Bruce Glover, Iconic James Bond Villain, Dies at 92

Bruce Glover, the versatile actor best known for his role as Mr. Wint in the 1971 James Bond classic "Diamonds Are Forever," has passed away at the age of 92. His son, actor Crispin Hellion Glover, confirmed the news via Instagram on March 12.

Crispin shared heartfelt tributes along with family photos and snapshots from Bruce's iconic career, including his appearances in "Chinatown" alongside Jack Nicholson and the TV series "Perry Mason." While details of his passing remain private, the legacy he leaves behind is anything but ordinary.

Born in Chicago, Illinois, Bruce's life story reads like a Hollywood script itself. After high school, he was drafted into the Army in 1953 and served during the Korean War. His acting career began in the late 1950s with roles in television classics like "Car 54, Where Are You?" and "Mission: Impossible." While he had many roles over the years, his portrayal of Mr. Wint in "Diamonds Are Forever" cemented his place in pop culture history.

In a 2019 interview, Bruce humorously recalled a standout moment from the Bond film, saying, "The final moment in the film where Sean Connery does that rude thing pushing the hooha up my yaha and giving that character his final great sexual moment is the biggest laugh in the movie." You can't make this stuff up—Bruce clearly had a knack for finding humor in even the strangest situations.

His career spanned decades, with his last credited role being in the 2015 film "Influence," where he acted alongside Crispin. Beyond his professional success, Bruce's personal life included his two sons, Crispin and Michael Leigh Glover, who survive him.

Bruce Glover's contributions to Hollywood, from quirky TV guest appearances to unforgettable film roles, showcase a career that was never dull and always impactful. Though the curtain has fallen on his remarkable life, his performances continue to shine bright.
