deadline.comBruce 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.
