At this point, Glenn Powell feels like he is known forever thanks to a series of high-profile projects (it also happened to be major financial successes), but this birthplace only broke into the mainstream in the late 2010s. So what was he doing before? As a young actor tries to make him big in Hollywood, Powell appeared in "Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over" along with Selena GomezIn a small, blink-you will miss the role in "Dark Knight Rising"- consisting entirely of Tom Hardy's supervisor who slammed the young Powell's head in a computer keyboard - and, as it turns out, he Also He appeared on NCIS.

In the 10th season of the procedure, Powell plays the sergeant of the sea corps Evan West in the two-piece episode "Shell Shock", whose older brother, Captain Oeo West (Brad Beyer), watched his friend were attacked (and maybe or may not be personally involved). Powell actually talked about his turn in the series recently until the end of 2024, while promoting his film "Twisters" in profile for Vanity fair. As Powell told Anthony Berznian, he was making the entertainment industry a lot From his role "NCIS" in 2012, not, as he said, for the better. "Business no longer supports combat actors as I did when I was kind of going out," Powell shared. "I would make an episode of" NSIS ", and that will take me a year. You know what I mean? "

"You do not live a lavish lifestyle," Powell continued. "You hide a trunk in the trunk if you go out for a drink. You don't have to afford something important in that city, but you can stay there. Those small jobs, as if they get commercial, keep life in the system." Clearly, NCIS helped Powell two ways: it helped expand his profile as a contractor And helped to support him financially in the early days as an actor. So which project eventually shifts everything for Powell?

I understand that for some people, Richard Linklater's comedy for 2016 "Everyone Wants Some !!!" It was their first introduction to a young Glenn Powell. Others may have caught him in a small role in "hidden figures" the same year, and Real Ryan Murphy fans know that he was playing Chad Radwell in the short -lived series "Crick Queens". By saying, I would claim that the project that Really Put Powell on the map was "Set it", an original romantic comedy on Netflix ... Not only because it was quite widely seen on the stream, but because it proved that Powell could play romantic leadership without breaking sweat. In addition to Zoe Deuch as Harper Moore, Powell is played by Charlie Young, and both Harper and Charlie are both exaggerated assistants; Harper works for sports journalist Kirsten Stevens (Lucy Liu), and Charlie is working to invest a capitalist named Rick Otis (Tay Diggs). When they meet Harper and Charlie, they realize that they could potentially come together and take their bosses to a high level-for because if Rick and Kirsten started socializing, they might be easier to their assistants. Charlie and Harper have a real idea but Obviously, They start to fall for each other.

"Everyone wants some !!!" It ended to give the Powell Starwar a vehicle along with a link a few years later - more about it in just one second - and the "hidden figures" was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Picture, but However"Set it" basically was the perfect introduction to Powell. Not only proved how charming the boy is, but that is Also He has proven that he can manually make a movie ... And now, with just a few exceptions, he feels rarely for Powell to play a second sorcerer on the big screen.

Of course, Glenn Powell is not the lead in the "Top Gun: Maverick" in 2022, but that is because Tom Cruise is the lead (and Miles Teller scored the role of Rooster, Maverick; Climb After cruising the sky in legacyquel. (Sorry.)

At the end of 2023, Powell hit the Gold of the box office along with Sydney Syvins in "Everyone except you", A romantic comedy adapted by "Lots of Advertising for Nothing" by William Shakespeare that was charming, though it may not have been the the most original entry into the genre. Technically, the same year, Powell had another huge film ready to awaken the audience. Powell's second collaboration with Richard Linklater, "Hit Man"-What the actor co-wrote it with the writer and director nominated for Oscar-prime minister in September 2023 at the Venice Film Festival and After a bunch of study (stupid) have passed the projectAnd when Hit Man finally premiered Netflix in 2024, it was a good hit! Like Gary Nsonson, a professor of psychology and philosophy with a mild managed, whose side is in a hurry to ORLeans police department operations take a new life when he starts working, Sting said, Powell really shines. We can't talk about 2024 on Powell, without mentioning the "twists", the long -awaited "Twister" sequel that threw Powell as a pad for adrenaline storm. (He's great in that.)
