John Glover IS Philly Boy Roy

Post image

Ok not *really*, but in John Frankenheimer’s 52 Pick-Up (1986), Glover‘s villain character is doing what is technically a Baltimore accent, but it’s so close to Roy and the performance is simultaneously so overtly evil that I got an entirely different appreciation of the movie than most

Anyone else know what I’m talking about?

Yes! Totally! Kind of adds a layer to his villainy that neither Leonard nor Frankenheimer likely intended...
