Biography
Glen Thomas Powell Jr. (born October 21, 1988) is an American actor. He began his career with minor roles on television and in films such as Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over (2003) and Fast Food Nation (2006). Powell acted in the action film The Expendables 3 (2014), the comedy-horror anthology series Scream Queens (2015–2016), the teen comedy Everybody Wants Some!! (2016), the historical romance The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society (2018), and the romantic comedy Set It Up (2018). He also portrayed astronaut John Glenn in Hidden Figures (2016) and aviator Tom Hudner in Devotion (2022). Powell's roles in the action film Top Gun: Maverick (2022) and the romantic comedy Anyone but You (2023) catapulted him to blockbuster stardom. He has since starred in the dark comedy Hit Man (2023), which he also co-wrote and produced, and in the disaster film Twisters (2024). His performance in the former earned him a Golden Globe Award nomination. Further, Powell starred in Edgar Wright's The Running Man (2025), based on the 1987 Stephen King novella of the same name; How to Make a Killing (2026), a remake of the 1949 film Kind Hearts and Coronets; and had his first major voice performance in a feature film as Fox McCloud (aka Star Fox) in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (2026), a role he personally sought Nintendo for.
