John Glover

His character in ग्रेम्लिन्स 2 (1990) was originally written as a corrupt, deeply unpleasant businessman. Glover, who was getting sick of being cast as villains, instead chose to portray him as an immensely likable and friendly, if eccentric and immature, character.
Has played the father of two television supervillains. He played Lex Luthor's father on Smallville (2001) and the father of Sylar on Heroes (2006).
Aside from his theatrical endeavours, he is actively involved with the Alzheimer's Association.
During John Glover's interview on "Inside of You with Michael Rosenbaum" (hosted by the actor who played Glover's character's son on the TV show "Smallville"), Glover revealed that during the 1970s he had a one-night-stand in London with Queen lead singer Freddie Mercury.
Won Broadway's 1995 Tony Award as Best Actor (Featured Role - Play) for the dual roles of John Jeckyll and James Jeckyll in Terence McNally's "Love! Valour! Compassion!", parts he recreated in the film version of the same title, Love! Valour! Compassion! (1997).

I would like to be able to be both a film actor and a stage actor - to be an American actor in the style of a lot the English actors who do films. They are these wonderful actors who can do everything.
I had a big part of my life in the theater in Philadelphia. Philadelphia's changed, but I love it.
I think the reason I'm an actor is the joy I find from escaping and going to be somebody else. That's what I have fun doing.
[on making बैटमैन और रॉबिन (1997)]: Joel (Schumacher) would sit on a crane with a megaphone and yell before each take 'Remember everyone, this is a cartoon!' It was hard to act because of that kind of set the tone for the film.
