To Crispin's point, as someone who has watched these movies casually I never realized he wasn't the actor in Part 2.

"Hey you, get your damned hands off my likeness!" - George McFly

Can we just take a moment and appreciate that Crispin’s suit game is on point.

[philsarkol]

What a shame to have such a great actor and not being part of the sequel. Crispin did a tremendous job in portraying McFly.

[TheBearGrappler]

Won his lawsuit, but call it what it was: $760, 000 in exchange for being blacklisted by Hollywood

Dude i had no idea that wasn't him!!! They definitely succeeded in making people think he was in the movie

Met Mr. Glover at a party 25 years ago. Super nice guy.

I understand Crispin’s point. Acting is an Art. He’s an artist. Imagine this happening to a singer or a painter!

[Splincir]

This gives me more respect for Crispin here. He stood up for himself and what he believed in despite what he was up against and its effect on his career. It's a bold move most wouldn't make.

It's really too bad they wouldn't just pay the man what he was worth. He was amazing in the first film.

Crispin as George McFly was one of the most interesting part of the movie characters. I always enjoy watching his performance in that movie.

[moonprojections]

When I heard that they reused his face molds, I realized Crispin has had a solid case for decades.

[suburbanwhitedad]

Crispin Glover is one of the most unique actors ever. I love seeing him in movies and wish he would act more.

[RonnieRukusTV]

Not me at 42 years old in 2024, having watched this movie at least 30 times growing up, just now realizing that wasn't Crispin Glover in Part 2 😮😮😮

[localenterprisebroadcastin]

Man of all the cast members he aged the best 😮

[gavinelesban]

I’m embarrassed that I didn’t know they had a different actor in the Sequel.

I’m with Crispin with this one.

[AliceBowie]

As a close, personal acquaintance of Crispin Glover, who's met him at least 3 times between 2005 and 2010, he's the entire reason people own the rights to their own likeness. He was right about Spielberg, too.

[separatetheart]

They did Glover dirty on this one, and then acted like he was crazy to complain

[seanwilks]

I’m with Glover on this one. As a child of the 80’s I always wondered why George McFly was dialed way back and every scene he was in seemed phoned in, it wasn’t until later in my life that I found out Glover wasn’t the one in the makeup.

[LOBOIV]

Glover was correct for suing. It would be no different if someone produced knockoff Back to the future movie and called Return from the future with a somewhat similar storyline.

[ScootsMcPoot]

His lawsuit makes sense. I really didnt realize it wasnt him
