Glynn Edwards
Glynn Edwards counts as a veteran of both film and television with a career measured in decades rather than seasons. The career opened quietly, the way most long ones do. 52 appearances between the two screens is the plain arithmetic of it. 'Zulu' remains the reference point, thanks largely to Cpl. Allen. 'Get Carter' rounds out the better-known part of the filmography.
