In Game Of Thrones

Glover played Grand Maester Pycelle on Thrones, recurring throughout each of the first six seasons. He had a prominent role to play as a member of the Small Council, mostly serving Tywin and Cersei Lannister, though that wasn't enough to spare him in the end. He was, as Jaime so eloquently put it, a "grey, sunken c**t."

In Harry Potter

You wouldn't necessarily link Glover to a role in Harry Potter based purely on appearance, because we don't actually see him in the movies. Instead, we just get to hear his voice, as he takes on undoubtedly the most frightening villain of the whole saga (just me?), the Acromantula Aragog.

What Else

Even outside of these two properties, Glover is a well-known face - especially within geek culture - having appeared in the likes of The Empire Strikes Back, Doctor Who, For Your Eyes Only, and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
