John Glover's acting career can be summed up in one word: Character!!! He is such one................LOL!!! I simply love every role I see him in and do wish he had a series of his own or at least a supporting role in one! His characterization of the profiler on "Criminal Intent" was astounding! Just absolute perfection, in my humble opinion! My favorite role of John Glover's was as Satan in the short-lived Fox Horror fest, "Brimstone". I used to hang on every episode waiting for his character of Satan to appear and spout off some of those devilish one-liners! Just yummy!!! He also did a great job in the film, "Automatic", as a corperation CEO-scientist. I would have missed him in that one, but my boy Jeff Kober, was also in it and they played very well off one another! John Glover, is an American treaure, that should be seen a lot more often! He is just so worth the watch!

I think John Glover has done well on Smallville. He has played both the bad guy, the good guy, and the guy you can't ever read. He has been in Smallville for 6+ seasons and could be exiting with a death for Season 6. I hope that he doesn't die that soon, but I guess they need to go on with the show. But as Smallville progresses I think he will be looked back upon as one of it's best characters.

He is one of the best actors I've seen out there. He is probably most known to people ad Lionel Luthor in smallville. He plays both a good and bad man. I love the parts with him and lex in it he is so good I hope he doesn't leave smallville anytime soon because hes very good. Hes been in smallville since season 1 but only became as a normal cast member since the 6th season. I always wondered since season 1 if they would show more of Lex's dad and luckily they did.

John Glovers a great actor if smallville takes him off this season the show wont be the same without him
