Career

Glenister had a regular role in the BBC sitcom Sink or Swim, which ran from 1980 until 1982. He has also appeared in shows such as Soldier Soldier, Only Fools and Horses (as Myles the millionaire garden centre owner and chairman of the SWANS committee), A Touch of Frost and Inspector George Gently, as well as several films.

He had a starring role in the BBC drama Hustle as Ash Morgan, a high-level con-man who has to convincingly play various roles or characters to pull off a con and lure a 'mark'. He is the only actor who has appeared in every episode of the series. He has also had regular starring roles in the BBC drama Spooks and appeared in Spartacus. He appeared as an Irish-American mob boss in Ben Affleck's crime drama Live by Night, which was released in December 2016. He has been cast twice in Doctor Who, playing Salateen in The Caves of Androzani (1984) (opposite his Sink or Swim co-star Peter Davison) and Thomas Edison in "Nikola Tesla's Night of Terror" (2020).

In June 2022 he appeared as Detective Inspector Salisbury in Sherwood, a BBC serial written by James Graham.[1]

Personal life

Glenister married actor Amanda Redman in 1984; the couple had one child together, daughter Emily, before they divorced in 1992.[2] He later married BBC Radio producer and director Celia de Wolff, with whom he has one child, son Tom.[3][4]

In April 2019, it was reported that lawyers acting for a company owned by Glenister - Big Bad Wolff - had lost an appeal in a long-running battle with HM Revenue and Customs regarding liability for National Insurance contributions.[5] Glenister subsequently said that he would have to sell or remortgage his house as a result of the ruling, since he now faced a bill of £147,000 plus interest.[6]
