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.

Julian Wyatt Glover (born 27 March 1935) is an English actor with many stage, television, and film roles. Classically trained, he is a recipient of the Laurence Olivier Award and has performed many times for the Royal Shakespeare Company.
