Career

edit

Television

edit

Glover made his professional debut in the soap opera Jupiter Moon.[2] His other television credits include Birds of a Feather, Casualty,Cadfael, Joseph, New Tricks, Midsomer Murders and Trial & Retribution XV: Rules Of The Game. He played deputy head Andrew Treneman in the first two series of the BBC One school-based drama Waterloo Road, alongside Jason Merrells and Angela Griffin, briefly reprised the role in the fourth series and returned again in 2023.

In February 2024, Glover was cast as Patrick Onley, the new Clinical Lead of the Emergency Department in Casualty, with the character making his debut in March 2024.[4] Glover departed the series at the conclusion of the character's storyline in June 2024, in a previously unannounced exit.[5]

Theatre and film

edit

Glover made his first stage appearance at the age of eight, playing young Marcius in a production of Coriolanus at Stratford. Although other juvenile appearances and film offers followed, his parents kept him from becoming a child actor, preferring that he make the choice about his career when he was ready.[6] His theatre work includes Edward III, Henry V (Propeller), The Chalk Garden, The Glass Menagerie, The Cherry Orchard and All's Well That Ends Well, alongside Judi Dench.[1] He also appeared in Hamlet at the Norwich Playhouse, alongside his parents, with Julian Glover also directing the production.[6]

He most recently played Peter in the French comedy What's In A Name? alongside Nigel Harman, Sarah Hadland, Raymond Coulthard and Olivia Poulet at the Birmingham Repertory Theatre in January 2017.

He joined the cast of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child at the Palace Theatre, London starting on 24 May 2017, playing the role of Harry Potter.[7]

Glover has appeared in the films These Foolish Things, The Reef and Closing Numbers.

Voice work

edit

Glover has lent his voice to documentaries, commercials, audiobooks and computer games.[1] He joined the Star Wars universe in various voice-roles; he played General Maximilian Veers in Star Wars: Battlefront II, taking over the role from his father who played the same character in The Empire Strikes Back. In Battlefront II, he dubbed over archive footage of his father as Veers for the archive footage sequences in the game from Empire Strikes Back. He returned to reprise his role as Veers in Star Wars: Empire at War. He also did voice work in Knights of the Old Republic II, and has a major role in Star Wars: The Old Republic as Darth Malgus.

He also works in radio drama, and considers that: "Radio allows you to do work on a really good piece with a great cast, director and writer but because it takes far less time, it means that you can schedule in other things easily".[3]

Directing

edit

Glover directed student productions at RADA, and in 2008 made his directorial debut with a production of Measure for Measure for the Ambassador's Theatre Group.[1]
