Charlie’s Angels star Crispin Glover announced on Friday that his father, actor Bruce Glover, has died at the age of 92.

Crispin broke the news on his Instagram page, lovingly sharing a string of throwback pH๏τos of his father, whom he lost on March 12.

Bruce was known for playing ᴀssᴀssin Mr. Wint, one of the villains of the 1971 James Bond movie Diamonds Are Forever starring Sean Connery as 007.

Three years later, Bruce featured as an ᴀssistant to the Jack Nicholson character in the seminal Roman Polanski movie Chinatown.

He also acted on a variety of classic television shows ranging from Gunsmoke and Perry Mason to Murder, She Wrote and The A-Team.

A representative for Crispin confirmed the news of Bruce’s pᴀssing this Friday but did not disclose a specific cause of death, according to TMZ.

Bruce was born in Chicago in 1932 and grew up there as ‘a tough working class kid,’ he told the website The Original Van Gogh’s Ear Anthology.

He worked from the age of six as a grocery delivery boy, growing into a high school football star but also honing his artistic instincts, selling paintings ‘as a little kid.’ 

After he served in the Korean War, he landed his first job onstage, dressing as a gorilla and tossing a stripper around in a nightclub act in Florida – prompting a local magician to tell him: ‘Bruce you are an actor,’ because of how ‘believable’ he was.

He set off for New York and embarked on a Broadway career in the early 1960s, including in Tennessee Williams’ The Night Of The Iguana with Bette Davis and Bertolt Brecht’s drama Mother Courage And Her Children with Anne Bancroft.

During the 1960s and 1970s, he also worked extensively in television, featuring on some of the top shows of the era including Mission: Impossible and Gunsmoke.

His small screen credits during that time included The Dukes Of Hazzard, Perry Mason, The Mod Squad, Barney Miller and CHiPs.

Bruce’s greatest fame arrived in 1971 when he and jazz bᴀssist Putter Smith featured as a pair of ᴀssᴀssins after Sean Connery’s James Bond in Diamonds Are Forever.

In 1974 he played Duffy, the taciturn ᴀssistant of Jack Nicholson’s detective character Jake in the seminal film Chinatown also starring Faye Dunaway.

His television career continued through the 1980s with roles on programs like Hart To Hart; The A-Team; Murder, She Wrote and T.J. Hooker.

Bruce welcomed Crispin with his second wife, ballerina Betty Krachey, whom he was happily married to for 56 years from 1960 until her death in 2016.

Shortly before the COVID-19 pandemic swept the world, Bruce and Crispin acted together for the first time in a movie sH๏τ at the latter’s castle in the Czech Republic.

In 2019, Bruce revealed that the movie was in the process of being edited, but at the time of his death the finished product had yet to be released.
