HARTSVILLE, S.C. — Actor Danny Glover paid a visit to the Pee Dee to act as a campaign surrogate for Sen. Bernie Sanders from Vermont.

Glover held a community meeting Saturday evening at the Jerusalem Baptist Church in Hartsville.

Glover is famed for his role as Roger Murtaugh in the "Lethal Weapon" films. He has also acted in "The Color Purple," "Angels in the Outfield," "Saw," and "2012."

The Palmetto State, Glover said before the meeting, wasn't foreign to him. His mother grew up in Louisville, Ga., located southwest of Augusta which sits on the border between South Carolina and Georgia.

Glover said he and his mother both didn't pick cotton in September. They went to school.

Later in life, he had learned that his father's father is from South Carolina.

"I didn't even know there were other Glovers in the world until I became an actor," Glover said. "People from South Carolina were saying come to our family reunion and I believe that some of my relatives are from South Carolina."

Glover endorsed Sanders in April 2019.
