Born on May 2, 1932, in Chicago, Glover's early interests lay in performance, painting, and football.
However, it was his chance encounter with a fellow art student that led him to don a 100-pound gorilla suit for a stripping act, marking the beginning of his acting career.
Glover's journey was briefly interrupted by his service in the US Army during the Korean War.
Upon his return, he began performing in local theatre productions, eventually making his way to Broadway.
He shared the stage with legendary actresses Bette Davis and Anne Bancroft in productions such as The Night of the Iguana and Mother Courage and Her Children.
Glover's extensive television credits include appearances in shows such as Perry Mason, Mission: Impossible, and The A-Team.
His film career includes roles in Diamonds Are Forever (1971), Chinatown (1974), and Ghost World (2001).
Glover collaborated with his late wife, Betty, and his son, Crispin, on several projects, including the 2007 indie drama It Is Fine! Everything Is Fine.
Crispin remembered his father fondly, sharing a series of photos and a family picture on Instagram.
