Rod Glenn is an English actor and author from northeast England.
He trained in Theatre and Performing Arts at North Tyneside College and has gone on to appear in many film and television productions, including Monster, Ripper Street, The More You Ignore Me, American Assassin, The Hollow Crown, Wolfblood and The Hippopotamus. His performance in Monster was described as 'one hell of a performance' and a 'revelation' by Ginger Nuts of Horror. Machine Mean described him as 'Glenn brought an incredibly unique intensity to this, clearly putting all into this role.'
He achieved critical and commercial success with Sinema: The Northumberland Massacre released in 2007 (Wasteland Press) and again in 2010 (Wild Wolf Publishing). A contemporary thriller set in the north east of England about a film-obsessed serial killer stalking a remote Northumberland community. Friday the 13th star and horror icon Adrienne King described it as "Masterful writing" and The Crack Magazine described it as "One of the most heart racing, jaw-dropping novels that I have ever dared to finish."
