Crispin Glover has a reputation for being a little, shall we say, odd. Most people know him for his role in the 80s classic Back to the Future in the role of George McFly, but since then, Glover has shown a penchant for playing eccentrics and oddballs. He portrayed Andy Warhol in Oliver Stone’s ‘The Doors,’ the reclusive rat-lover Willard Stiles in the 2003 remake of ‘Willard’ and the mysterious “Thin Man” in the movie adaptation of ‘Charlie’s Angels.’

Something he is less known for are his films. His directorial debut was 2005’s ‘What Is It?’ featuring a cast of actors with Down syndrome. His second film ‘It Is Fine! Everything Is Fine!’ was written by actor-writer Steven C. Stewart who suffers from cerebral palsy and is a psycho-sexual re-telling of Stewart’s life from his point of view. Stewart also appeared in ‘What Is It?’ and died in 2001, just one month after principal filming for his film wrapped up. ‘What Is It?’ and ‘It Is Fine’ are the first two films in the “It” trilogy. The third film will be entitled ‘It Is Mine.’
