Julian Wyatt Glover (born March 27 1935) is an English actor. Glover was born in London, the son of Gordon Glover, a BBC radio producer, and Honor Wyatt, a close friend of the novelist Barbara Pym.

He trained at the National Youth Theatre and performed with the Royal Shakespeare Company. During the 1960s and 1970s, Glover frequently appeared in British television shows, including The Avengers, Doctor Who, Blake's 7 and By the Sword Divided.

He also appeared in films such as 1967's Quatermass and the Pit where he portrayed Quatermass' nemesis, Colonel Breen.

He made some of his most notable appearances during the 1980s as the Imperial General Maximilian Veers in Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back (1980), the ruthless villain Aristotle Kristatos in the James Bond film For Your Eyes Only (1981), and the deceptive and manipulative American Nazi villain Walter Donovan in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989).

He also made a cameo appearance in the 2002 movie version of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets as the voice of the giant spider Aragog.

He is twice married to actresses; Eileen Atkins (divorced 1966) and, since 1968, Isla Blair (b. 1944) - with whom he has a son, actor Jamie Glover (b. 1969).
