GOODBYE, BRUCE GLOVER

In the world of 007, you're Mr. Wint in Diamonds Are Forever, but your wide-range status placed you in many other fine forms of fancy. 

For example, you took up residence in Chinatown; Walking Tall; Walking Tall, Part II; Walking Tall: The Final Chapter; Hard TimesThe Thomas Crown Affair (1968); Dayton's Devils; C.C. and Company; Sultan and the Rock Star; Scandalous John; Never Steal Anything Small; Chaindance; Who Killed Teddy Bear; The Imposter; The OutsiderBig Bad Mama II; Mcnamara Band; Buffalo BushidoBless the Beasts and the ChildrenTiger, TigerSweet Love; American Hero; Scammerhead; Simon Says; Spoiler; Bitter; Black Gunn; Broke Sky; Hider in the House; Street Wars; YumaThis Is the West That Was; One Little IndianPenny Ante: The Motion Picture; Suicide, the Comedy; Kiss Me, Kill MeSix Days in Paradise; It is Fine! Everything is Fine!; Stunts; Hunter's BloodBlindfold; Ghost World; Ghost Town; PopcornNight of the ScarecrowWarlock: Armageddon; Die Hard DraculaShakespeare's Plan 12 from Outer Space; and Frankenstein Meets the Space Monster (as the titular alien, even if uncredited, and as an obedient, space-crew member). 

And when it came to television sagas, you knocked it out of the park with roles on The Six Million Dollar Man; Barney Miller; CHiPs; Perry Mason; Adam-12; Kojak; Harry O; The Blue Knight; S.W.A.T.The Rat Patrol; 12 O' Clock HighMy Favorite Martian; The The Good Guys; Danny Thomas Hour; Car 54, Where Are You?The Psychiatrist; The Verdict Is Yours; Mission: ImpossibleThe Feather and Father Gang; SwitchHawk; Bearcats!; The Doctor and the Nurses; Run for Your Life; Paris 7000; The Partners; Route 66The Mod Squad; The Streets of San Francisco; Dundee and Culhane; The Big ValleyThe Guns of Will SonnettBonanza; and Gunsmoke

You were a special, refined breed, Mr. Glover, who projected numerous facets, including fanciful painting, and you shared your expressive stroke with your son, Crispin, for which we are all grateful. You could play anything and played everything, making yourself known through unique variations. Because of this, you established yourself as one of the best, no matter the category, the medium or the plot.
