Brian Glover, standing at exactly 5ft 8 ½ (174 cm), was a British wrestler under the name Leon Arras whose compact yet powerful height contributed to his imposing presence in the ring and on screen.
Transitioning to acting, his 174 cm stature perfectly suited rugged character roles, including the bullying teacher Mr. Sugden in Kes (1969), the gruff Andrews in Alien 3 (1992), and the pub landlord in An American Werewolf in London (1981), enhancing his tough, no-nonsense image across films like Brannigan.
