CRISPIN GLOVER ('Thin Man')
Is it fun to be the bad guy?
Well it's funny because on this film my character's still the same character, but I think the point of view about what the character's doing changes a bit. I haven't seen it yet but that's what I believe is happening.
How important is it for girls to see strong female characters like the Angels?
It seems like girls are drawn to it, there's no question about it. I guess there's a certain amount of having the catharsis with one's own sex. It seems like it's probably helpful.
You spent a lot of time in indie films. Is it fun to do the large studio work?
I've actually in the past couple of years found good, artistic experiences doing big studio films. "Willard" and these films, I've enjoyed working with the people and I've liked the roles. "Willard" was one of the best roles I've had and that was a New Line studio film. It was an artistic pleasure for me.
Do you find it a dramatically different scene to be engaged in this sort of production?
No, there's just more money behind it and consequently they put more behind the promotion. This film made a lot of money so obviously there are more people here [at the premiere] - and that's good. I don't have anything against commerce if there's something interesting.
Do you still spend a lot of time around fans that recognize you as George McFly?
That certainly happens, except for people generally recognize me more as Crispin Glover now. Years ago, right after that film came out, there was a lot of that but that's minimal. Mostly people recognize me for a lot of different things, which is good.
