...solid, so stolid that cross-cultural jokes fizzle around him; producers have stopped trying to turn him into a smiling Jackie type. And since his mission is not to learn American ways but just to catch the damn villain, a Li movie can get down to basics: punch, kick, pummel, kill...
From his tormented neurotic in River's Edge to his manic-nerd dad in Back to the Future, the thin, plain Glover has always popped on-screen. But he is perhaps most famous for a 1987 appearance on David Letterman in which a long-haired Glover yelled, "I can kick! I can kick!" and proceeded to kick inches from Letterman's face.

The thimerosal provision, though, has triggered a new layer of furor...
