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.

I wanted to hear about boy scout camp on Catalina Island. Shut up Peter Travers and let the man talk.

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

Crispin is perfection

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.

What is it with interviewers and their need to constantly interrupt Crispin Glover? He's more interesting than you; shut up!

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.

@tracyvanity...Mine too. He is just so mysterious and unique.

Does this man ever age?!

[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

[IheartSweeneyT]

STOP SAYING "RIGHT"!

[seafoamcake]

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

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