* AscendedFancast: Coming off ''Series/{{Community}}'', Glover was a very popular choice for the role of Miles Morales, the ''ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan'', and even actively campaigned for it ahead of ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderManSeries''. Though he eventually aged out playing the role in live action, Glover got the chance to voice Miles in ''WesternAnimation/UltimateSpiderMan2012'' and played a character who is traditionally Miles's uncle in ''Film/SpiderManHomecoming''.

* CastingGag: Being the voice of Miles Morales in ''WesternAnimation/UltimateSpiderMan2012.'' His audition for ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan'' actually led to Creator/BrianMichaelBendis creating Miles Morales as response in the comics. So in other words, Glover is now voicing the character he inspired the creation of. And in ''Film/SpiderManHomecoming'', he played Aaron Davis aka the Prowler, Miles' uncle.
