The unusual name Glover Jr. received thanks to his parents' favorite work - William Shakespeare's play "Henry V": on St. Crispin's Day, the King of England led people to the Battle of Agincourt. In that historic battle of the Hundred Years War, the British were significantly inferior to the opposing French, and Henry V, for the glory of Saints Crispin and his brother Kripinian, urged the army to remember the great victories. This monologue in literature was called "The Speech of St. Crispin's Day."

The second name of Bruce Glover, the father of the future actor - Herbert. He did not like the German origin of the name, so he came up with another - Hellion. Crispin inherited it, too. When the boy was 5 years old, the family moved to Los Angeles, California. Glover spent his childhood here. From 1st to 9th grade, he attended Mirman School, and in 10th and 11th grades at Venice High School. In 1982 he graduated from Beverly Hills High School.

Life in the "forge" of movie stars has left a significant imprint on the biography of Crispin Glover - already at the age of 13 the boy was in front of the cameras. He began the hereditary actor with sitcoms "Happy Days" and "Family Ties." In 1983 he made his debut in the big film - sex comedy "My Mentor". This was followed by "Teachers" and "Friday, the 13th: The Last Chapter," a short film from Trent Harris's Beaver Trilogy. Crispin played a teenager obsessed with the work of Olivia Newton-John, an Australian singer.

Glover found popularity in his youth - the American was 21 years old, when the blockbuster "Back to the Future" (1985) was released. He played george McFly, Marty McFly's father, who travels back in time with scholar Emmett Brown. It is noteworthy that in the life of Crispin 3 years younger than the "movie" Michael J. Fox.

Glover requested a double fee for filming in the second part of Back to the Future, and the producers refused. The 1989 film included footage recorded during the filming of the first part. The actor's credits include: "George McFly in Back to the Future." At the same time, the "real" Crispin Glover "diluted" the image of the made-up Jeffrey Weissman.

Crispin sued the producers for using his face without permission (thanks to an overhead nose, cheekbones and chin Weisman became Glover's twin brother) and did not pay to reuse the material from the first part of Back to the Future. After this trial, the U.S. Screen Actors Guild signed a clause prohibiting makeup under other media personalities.

Crispin Glover liked eccentric characters: the artist Andy Warhol from the biographical film "The Doors" (1991), an employee of the office of "dead letters" from "Bartleby" (2001), talking to rats man from the horror "Willard" (2003).

Another surge in popularity american brought the role of Skinny, the enemy of superagents of the angels Charlie from the eponymous dilogy of 2000 and 2003. Initially, the character had replicas, but Glover thought that Skinny is unique and without a voice. Thus, all lines were excluded from the script.

Glover shared the set of the sci-fi drama Beowulf (2007) with Anthony Hopkins, Angelina Jolie and John Malkovich, playing the monster Grendel. The actor's face does not appear in the film: motion capture technology was used to depict the monster. The filming of "Beowulf" was directed by Robert Semekis, director of Back to the Future.

In the 2010s, Glover's filmography was supplemented by Tim Burton's "Alice in Wonderland" (2010), John Cusack's comedy "The Time Machine in the Jacuzzi" (2010), the action movie "Seven Psychopaths" (2012).

In 2018, Starz aired a fantasy television series, American Gods, based on The Novel of the Same Name by Neil Gaiman. In it, Crispin acted as one of the gods - Mr. Mir.

Hollywood knows not only Glover-actor, but also Glover-director. In 2005, Sundance premiered his debut film, What Is It?" The roles were performed by actors with Down syndrome. The American invested $150,000 in the project. - the proceeds for participation in "Charlie's Angels" and "Willard." The final version of the film took almost a decade to sharpen. What was originally intended as a short film and was filmed for 12 days turned into a full-length film worthy of the praise of film critics.

Script for Glover's second film," "Ok! All is well!" created Stephen S. Stewart, an actor and writer born with severe cerebral palsy. The man spent more than 10 years in a nursing home. The resulting picture is a psychedelic retelling of life from Stewart's point of view. It premiered at the Sundance Festival in 2007.

Glover is not only a good actor, but also a musician. In 1989, he released The Big Problem Does Not Equal the Solution, The Solution Equals Let It Be, which included original songs ("Clowny Clown Clown") and covers. So, Crispin sang "These Boots Are Made for Walkin" by Nancy Sinatra and "I'll Never Say Never to Always" by Charles Manson. There are 16 tracks on the record.

The actor left a mark on the writing arts. His pen owns more than 15 books. Glover does not fully create the story, but complements the already known work. His "Rat Catching" (1988) is based on Henry S. Barkley's "Studies in the Art of Rat Catching" released in 1896, and Oak-Mot (1989) is an interpretation of the 1868 novel of the same name.

Glover's works are born during reading: he leaves notes on the margins of the book, which are then harmoniously woven into the narrative. This method allows you to create a new literary masterpiece: for example, the ending of its version of "Oak-Mot" is significantly different from the original.

Little is known about Crispin Glover's personal life, but these facts are enough to judge his craving for luxury women.

From 2002 to 2003, Crispin dated Alexa Lauren, winner of the title of September 1999 according to the erotic magazine Penthouse. One model was replaced by another - since 2004, the actor's favorite was Russian Marina Druzhko, then the list included actress Courtney Peldon.

From 2007 to 2008, Glover's eye pleased Amber Heard, a partner in the film "Murderous Sexuality" (2005), then fleetingly - models Vanessa Marano and Mindy Lacca, actress Mara Lafontein.

Model Sandra Shelley has been alongside the actor since May 2012. In 2018, the press still replicated their joint photos, including those published in Glover's Instagram account.

Despite his active personal life, Glover did not have a wife or children at his age.

In February 2019, Glover completed filming for the third film, The Untitled Crispin Hellion Glover Project, starring himself and his father Bruce. There is no information about the premiere yet.
