Almost 40 years later Back to the future first theatrical release, Michael J. Fox revealed a heartfelt gesture for one of his most memorable co-stars, Crispin Glover.
In his memoirs Future boyFox shared that upon rewatching the 1985 classic, he was struck by Glover’s eccentric yet brilliant performance as George McFly.
The actor admits he never told Glover how much he admired him during filming, so he decided to write him a letter decades later.
Fox praised him and called him “phenomenal in the role.”
“Your performance is richer and deeper every time I see it. In fact, I skip my parts to watch yours. Granted, we didn’t talk much during filming, so I never got the chance to say what a brilliant actor you are, and I was thrilled to work with you,” his tribute to the actor revealed in the letter.
Glover did not reprise his role for the sequels Back to the Future II And Back to the Future III.
Pale Rider star Jeffrey Weissman replaced him to play George McFly.
