Crispin Glover is the latest intriguing actor to be cast in Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland. The line-up already includes Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter, Helena Bonham-Carter as the Red Queen, Anne Hathaway as the White Queen and Mia Wasikowska as Alice.

Glover will play The Knave of Hearts, who, in the original book, is put on trial in front of the Queen for stealing jam tarts and then defended by Alice as the evidence becomes increasingly absurd.

Burton plans to combine live-action and motion capture to recreate the chaotic and bizarre world of Lewis Carroll’s novel, which is something that Glover will doubtlessly excel at having recently played Grendel in Beowulf.

One of the most underrated performers in the business, Glover hasn’t been given the parts he deserves since his signature role as George McFly in Back To The Future. In fact, he has been in some appalling movies recently (Epic Movie comes to mind). It’ll be nice to see him cut loose in something more credible.
