Birthdate

Glover's birthdate has been flucuating in this entry between April 20, 1964 and September 20, 1964. I have found both dates mentioned in different Internet sites. For instance, The Crispin Glover Encyclopedia mentions September 20 and so does AllMovie.com. Whereas, imdb.com states that April 20, 1964 is the actor's Birthday. I think this needs to be resolved. Anyone know the real date? User:169.156.3.198 20:26, 19 November 2005

Glover states that his birthday is April 20th, 1964 in the retroCRUSH interview cited by the article. 143.127.3.10 19:02, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

My name is Crispin Glover. I have been trying to correct this for many years. My real birth date and time is published on my web site CrispinGlover.com under the FAQ section. My birthdate is April 20 1964 6.22 AM Lenox Hill Hospital NYC NY. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Innocenceisgolden (talk • contribs) 22:18, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

Correction

According to imdb.com, "Rubin and Ed" came out four years after Glover's appearance on David Letterman. There's a possibility that his little routine on David Letterman influenced his performance in "Rubin and Ed", but he was promoting "River's Edge" at the time. I'd rather not be the person to correct this mistake, as it'd require more thought than I'm willing to expend for the sake of the entry. Please, though, someone else fix it.

Well, considering Orkly Kid was filmed sometime around 1986, but wasn't actually released until 2001 (as part of The Beaver Trilogy), the fact that Rubin and Ed didn't find distribution until 4 years after it was filmed wouldn't shock me. I don't know the specifics, but I have seen Rubin and Ed and the clip of his appearance on Letterman, and there's no doubt to my mind that he was performing as Rubin. 63.249.109.224 08:27, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

There is no listing on IMBD that the movie "Rubin and Ed" was filmed in 1987. So it seems unlikely he was in character for the movie four years before it was filmed. I am changing the entry accordingly; feel free to change it back if there is some evidence to the contrary. patrickw 16:04, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Re: "I have seen Rubin and Ed and the clip of his appearance on Letterman, and there's no doubt to my mind that he was performing as Rubin.":

Does it occur to you that when he appeared in Ruben and Ed he may have been "performing as" Cristan Glover? (I haven't seen Ruben and Ed, but I did see the Letterman appearance--the actual appearance not "the clip"--and he seemed to me essentially the same as he did in Back to the Future. It's my impression that directors usually hire him to play himself.) TheScotch (talk) 19:42, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

The Orkly Kid was shot through the AFI in 1983. Thank you! Crispin Glover — Preceding unsigned comment added by Innocenceisgolden (talk • contribs) 22:19, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

Famous Relative

The article doesnt mention if he is related to Danny Glover. MS, Dania Fl 206.192.35.125 (talk) 13:08, 9 July 2013 (UTC)

All humans share common ancestry. If you go back far enough, we're all related. However, the two Mr. Glovers are of visibly different ethnicities; as such I consider it unlikely that their common ancestry is within the past 100 years or so. DS (talk) 22:16, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
