#GlenPowell really, seriously loves movies.

When he was struggling in L.A. early in his career, Powell never once considered going home. But he did consider other jobs in the field—stunts, directing, writing. “There was a moment where I was sitting there where I was thinking, Maybe I could be an exec,” he adds.
