Glen Powell’s Career in Photos: From ‘Spy Kids’ to ‘Twisters’

Glen Powell is quickly becoming one of Hollywood’s most bankable stars. The actor has been in the business for more than two decades now, but the last two years have seen his stock rise considerably with film fans as he proves his scene-stealing skills in dramas, action films, and rom-coms alike.

His latest is Twisters, an action-thriller sequel to 1996’s Twister, which is partly written by Top Gun: Maverick director Joseph Kosinski. The film has just blown away the box office with theatrical sales and features him as Tyler Owens, a famous storm chaser.

And just last month, he headlined Netflix’s popular action-comedy Hit Man, starring as Gary Johnson, a professor who pretends to be a hitman in order to catch people in the act of hiring assassins. The film, which was directed by Richard Linklater, earned a near-perfect score with critics, who almost universally praised Powell’s star power in the pic.

To celebrate Powell’s ability to take both the box office and streaming scene by storm, here’s a look back at Powell’s career, from his earliest days as a background actor and TV guest star to his time in the limelight.
