Julian Glover

Julian Glover is a master class in why villains belong to the great actors. Classically trained, a Royal Shakespeare Company veteran with an Olivier Award and a CBE, he brought genuine theatrical weight to blockbusters, the menace in The Empire Strikes Back and the cold calculation in Indiana Jones. Anyone can chew scenery, but making a villain truly convincing in those huge films takes a real stage pedigree. Born in 1935 and still working for decades, he never needed to be the hero. Tightening a story as the antagonist is its own art, and watching him reminds me of that every time.
