A gangly character actor known for his quirky signature look, Crispin Glover was born in New York City on Sept. 20, 1964, and launched his acting career as a teenager, first appearing onstage opposite Florence Henderson in a regional theater production of "The Sound of Music."But he is most often linked with his portrayal of Michael J.
