Back to One

A podcast about acting -- just the work. by Peter Rinaldi

“Problem-Solving Is Different as an Actor Than It Is as a Filmmaker” Crispin Glover, Back To One Episode 361

Back To The Future, but for the past three decades he’s been very thoughtful, patient, and selective about his acting roles and even more thoughtful and patient as a true independent filmmaker, self-financing and self-distributing three films — What is it?, It is Fine! Everything is Fine, and his latest, No! You’re Wrong Or: Spooky Action at a Distance. On this episode, which is the first part of a two-part conversation, he talks about a characteristic in certain directors that usually spells trouble for him as an actor, the importance of surrealism in his work, why he became obsessed with The Hero’s Journey and structure in general, his latest role in Tallulah H. Schwab’s film Mr. K, and much more. Glover is at IFC Center in New York City through October 14th at both Mr. K and No! You’re Wrong screenings, the latter will also include his Big Slide Show and book signings. Sign up at CrispinGlover.com for info on his upcoming tour.
