This reclusive actor who starred in a legendary 80s movie was spotted on a rare public outing in Los Angeles recently.
The 61-year-old was seen wearing all-black clothing during his outing, hiding his identity with dark sunglasses and a bucket hat—four decades after his iconic performance in Back To The Future.
The character actor was worlds away from Hollywood as he was snapped visiting a local garden center on his low-key bike ride.
His film roles also include turns in What’s Eating Gilbert Grape?, Hot Tub Time Machine and Wild At Heart

This reclusive Back to the Future star was spotted on a rare public outing in Los Angeles with his bicycle on Sunday – can you guess who he is?
The 61-year-old chose an all-black outfit for his appearance, masking his identity with dark sunglasses and a bucket hat—40 years after his memorable role alongside Michael J. Fox.
It’s Crispin Glover! The 6ft1 star’s breakout role was as Michael J. Fox’s onscreen awkward father George McFly in Robert Zemeckis’ 1985 cinematic classic Back to the Future, which amassed $388.8M at the box office.
Crispin hated the ending when the McFlys became rich and after he turned down writer-producer Bob Gale’s $125K offer to reprise his role in Part II, he was replaced with stand-in Jeffrey Weissman wearing a prosthetic mask of his face.
Glover sued over the use of his likeness without permission and reportedly scored a $760K settlement, which inspired the Screen Actors Guild to put rules in place preventing the use of AI and prosthetics to recreate an absent actor.
Younger generations might better remember the Big Slide Show star’s silent role as henchman The Thin Man in McG’s 2000 big-screen remake of the TV show Charlie’s Angels and its 2003 sequel Full Throttle.
Crispin memorably appeared in Tim Hunter’s 1987 crime drama River’s Edge, David Lynch’s surrealist 1990 drama Wild at Heart, Miloš Forman’s 1996 patriot comedy The People vs. Larry Flynt, and Oliver Stone’s 1991 drama The Doors.
Glover appeared in What’s Eating Gilbert Grape, Alice in Wonderland, Hot Tub Time Machine, Willard, and he took on his first small-screen role in Starz fantasy American Gods from 2017-2021.
In 2005, the 15-time published author stepped behind the camera to direct What Is It? and the 2007 sequel It Is Fine! Everything Is Fine, two surreal films populated entirely by actors with Down’s Syndrome.
Audiences can next catch Crispin as the disturbing Tommy Taffy in David Michaels’ sci-fi horror thriller The Third Parent – hitting US theaters October 31 – alongside Rob Lowe and Roselyn Sanchez.

Crispin proved it was all for performance art when he reprised the same erratic ‘character’ called Rubin Farr in Trent Harris’ 1991 buddy comedy Rubin & Ed.
Glover is a life-long bachelor who’s never had children, and he only ever publicly dated Penthouse model Alexa Lauren from 2001-2003.
