Early on Sunday evening I had a chance encounter with an ever so interesting man. I use the term encounter very loosely, as what actually happened was I saw two men with an arm over each other's shoulder and their backs to me.
I was skipping towards the underground and noticed the two men and a small group ladies, and a camera. If you see someone having their photo taken in a random place either one of them is 13 or one of them is famous.
In my head I quickly plucked for the latter. It can be quite strange unexpectantly seeing someone from the 'movies' especially at a train station; everyone who's anyone flys, don't they?
I thought at the time he was rushing for the eurostar as he had six (6!) bags, but he has been touring his special show around the UK so he could've been heading anywhere. Despite this thought I'm more concerned with where he's come from.
He starred in one of my all time favourite motion pictures; he played his character with an eccentric flair and innocence that was nigh on perfect for the role.
If you're stuck in 50s America with a can of coke you can't open, he'll be there. If you want a man who when it really comes down to it will pull through with a Biff, he'll be there. Most importantly if you go back in time and stop a peeping tom from getting hit by a car, he'll be there.
That's right, this weeks mystery guest is ...... Crispin Glover! AKA George Mcfly.
