The American actor Glen Powell has been establishing himself as one of Hollywood’s most promising names in recent years.
Born on October 21, 1988, in Austin, Texas, he started his career with minor roles in productions such as Spy Kids 3D (2003) and Fast Food Nation (2006). However, he gained recognition for his portrayal of Chad Radwell in the series Scream Queens (2015–2016).
One of his most acclaimed roles was that of astronaut John Glenn in the film Hidden Figures (2016), which tells the story of the African-American women mathematicians who worked at NASA during the space race. However, it was in Top Gun: Maverick (2022) that Powell became a globally recognized face, playing pilot Jake “Hangman” Seresin alongside Tom Cruise.

With his striking charisma and versatile talent, Powell continues to expand his repertoire and is set to be one of cinema’s biggest highlights in the coming years.
