Actor: John Glover

Episode: "Invasive Procedures"
Character: Verad Dax
Born: August 7, 1944
Birthplace: Salisbury, Maryland, USA

Actor John Glover (born August 7, 1944) played Verad in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "Invasive Procedures."

Glover has earned several Emmy nominations for guest appearances on such TV shows as Frasier (with Kelsey Grammer and Richard Poe) and L.A. Law (with Corbin Bernsen and Larry Drake). He also played the Devil on the cult series Brimstone, co-starring Lori Petty. However, he is currently best known for his role as Lionel Luthor on the TV series Smallville.

He is also widely recognized for his roles in such films as 52 Pick-Up (1986, with Clarence Williams III and Alex Henteloff), Scrooged (1988, with Alfre Woodard, Michael J. Pollard, Roy Brocksmith, and Logan Ramsey), and Payback (1999, with Gregg Henry and Alex Henteloff). He has also gained much praise for his role as Daniel Clamp in 1990's Gremlins 2: The New Batch, in which he co-starred alongside Robert Picardo (The Doctor on Star Trek: Voyager). The film also featured fellow Star Trek alumni Zach Galligan, Dick Miller, Keye Luke, Jerry Goldsmith, Kenneth Tobey, and Henry Gibson.

One of Glover's earliest film appearances was a small role in Woody Allen's classic 1977 comedy, Annie Hall, in which Mark Lenard (Sarek) also appeared. Glover also co-starred with Star Trek: Enterprise guest actor Peter Weller in the films A Killing Affair (1986, with Bill Smitrovich) and RoboCop 2 (1990, with Robert Doqui, Mark Rolston, and Bill Bolender), as well as the 1986 TV movie Apology.

Glover also co-starred with TNG actor Jonathan Frakes in the 1987 mini-series Nutcracker: Money, Madness, and Murder, which also featured Frank Military, Daniel Hugh Kelly, George D. Wallace, and Noble Willingham. In 1990, Glover co-starred with Star Trek: Voyager actor Robert Beltran in the TV movie El Diablo, also featuring Jim Beaver.

Trivia

John Glover voiced the character of The Riddler in several episodes of Batman: The Animated Series. Frank Gorshin, who guest-starred in the TOS episode "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield", played the character in the Batman series of the 1960s. Glover himself would make a cameo as a mad scientist in the 1997's Batman & Robin.

He is currently set to play the role of Skeletor in a live action adaptation of He-Man, set for release in 2006. The character of Skeletor was voiced by veteran Star Trek guest star Alan Oppenheimer in the He-Man animated series and was played by Star Trek: Deep Space Nine guest star Frank Langella in the 1987 film Masters of the Universe (also starring Robert Duncan McNeill).
