want to confirm anything because it would ruin the publicity. I mean come on, not very many talk show appearances still have people interested, 20+ YEARS LATER. So who exactly the stupid one here? you or him?
@StonedBenny ok for one didnt say he was stupid as a person just that show was a stupid stunt that he did which was good publicity at the time an still would be since ppl seem to like it. and number 2 take a chill pill I just said he should just come out and admit it was him we all know that it was. number 3 DUDE Im not a dude or stupid by the way and we all have opinions that was mine and its just a comment nothing to get yourself so worked up about.
@StonedBenny And with a name like Stonedbenny im no surprised to see the word dude in you comment. lay of the drugs and maybe you can come up with more creative words other then dude.
Factually, he asked for more money and bene's. He should have gotten them due to the success of BTTF but clearly MJ Fox was the star. Ultimately they used a double and his likeness out of contract from molds they made of his head in the first film. He sued and won which had sweeping regulations on stealing an actors image. I think that the bad blood is why he never shows up at reunions same as Mr. T and the A-Team. He's not as dumb as you think.
@darkslide327 no, that's the funny part, he said there was this guy who looked just like him, and that that day he had 2 interviews, he thinks people would actually believe that it was someone else.
My definition of art is a man-made creation that elicits emotion...any emotion. Glover's performance on the Letterman show was brilliant art because the emotions it elicited differed for each individual, so every person watching it was treated to their very own, personal, experience. Some experienced confusion, some anger, some humor, some smugness....so many different emotions. Brilliant!
Given the PARTIAL explanation in the 1990 interview on Letterman, though it ran too long, we can REALLY assume for fact it was not Crispin but the guy he was talking about, Now, this sounds a lot like the recent interviews (a year apart) of Q. Phoenix (I can't reference his name, but you know, River's brother)
I absolutely admire the "i want it to keep having an air of mystery.." kind of answer he gives about what went on on that letterman interview.. I think it's great, it's the same principle of why magic tricks are cool...
I have seen all his appearances on Letterman - this guy is an idiot - he made lame attempts to be funny and once it backfired and the audience started to boo, he turned sadistic and started hijacking the show.. this guy is a frickin joke..
That's the entire point of this interview and how the realm of mystery is perceived. After seeing several of his interviews, including this one, I finally understand his motives. He is challenging society's "suppositions," playing with our assumptions based on our own perception of the interview and how it is perceived & then portrayed by others. I think out of all the interviews I have seen, six in total, this is the closest one to the true Crispin Glover. I wasn't a fan before, but I am now.
I had no idea he did stuff outside of Back to the Future. i saw the interview and I could tell it was a fun joke, probably the only time i laughed at the oddity of an awkward character. And i liked that he left an air of mystery to that interview, he seemed legitimately interesting guy in an artistic sense
his best performance was in a three episode abstract tv show "hotel room" by David Lynch...
.
He was brilliant in that abstract peace ,you probably couldn't get your hands on it and if you don't like painters like Pollack or Dali there is no ppoint chacking out DavidLynch or someone like Crispin...
.
you would only think what the fuck was that is that even a movie or show ,you just have to be openminded to understand abstract art... so don't bother but for Crispin fans check out "hotel room"
I'm so glad he did this interview. It's great he still leaves that mystery of what led him to act the way he did. Though we'll never know for sure, I do see similarities in the way Joaquin Phoenix acted in his now famous interview with Letterman.
Glover is brilliant- he clearly wasn't trying to kick Letterman in the head or he would have. It was a surrealist piece of performance art and it went over Letterman's head (no pun intended) and causes me to lose respect for Letterman that he didn't "get it" and is still irritated about it years later. Glover looked like an eccentric artist, Letterman looked like a stiff old guy with no intellectual appreciation for eccentric characters.
@edhs95 No...I'm sorry. Glover, by not even hinting to Dave that he was going to do something off the wall, looked like an asshole. Dave knew performance art. One of his favorite guests was Andy Kaufman. So clearly he understood off the wall humor, hell his NBC show was ALL about being weird and off the wall. But Glover didn't do this the right way, made Letterman feel uncomfortable and insulted, and that's wrong. Not creative.
@switchbuckle Yes, unlike Kaufman, Glover didn't have his act down, if he was indeed acting. The "character" he played was too pathetic and demented, unrecognizable to Letterman or to the audience. In this interview, he seems proud that Letterman walked off the show. Well, Letterman did that because Glover assaulted him. Glover's "act" was interesting like a train wreck is interesting.
We know it was him who did it, We're wondering WHY he did it. I thought he looked like he was drug induced, he wasn't. I think he just thought it would be funny and catch the people's interest.
@macroevolve No, Glover and Letterman are both on the same level of severe mental handicap. Glover is not even the least bit creative, he is a big man-baby that tries so hard to make his bellend-like performance turned to art.
@TheClarenceter You're a very closed-minded moron. He's very creative and has proven that on many projects. He has revealed this quite articulately in several discussions on online/TV interviews by explaining the many facets of his artistic vision.
Crispin (for that infamous Letterman interview) was playing a character (named Mr. Farr) that he portrays in his video caled "Clowny Clown Clown" (Look it up). He was not high.
I don't think it was him...you can really tell by the hair and the inflection. I have a friend in shall we say an agency, and he sent everything in for a voice recognition analysis...
if you watch the "Clowny clown clown" video you can see the character "Mr. Far" is dressed exactly like him during the infamous letterman appearance.. so perhaps it was just a character?
When you watch him on his second appearance after his embarrassing moments with Letterman it's obvious he was nervous and embarrassed. He laughed constantly. "I am not going to confirm whether it was me or not..." BS this is his way of trying to avoid his embarrassment. People think he's intelligent. He may have been at a very early age. I would not consider him now, Don't confuse being strange with high intellect.
@kjp3793 Thanks for the reply. I have seen Rivers Edge it was a very interesting movie. Sorry, but I don't see the connection unless we are talking about drug use. If Glover was acting on the first Letterman interview then why was he laughing non stop during his second interview. He's clearly extremely nervous. At best he was under some mind altering drug influence in his first interview. However, not admitting it was him is admitting that he is embarrassed about his conduct as he should be.
@ar3582 i dont know. from watching all of his interviews with letterman and then his other interviews, i would think that he was either tripping just on letterman's or he decided to chill out on all the others. its no big deal. hilarious either way.
@ar3582 or; giving another interview in which he states calmly what actually happened on the letterman show would be giving a definitive answer, and since he wants people to keep wandering if he was high or just acting whenever he's asked about it he deflects in order to not give any hint?
His '87 Letterman appearance was hysterical! I didn't watch it and think "oh geez, this guy is so bizarre" I watched and saw that it was an act, he was performing for the audience and doing an outstanding job. Unfortunately, Letterman was very arrogant and dense and didn't see what was actually going on. Glover pulled off a great act!
Letterman is always in on the joke. He's been letting his guests do stunts like that since Andy Kaufman, and the most recentone he was in on was that shitty Phoenix movie. So Letterman's acting, too.
Anyone who doesn't realize that Crsipin Glover was dressed up as Mr. Far is completely ridiculous. Watch his music video clowny clown clown . The character Mr. Far he briefly mentions is who he dressed up as. Its to be funny. And now he is just perpetuating the mystery by talking in circles. He is using a circular logic and playing. He just shows up everyone funny.

