Bruce Herbert Glover (born May 2, 1932) is an American actor, perhaps best known for his portrayal of homosexual assassin Mr. Wint in the 1971 James Bond film Diamonds Are Forever. He is also the father of actor Crispin Glover.
Talented character actor who has notched up over 45 years in Hollywood, and is generally most entertaining playing villains or oily individuals. He began with numerous appearances in TV shows including "Perry Mason" (1957), "Rat Patrol, The" (1966), "My Favorite Martian" (1963), "Mod Squad, The" (1968) and "Hawk" (1966). His performance alongside Putter Smith as two gay hit men trying to eliminate Sean Connery in the James Bond adventure 'Diamonds are Forever (1971)_ was equally chilling and humorous, stamping "Mr Kidd" and "Mr Wint" as two favorite villains of the entire 007 series. Glover was a redneck thug harassing well meaning teens in the drama Bless the Beasts & Children (1971), contributed another icy performance as "Duffy" in Chinatown (1974) and he was leaning on hustler James Coburn to repay his debts in 'Hard Times (1973)_ . Glover also appeared in the controversial vigilante style film Walking Tall (1973), and its lesser sequel Walking Tall Part II (1975). He remained busy through the 1980/90s with more guest spots on shows including "T.J. Hooker" (1982), "Dukes of Hazzard, The" (1979), and "A-Team, The" (1983). More recently, his film appearances have included Night of the Scarecrow (1995), Die Hard Dracula (1998) and Ghost World (2001).
