- Mini Bio:
- Brian Glover was a well-known English character actor, writer and wrestler. Glover's first acting job and probably his most memorable came playing Mr Sugden, the comically overbearing sports teacher in Ken Loach's film Kes. While his trademark bald head, stocky build, and gruff Yorkshire accent garnered him many roles as tough guys and criminals, he also played Bottom in A Midsummer Night's Dream, had a recurring role in the classic sitcom Porridge, played Quilp in The Old Curiosity Shop, and lent his voice to a number of animated characters, including the "gaffer" of the "Tetley Tea People" in a long-running series of television advertisements for Tetley tea. He also appeared in An American Werewolf in London, The First Great Train Robbery, Alien 3, and Leon the Pig Farmer.
