After the success of Back to the Future, Crispin Glover set his sights on playing Layne, a narcissistic teenager who helps his friend cover up a murder. Because of his unique background and methods as an actor, he turned the role on its head and came out of left field with a brilliant performance that has to be seen to be believed.

Special thanks to Crispin for agreeing to a brief interview to discuss this film, which is included in the video.
