Glen Thomas Powell Jr. (b. October 21st 1988 in Austin, Texas) is an American actor from Austin, Texas. He has been acting since childhood, and has only started to gain real traction in TheNewTens. Early roles included bit parts in the ''Film/SpyKids'' franchise, episodes of ''Series/JackAndBobby'', ''Series/CSIMiami'' and ''{{Series/NCIS}}''. At the age of eighteen, he was filming ''The Great Debaters'' when a man came up to him and told him he resembled a young Creator/RichardGere. The man was Hollywood superagent Ed Liamato - who advised Glen to move to Los Angeles, which he did after his freshman year of college. He got a big boost by starring in ''Film/TheExpendables3'' as Thorn - and has started to gain more traction in movies. He's been lucky enough to collaborate twice with Creator/RichardLinklater - first on ''Fast Food Nation'' when he was just fifteen, and later on ''Film/EverybodyWantsSome''!! - the SpiritualSuccessor to ''Film/DazedAndConfused''.

* TheDanza: He plays John Glenn in ''Film/HiddenFigures''.
* DawsonCasting:
** Inverted. John Glenn was in his forties when he went into space at the time ''Film/HiddenFigures'' depicts. Glen was twenty-seven.
** He was also twenty-six playing a college freshman in ''Film/EverybodyWantsSome'' and ''Series/ScreamQueens2015''.
* DyeingForYourArt: He gained about 20 pounds in three weeks for ''Sand Castle''.
* EnforcedMethodActing: A scene in ''Everybody Wants Some'' where he hugs a girl goodbye was meant to look awkward. So the actress was not told Glen would be hugging her.
* MemeticMutation: He's now very used to people throwing Chad Radwell quotes at him in public.
* ProductionPosse: With Richard Linklater in ''Fast Food Nation'' and ''Film/EverybodyWantsSome''.
* RealLifeRelative: His mother usually gets to be a featured extra in the films he stars in.
* StarMakingRole: ''Series/ScreamQueens2015'' marked the transition between bit parts in ''Film/TheDarkKnightRises'' and ''Film/TheExpendables 3'' to ''Film/EverybodyWantsSome'' and ''Film/HiddenFigures''.
* ThrowItIn:
** He broke his arm shortly before ''Fast Food Nation'', but Richard Linklater suggested just putting the cast on, since it wouldn't be out of the ordinary for a high school student to be seen with one.
** Finnegan's "asshole crabs" comment in ''Everybody Wants Some'' was an ad-lib by him.

The role that a good amount of fans associate him with (though time will tell of course) is that of JerkWithAHeartOfGold Chad Radwell on Ryan Murphy's horror comedy show ''Series/ScreamQueens2015''. As Chad is considered to be the show's BreakoutCharacter, this naturally sent a lot of positive attention Glen's way.

Apparently his parents work as extras on most of the films he stars in, his mother playing a bit of a prank on Creator/MelGibson on ''The Expendables 3''. Oh and he's also got Creator/DCComics cred via a small role getting choked to death by Bane in ''Film/TheDarkKnightRises''.
