        I forgot about that one because he was even creepier in Hot Tub Time Machine and it overwrote the memory of him in Charlie’s Angels.

    I was wondering how he was affording to live in LA – but after checking his IMDB – damn, he’s been chugging along on work.

    For some reason I thought he was blacklisted after they kind of did the lookalike thing in Back To The Future 2 or 3.

      That was a landmark case for Hollywood and changed how things are handled with regards to an actor’s likeness being used in films to which they are not attached. AFAIK, Glover got something in compensation, but it was a settlement out of court (= not public record).

      Yeah he did that movie where all the actors had Down’s syndrome. It was actually pretty decent.

      I saw him in Mr.K recently.

      It took me a good while to figure out where I knew him from.

    Has to suck to have been consistently working for decades and still being known almost entirely for a supporting role you did 40 years ago. Dude even got recast for the sequel.

    I’m not trying to tie that to the battery charge or trying to excuse him for that, just kind of a rough go for Crispin’s acting career.
