Glen Powell Is Proving To Be One Of The Most Versatile Actors Around

The Actor Has Been On A Hot Streak Since Top Gun: Maverick

Powell has become one of the most prominent names in Hollywood in recent years, capturing audiences with his charm and charisma. While his good looks and talent have quickly made him a standout actor onscreen, one other thing that has aided the 35-year-old’s blossoming career is his versatility. Over the course of his career, Powell has appeared in a range of tasking roles that cut across different genres.

While he’s gained popularity for starring in recent box office hits like Top Gun: Maverick and Anyone But You, Powell looks set to return to the world of TV to take on a new and challenging role. His character on the forthcoming show, Russ Holiday, has been described as a hotshot quarterback whose career plummets due to his bad behavior. To get his career back on track, Holiday has to put on a disguise, pretending to be an experienced player called Chad Powers, in order to be able to try out for a struggling Southern football team.

Powell’s extensive filmography proves that this is the sort of role he will knock out of the park. While his recent work has presented him as a blockbuster actor, his performance on this underrated Ryan Murphy horror TV show from years ago proves just how talented and versatile he is. There’s currently no news on the release release date for Chad Powers, but fans of Powell can rest assured that when it does arrive, the 35-year-old will shine in this new and challenging role.
