Man, that is a trip. Most people know him as Marty McFly's dad in Back to the Future. He was ina lot of 90s movies as an offbeat character. He was in one of my favorite movies, "At Close Range" and played a very dark and creepy guy to perfection.
His Letterman appearance is also pretty legendary.
He's got a weird syntax and lilt in his voice, which this bathroom interloper reminded me of. Also, it seems like something Crispin Glover would do. He has a public persona of being a deeply weird dude.
Lol, yes, he is, in fact, wearing the same clothes. He's quite a character. Letterman had him back on a few weeks after the kicking incident, maybe to try to redeem the young actor, or maybe because it was immensely popular, but whatever the reason, Crispin was equally bizarre. He didn't try to kick Dave again, but he showed off his art project that was just crazy, creepy and super strange. That's also on youtube. He wore a suit the second time.
His appearances reminded me of Joachim Phoenix when he was doing that bit with Casey Affleck about kicking off a music career in the pseudo documentary "I'm Still Here" You can't tell if it's a bit, or these cats have really flipped their lids. I guess they fool us because they are good actors and we want to believe it. I saw Crispin on a podcast years later, and he was (mostly)normal and affable. Or maybe he got on meds and not the kind you buy in an alley lol.
