That’s right! Famed film, stage and television actor Danny Glover loves TAHITIAN NONI® Juice. We are very, very excited to welcome Danny to TNI’s incredible team of spokespeople.

“I began drinking TAHITIAN NONI® Juice without any knowledge of the benefits nor had I read any testimonies, just on the advice of a friend,” Danny says. “After a few days of consuming the juice, I noticed that I slept better and I felt stronger, more refreshed and more alert.

Danny Glover began his incredible acting career on the stage. His first small film role came in Escape from Alcatraz in 1979. Glover appeared in numerous plays over the next few years, but it was his performance in the New York production of Athol Fugard’s Master Harold and the Boys that first brought the actor national recognition. It was after seeing that performance that film director Robert Benton cast him in Places in the Heart, which was nominated for Best Picture, as was Glover's next film, 1985's Witness.

Glover is best known for co-starring with Mel Gibson in the Lethal Weapon series, which earned him an NAACP Image Award and an MTV Movie Award.
Glover's many film credits also include: The Color Purple, Silverado, Grand Canyon, The Saint of Fort Washington, Angels in the Outfield, Maverick, and The Royal Tenenbaums. Glover has also made frequent appearances on television. He received his second NAACP Image Award and a Cable ACE Award for his performance in Mandela on HBO. He starred in Lonesome Dove, one of the highest-rated and most acclaimed miniseries in television history, which earned Glover an Emmy Award nomination. TNT's Freedom Song also earned him an Emmy nomination for Best Supporting Actor, and another Image Award. Glover earned a Daytime Emmy nomination for directing Showtime's Just a Dream. He executive produced Courage, a one-hour weekly prime-time series for Fox Family Channel selected by TV Guide as one of the Top Ten Inspirational Shows on Television.

In 2004, Glover co-founded Louverture Films, LLC, dedicated to the development and production of films of historical relevance, social purpose, commercial value and artistic integrity. As someone who is passionate about his community activism and philanthropic efforts, Glover is deeply involved with the Vanguard Public Foundation based in San Francisco. In 2001, he assumed the board chairmanship of TransAfrica Forum, the African-American lobbying organization in Africa and the Caribbean.
