Tony winner and five-time Emmy-nominated John Glover has audiences stirring restlessly in their seats with his portrayal of the ruthless Lionel Luthor on The CW's "Smallville."

Born in Kingston, New York, and raised in Salisbury, Maryland, John Glover worked off-Broadway for ten years before Jane Fonda's notorious slap in Julia caused audiences to sit up and take notice of this talented newcomer. Deciding to take the next step in Hollywood, John Glover packed his things and moved to Los Angeles, where he landed the role of Victor DiMato in the television movie "An Early Frost," playing a brave AIDS patient. His performance earned him his first Emmy nomination.

John Glover soon found himself cast as a series of notable villains such as the pornographer-blackmailer in "52 Pick-Up," the mad scientist Dr. Jason Woodrue in "Batman & Robin," a manic TV executive in "Gremlins 2: The New Batch" and a drunken murderer in "Masquerade." John Glover's impressive resume also includes such box office hits as "Payback," with Mel Gibson, Woody Allen's "Annie Hall", "Robocop 2" and "Love! Valour! Compassion!"

John Glover lit up the small screen as well with Emmy-nominated turns in the series "Frasier," "LA Law" and ""Crime & Punishment. Taking his villainous streak to the extreme, John Glover portrayed Satan in "Brimstone." Other television credits include television movies "The Tempest," "Dead By Midnight," "Assault at West Point: The Court-Martial of Johnson Whittaker," "An Enemy of the People," "A Season of Giants" and "What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?" John Glover received another Emmy nod for his role in "Nutcracker: Money, Madness & Murder" and a Cable Ace nomination for his work in "Traveling Man."

Always returning to his first love, the stage, John Glover received a Tony Award and an Obie Award for Best Actor in "Love! Valour! Compassion!" John Glover was also awarded the L.A. Drama Critics Circle Award for Outstanding Actor for his work in "The Traveler." Additional Broadway performances include
"Sorrows and Rejoicings," "Give Me Your Answer," "Do! Tartuffe" and "Oblivion Postponed." He recently starred in "The Paris Letter" at the Roundabout Theatre in New York.

No stranger to the world of superheroes, John Glover also provided the voice of The Riddler in "Batman, The Animated Series."

John Glover splits his time among Maryland, Los Angeles and Vancouver. Striving to increase the awareness for the disease as well as raise much-needed funds for a cure, John Glover dedicates his time to the Alzheimer's Association. He also funds a scholarship for actors at his alma mater, Towson University, and returns to teach classes in his free time.
