This Day In History

22 July: Danny Glover born

You will more than likely know Danny Glover through one of two roles, Roger Murtaugh in the Lethal Weapon movies or Michael Harrigan in Predator 2. His most well known recent appearance was arguably as Detective David Tapp in Saw V.

Before you ask, we're not sure what his relationship with Mel Gibson is like these days. At a guess, we'd say it's fairly similar to Mel's relationship with most people: strained.

Glover's political views have earned him less favourable attention of late, most notably through a well publicised friendship with Hugo Chavez, President of Venezula. Chavez has reportedly financed Glover's film about Toussaint Louverture, leader of a slave uprising in Haiti 1791.

Glover has a long history of activism, and supporting causes he believes in. He is an active fighter against global warming and the changing of the climate due to mankind's pollution.
