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.
