Hollywood star Michael J. Fox recently expressed his gratitude towards actor Crispin Glover, praising him as a “brilliant actor.” This acknowledgment came 40 years after their collaboration on the film Back to the Future. In his book, Future Boy, Fox wrote a letter to Glover appreciating his exceptional portrayal of George McFly, highlighting the depth and richness of his performance.
Fox’s admiration for Glover grew as he revisited Back to the Future while working on his memoir. Despite limited interaction during filming, Fox conveyed his admiration for Glover’s talent, stating that he often rewatches scenes featuring Glover’s character. The two actors had previously worked together on a sitcom episode in 1984, where Glover’s comedic timing and natural talent left a lasting impression on Fox.
Reflecting on Glover’s acting style, Fox noted his ability to deliver lines effortlessly without seeking audience approval. He praised Glover’s consistent comedic brilliance and highlighted his exceptional performance in Back to the Future. While the film featured established actors like Christopher Lloyd, Glover’s absence from the sequels was reportedly due to creative divergences, leaving a notable impact on the franchise.
