Brian Glover (2 April 1934 – 24 July 1997) was an English actor and writer. He worked as a teacher and professional wrestler before commencing an acting career which included films, many roles on British television and work on the stage. His film appearances include Kes (1969), An American Werewolf in London (1981) and Alien 3 (1992).
Described by The New York Times as a "robust character actor" who played "gruff but likable roles",[1] he had a "string of roles playing tough guys and criminals".[2] He once said, "You play to your strengths in this game, and my strength is as a bald-headed, rough-looking Yorkshireman".[3] Glover was also known as the voice of Gaffer in the Tetley tea commercials.[4]The Independent described him upon his death as "one of Britain's best-loved actors".[4]
