Crispin, star of the hit franchise Back to the Future, announced his father’s passing in a post on Instgram.
The distraught son simply said: “Bruce Herbert Glover. May 2, 1932 – March 12, 2025.”
He also shared a touching photo of himself as a child, his father, and his mother.
It is not yet clear why the 92-year-old died.
The hard-man character actor also starred in other well-known flicks in the 1960s and 1970s like Hard Times and Bless the Beasts and Children.
But it’s for Diamonds Are Forever he will be best known and his role as the assassin Mr Wint working on behalf of diamond smuggler Ernst Stavro Blofeld.
Mr Wint, with his pal Mr Kidd, thrilled moviegoers by killing a dentist with a scorpion, blowing up a helicopter with a time bomb, and trying to kill Sean Connery’s Bond.
But the pair eventually met their end on a cruise ship.
Glover was born in Chicago and had served in the army from 1953 to 1955, spending six months in Korea.
He was married twice and had two other children beyond Crispin.
Glover started taking bit parts on TV in the 1950s after starting out on Broadway.
That changed to the silver screen in the 1970s where he would keep acting in small character actor roles until 2015.
Glover also taught acting in Los Angeles and built another level to his home in the 1990s to accommodate an acting studio.
In a 2015 interview with the James Bond Radio Podcast, Glover revealed he had his first acting lesson from an ape.
Early in his career Glover had been asked by a colleague if he would put on a gorilla suit for an act she was in.
He said: “I went down to the [Lincoln Park] zoo and studied Bushman, the famous gorilla, which the guy who owned the act told me to do.
“Bushman gave me my first acting lesson. He said, ‘Think my thoughts and do my moves.’”