Kind of reminds me of the reaction I got to Tim and Eric when I stumbled onto the website way back in their start-up years. I had no idea what these guys were about, but I loved them and I was hooked.
i think that he was meant to promote rubin and ed. it got confusing and nobody knew about the movie. it wouldnt have been helped that the movie came out years later. its just a mix up. now its a legendary late show appearance. either that or a kauffman gag :) i think crispen glover is great. he makes great insane characters. he would have made an awesome joker. he NAILED willard. i love that movie.
no, he was playing a character. it was all an act in relation to his movie rubin and ed. all an outrageous act that is still held in regards as being a "drug induced interview".
Most of us know Crispin Glover from his role in Back to the Future but he is also an artist. He doesn't do conventional mainstream stuff so it can come across as a bit weird to alot of people. His sense of humour isn't for everyone but for some of us it is really funny and brilliant. His appearance on David Letterman was a bit of funny, sureal performance art. By denying he was on the show he is just continuing with that. Of course it was him. He wasn't really threatening David. It was a joke.
@goodsauce1 He wans't trying to kick him, but it was no act, Glover is VERY ODD, you hear him albums? He won't even say i was joking about it but seems like he's getting old here... Biggest FAKE ACT ON LETTERMAN -- was recently, Joaquin Phoenix saying it was fake and kissing ass,and it was a bad act, and peole beleive that, but not a breakdown from a guy who is in a world you think would be awesome, you have no idea, you know all you are is fake and you can do anything but do something else
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This is just someone who is not living up to his own truth. It is really sad that 20 years after the fact he cannot be honest about his mistake. He needs to get over it and apologize for the appearance. People could be much more appreciative of that then someone who 20 years later is still trying to rationalize away his responsibilities for appearing on David Letterman stoned and threatening the host.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
so basically he was off his head and now he made up a story saying that his look-a-like friend went on show in 1987 instead of him. hes obv full of shit.
@cza1989 : no, it's not a joke per sé, it's a provocation of percieved reality. He says so himself: "It was not supposed to happen". Of course you or me or anyone can see it as a joke.
Illuminati=ET kin aka gods, Annunaki, Ea, dragons, angels/demons, Satan, Pepsi, naga, vampires, bluebloods, Al Gore, Windsors, Rothschilds, Rockefellars etc who rule cults like Freemasonry.

