Danny Glover movies in order

In 1979, Danny Glover made his film debut in the movie, Escape from Alcatraz. From here he followed up his acting work with appearances in films such as Chu Chu and the Philly Flash, Out, and The Face of Rage.

To begin with, Glover’s on-screen roles were small parts, but soon his star status began to rise. This in turn increased his presence on the big screen, and propelled his career onward.

Over the years Glover has appeared in a wealth of movies, ranging from The Color Purple to Predator 2, Saw, and Jumanji: The Next Level. He has also co-starred in the Lethal Weapon series alongside Mel Gibson.
