Bruce Glover, a prolific actor who appeared in films like Diamonds Are Forever and Chinatown and acted alongside Bette Davis and Anne Bancroft on Broadway, died at the age of 92, his son, Back to the Future actor Crispin Glover announced on Instagram.

Crispin Glover shared a series of old and newer photos of his father on social media, as well as a family picture featuring himself and his mother, alongside the caption: “Bruce Herbert Glover / May 2, 1932 – March 12, 2025.”

Born in Depression-era Chicago, Glover showed an early interest in performance. While in school he thought about becoming a painter or pursuing a football career. Later on, as an art student, he was asked by a fellow classmate to don a near 100-pound Gorilla suit for a gig “toss[ing] her around” during her stripping act, and thus began his foray into acting. Being drafted in the U.S. Army for the Korean War delayed his plans, but he soon made it onto the stage for local theater productions. In the ’60s, he appeared on Broadway, opposite Davis in The Night of the Iguana and Bancroft in Mother Courage and Her Children.

Glover was also a veteran TV and film actor, embarking on his on-screen career in the late ’50s. His numerous television credits include Perry Mason, Mission: Impossible, Mod Squad, Gunsmoke, S.W.A.T., The Streets of San Francisco, Battlestar Galactica, The Dukes of Hazzard and The A-Team.

On the silver screen, Glover played the villainous Mr. Wint opposite Sean Connery’s James Bond in 1971’s Diamonds Are Forever. Several years later, he appeared in Chinatown, alongside Jack Nicholson and Faye Dunaway. He was also in the original The Thomas Crowne Affair, Hard Times and Ghost World, featuring Steve Buscemi and a young Scarlett Johansson.

He also collaborated with his late wife Betty, also an actress, and his son, such as in 2007’s It Is Fine! Everything Is Fine., the indie drama funded and co-directed by Crispin Glover.
