Hollywood- Crispin Glover didn't do the sequel to Back to the Future but most people think he did. For the first time on the record, he says he hopes to clarify his non-involvement in the popular time travel triology starring Michael J. Fox in the 1980's which just came out in a DVD set.

"I'm proud of having been in that first film," Glover tells Zap2it.com, "I don't have regrets about not doing the sequels. What's unfortunate is that what happened subsequently, and I do like to clarify what happened, is that they put another actor [Jeffrey Weissman] in prosthetics."

Glover says, "They put a false nose, chin and cheekbones and a wig on to make him look like me and then he did an impression of me specifically. They inter-spliced that with some footage from me from the first film. The majority of that is this other actor. It was craftily put together and it does fool a lot of people."

Even his close friends think that he did the sequel, too. "Cinefile people know more, but a lot of people are fooled and I don't like that," Glover explains.  "I was involved in a lawsuit and now there are rules in the Screen Actors Guild to make it so that's not possible for that to happen again, because it really is wrong for that to have happened."

Glover was one of the first actors signed for the film, where he played the father of Marty McFly, and he worked with red-headed Eric Stoltz, who was replaced with Fox.

"I think Lea Thompson had been cast and I was the second person cast after her. And I did all of the screen tests with all the people that went up for the role, for Marty McFly," Glover recalls. "I could tell that there was a way that they were going for the character, kind of light comedy. I don't know exactly how to describe it. There was a certain type of people they were bringing in and Eric Stoltz came in and the scenes were playing better when he was playing it, but it wasn't quite as light or comic. But he was a better actor than the other people that were coming in. What happened was there were probably personal aesthetic contradictions going on at the time with the director. But, I think because they were initially going for this comedic thing, they were becoming concerned, and so they weren't happy about that."

Fox wasn't available, then was, and Stoltz was out cold. "I had known Eric Stoltz. I went to the same acting class, so I'd known him a bit before," Glover relates.

The whole ordeal does taint the acting credit for Glover, though. "It's too bad because I know that it was a great role and I was really glad to play it and I felt good about the job that I'd done at it. But because of that, it does taint it for me and that there's this confusion where some people think that was me and it wasn't. I would have done it differently and it bothers me."

Why didn't he do the role? "Well, we couldn't come to an agreement, it's true, but without going into too much detail.., the way that the negotiations were was odd. I'll leave it at that," Glover says.
