Danny Glover admitted to 'ER'

Emmy Award nominee Danny Glover has signed on for multiple episodes of NBC's long-running drama "ER." Glover's run will begin at the end of this season and will continue into next fall. Glover will play Charlie Pratt, estranged father of Mekhi Phifer's Dr. Gregory Pratt. Glover will first appear in the series' May 19 episode. Although Glover is a TV- movie staple, the actor rarely makes guest appearances. Glover did episodes of "The Greatest American Hero," "Hill Street Blues" and "Gimme a Break!" - but those roles all came before his 1985 breakout performances in the movies "Witness," "The Color Purple" and "Silverado." Best known as Roger Murtaugh in the "Lethal Weapon" movies, Glover has received four Emmy nominations, including nods for 1987's "Mandela" and 1989's "Lonesome Dove."
