Crispin Glover's Back To The Future Lawsuit That Changed Everything #Shorts

Crispin Glover speaks on his face being used against his will as prosthetics on another actor in Back To The Future 2, and his lawsuit that stopped Robert Zemeckis and anybody else from ever being able to do that again.

Darth Vader came down from Planet Vulcan and told him to sue

[SNKFA]

He was said to be extremely difficult to work with. It was his right to sue though.

[thearchivist]

Two things can be true. He had every right to sue, and he was an SOB to work with.

[GeekyBoutiquey]

His original lawsuit set the groundwork for the rights actors and extras have been fighting for in regards to AI and body scans. Really really glad he did this.

[jordanelza]

I agree with Crispin Glover. He had every reason to sue the company for using his image without his consent. I’m glad his lawsuit made it so nobody can do anything like that again without consent of some kind. It’s unethical and unfair to do that otherwise.

[Daniel-Strain]

In a way, this relates greatly to issues of AI actors, deep fakes, and actors rights today.

Man looks like Aragorn son's of Arathorn the heir of Isildur

Crispin was COMPLETELY ICONIC in the first movie, and it would have been NOWHERE NEAR so good without him😃😃😃😃❤️❤️❤️

So less of the disrespectful comments please....

He’s an interesting person, but I agree it shouldn’t have happened without his consent. Shouldn’t be any rules against making another actor look like him, but definitely not taking an actual impression of his face or splicing in scenes from the first movie.

I always liked Crispin Glover. He’s quirky AF and that really appealed to me! 🤣 But they did some shady stuff to him. His poem to Steven Spielberg was also indicative of much. They derailed this man’s whole career. Still glad to see him interviewed.

This guy was wronged by the creators of BTTF and then slandered by them. I can't imagine the amount of damage they did you his career. Crispin was spectacular in BTTF. His part wasn't the cool part, but his acting was the best in my opinion.

[JP]

With this look he would've fit right into 1885

[rangerscoach]

out I had no idea they did him dirty like that if no agreement can be struck they have to change the actor stealing his face is very messed up

[LeoWhalen]

Peiple should see this before saying Crispin is petty, jealous, etc ... Jodie Foster didn't care when Julianne Moore played clarice in Hannibal. They didnt make moore foster. They made an unknown actor crispin for bttf2 and it fooled me until the i ternet age came about.

The next big battle is happening over AI and digitally showing actors likeness in film. It seems that any production trying to do that would probably fall under the same rules, but it's interesting to see how far we've come in such a short amount of time. You can bet without the Crispin Glover lawsuit this would have totally run amok today with AI.

[JimFreeman-hg]

Shallow as a raindrop, or fathoms deep... This righteous gentleman had eyes to see and ears to hear. No slack in his act. HUMANITY❤

[crossroadschoices]

Agreed. I'm glad he did the lawsuit. That added more to the guild that protects performing artists rights

[Aspectus]

Because of his lawsuit, his career took a dump

[billtooke]

Crispin looks like Christian Bale here

[kristoffersevillena]

He could've been in the second movie but apparently he was notoriously difficult to work with and insisted on doing things his way instead of Zemekis's way.