Support Dr Deagle, Stewart Swerdlow, Oracle Broadcasting, gardeners and free-energy technology!
The interviewer won't accept the fact that Crispen isn't going to 'spill the truth' to satisfy our curious minds. After all, when it comes to celebrities and their secret lives, we have a strange fascination with wanting to know them down to the last detail.
This is why I respect Crispen for not directly answering the interviewer's question. He is beating around the bush, but that's how it should be. He's a real person, just like the rest of us.
OMG!!! He is a GREAT actor. You people are simpletons to think he was on drugs. Being a great actor and beinfg eccentric aka, not a follower is awesome. Dumb-ass'
Cripsin is on of my favorite actors, he has never given the expected and it's hilarious because that's one of the things people usually bitch about when they watch a movie.Then there comes Mr Glover hits them with some truely unexpected shit and people react in away that would make you think they're just bitchy hypocrites.

dude just admit it you were tripping balls why get mad about it and make a song about it man up and b real stop faking you need to be who you are other wise what are you doing any thing for any ways whats it worth nothing

So on that last interview he did with Letterman he's about to tell Dave about a kid who used to look identical to him in High School.
On this he is saying that he won't even confirm if that was him on the show or not.
So why is the prevalent rumour that he was playing a character?

it was Rubin Farr. Not Crispin Glover. Why isn't anyone getting that? He's a hell of a doppleganger.

I agree that when an actor comes on and says it was great making the movie, blah blah blah, it is boring and leaves you with nothing.

Crispin (for that infamous Letterman interview) was playing a character (named Mr. Farr) that he portrays in his video caled "Clowny Clown Clown" (Look it up). He was not high.

I don't think it was him...you can really tell by the hair and the inflection. I have a friend in shall we say an agency, and he sent everything in for a voice recognition analysis...

if you watch the "Clowny clown clown" video you can see the character "Mr. Far" is dressed exactly like him during the infamous letterman appearance.. so perhaps it was just a character?

When you watch him on his second appearance after his embarrassing moments with Letterman it's obvious he was nervous and embarrassed. He laughed constantly. "I am not going to confirm whether it was me or not..." BS this is his way of trying to avoid his embarrassment. People think he's intelligent. He may have been at a very early age. I would not consider him now, Don't confuse being strange with high intellect.

kjp3793 1 year ago 2
@kjp3793 Thanks for the reply. I have seen Rivers Edge it was a very interesting movie. Sorry, but I don't see the connection unless we are talking about drug use. If Glover was acting on the first Letterman interview then why was he laughing non stop during his second interview. He's clearly extremely nervous. At best he was under some mind altering drug influence in his first interview. However, not admitting it was him is admitting that he is embarrassed about his conduct as he should be.
ar3582 1 year ago
@ar3582 i dont know. from watching all of his interviews with letterman and then his other interviews, i would think that he was either tripping just on letterman's or he decided to chill out on all the others. its no big deal. hilarious either way.
kjp3793 1 year ago
@ar3582 or; giving another interview in which he states calmly what actually happened on the letterman show would be giving a definitive answer, and since he wants people to keep wandering if he was high or just acting whenever he's asked about it he deflects in order to not give any hint?

His '87 Letterman appearance was hysterical! I didn't watch it and think "oh geez, this guy is so bizarre" I watched and saw that it was an act, he was performing for the audience and doing an outstanding job. Unfortunately, Letterman was very arrogant and dense and didn't see what was actually going on. Glover pulled off a great act!
It was absolutely classic! Very well done!

Letterman is always in on the joke. He's been letting his guests do stunts like that since Andy Kaufman, and the most recentone he was in on was that shitty Phoenix movie. So Letterman's acting, too.

Anyone who doesn't realize that Crsipin Glover was dressed up as Mr. Far is completely ridiculous. Watch his music video clowny clown clown . The character Mr. Far he briefly mentions is who he dressed up as. Its to be funny. And now he is just perpetuating the mystery by talking in circles. He is using a circular logic and playing. He just shows up everyone funny.

i think that he was meant to promote rubin and ed. it got confusing and nobody knew about the movie. it wouldnt have been helped that the movie came out years later. its just a mix up. now its a legendary late show appearance. either that or a kauffman gag :) i think crispen glover is great. he makes great insane characters. he would have made an awesome joker. he NAILED willard. i love that movie.

Most of us know Crispin Glover from his role in Back to the Future but he is also an artist. He doesn't do conventional mainstream stuff so it can come across as a bit weird to alot of people. His sense of humour isn't for everyone but for some of us it is really funny and brilliant. His appearance on David Letterman was a bit of funny, sureal performance art. By denying he was on the show he is just continuing with that. Of course it was him. He wasn't really threatening David. It was a joke.

This is just someone who is not living up to his own truth. It is really sad that 20 years after the fact he cannot be honest about his mistake. He needs to get over it and apologize for the appearance. People could be much more appreciative of that then someone who 20 years later is still trying to rationalize away his responsibilities for appearing on David Letterman stoned and threatening the host.

The interviewer won't accept the fact that Crispen isn't going to 'spill the truth' to satisfy our curious minds. After all, when it comes to celebrities and their secret lives, we have a strange fascination with wanting to know them down to the last detail.
This is why I respect Crispen for not directly answering the interviewer's question. He is beating around the bush, but that's how it should be. He's a real person, just like the rest of us.
Even if he was on acid, WHO CARES!
