Glover credited Jean Shelton for a large part of his growth as an actor in an interview on Inside the Actors Studio. Glover resigned from his city administration job and began his career as a stage actor shortly after realizing he wanted to be an actor. Glover then moved to Los Angeles for more acting opportunities, where he would later co-found the Robey Theatre Company with actor Ben Guillory in honor of actor and concert singer Paul Robeson in Los Angeles in 1994.

Under the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the EPA was found guilty of infringing Coleman-Adebayo's civil rights on the basis of ethnicity, sex, gender, color, and a hostile work environment. Coleman-Adebayo was dismissed shortly after she revealed the environmental and human tragedy that was unfolding in the British, South Africa, vanadium mines.

Glover wanted to make a film biography of Toussaint Louverture for his debut in directorial fashion. Wesley Snipes, Angela Bassett, Don Cheadle, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Roger Guenveur Smith, Isaach de Bankolé, and Richard Bohringer appeared in the film in May 2006. Filming in Poland began in late 2006 and was expected to begin in early 2007. President Hugo Chávez of Venezuela contributed $18 million to finance Toussaint for Glover, who was a major US supporter of Chávez in May 2007. Some Venezuelan filmmakers were furious over the donation, who said that the funds could have funded other homegrown films and that Glover's film was not even about Venezuela. The Venezuelan National Assembly approved an additional $9,840,505 for Glover's film, which is still in process. Glover provided an update on the Toussaint project in 2015, adding that, "the film we never saw is a film about the Haitian revolution and Toussaint Louverture." He was fortuitously named after him, and that was the movie that I wanted to watch. We've written a script. We didn't know we were going to get it done four years ago, but we suspected we'd have to do it again four years ago. We figured we'd be making it right now. However, there are other aspects of life that intrigue me.
Glover appeared at London Film and Comic Con 2013 at Earls Court 2 over 2.5 days from Friday, July 5th to Sunday, July 7. On July 16, 2015, he appeared in a panel discussion in McComb, Mississippi.
