This reclusive actor who starred in a legendary 80s movie was spotted on a rare public outing in Los Angeles recently.

The 61-year-old was dressed in all-black attire for his outing, concealing his identity beneath dark sunglasses and a bucket hat - 40 years after his starring role in Back To The Future.

The character actor was worlds away from Hollywood as he was snapped visiting a local garden center on his low-key bike ride.

His film roles also include turns in What's Eating Gilbert Grape?, Hot Tub Time Machine and Wild At Heart

It's Crispin Glover! The 6ft1 star's breakout role was as Michael J. Fox's onscreen awkward father George McFly in Robert Zemeckis' 1985 cinematic classic Back to the Future, which amassed $388.8M at the box office. 

Crispin hated the ending when the McFlys became rich and after he turned down writer-producer Bob Gale's $125K offer to reprise his role in Part II, he was replaced with stand-in Jeffrey Weissman wearing a prosthetic mask of his face.

Glover sued over the use of his likeness without permission and reportedly scored a $760K settlement, which inspired the Screen Actors Guild to put rules in place preventing the use of AI and prosthetics to recreate an absent actor.

Younger generations might better remember the Big Slide Show star's silent role as henchman The Thin Man in McG's 2000 big-screen remake of the TV show Charlie's Angels and its 2003 sequel Full Throttle.

Crispin memorably appeared in Tim Hunter's 1987 crime drama River's Edge, David Lynch's surrealist 1990 drama Wild at Heart, Miloš Forman's 1996 patriot comedy The People vs. Larry Flynt, and Oliver Stone's 1991 drama The Doors.

Glover appeared in What's Eating Gilbert Grape, Alice in Wonderland, Hot Tub Time Machine, Willard, and he took on his first small-screen role in Starz fantasy American Gods from 2017-2021.

In 2005, the 15-time published author stepped behind the camera to direct What Is It? and the 2007 sequel It Is Fine! Everything Is Fine, two surreal films populated entirely by actors with Down's Syndrome.

Audiences can next catch Crispin as the disturbing Tommy Taffy in David Michaels' sci-fi horror thriller The Third Parent - hitting US theaters October 31 - alongside Rob Lowe and Roselyn Sanchez.

The Bleecker Street flick is based on the popular viral 'creepypasta' series from writer Elias Witherow.

Glover will also play the titular traveling magician in Tallulah H. Schwab's surrealist mystery drama Mr. K, which Doppelgänger Releasing will screen in US theaters later this year.

His other upcoming projects include Adam Sigal's softcore porn industry comedy Skinemax, Paul Bunnell's reimagining of 1922 Lon Chaney film A Blind Bargain, and Albert Sandoval's thriller By the Rivers of Babylon.

The Beverly Hills High School grad rarely goes on talk shows following his erratic 1987 appearance on Late Night with David Letterman where he donned a wig and nearly kicked the host in the face with his platform boots.

Crispin proved it was all for performance art when he reprised the same erratic 'character' called Rubin Farr in Trent Harris' 1991 buddy comedy Rubin & Ed.

Glover is a life-long bachelor who's never had children, and he only ever publicly dated Penthouse model Alexa Lauren from 2001-2003.

On March 12, Crispin suffered the loss of his father Bruce Glover who passed away, at age 92, from natural causes.

Bruce was best known for playing Bond villain Mr. Wint in Guy Hamilton's 1971 spy flick Diamonds Are Forever as well as Duffy in Roman Polanski's 1974 ne-noir mystery Chinatown.

Glover - who rarely posts on social media - shared seven Instagram snaps as a tribute to his late father.
