Actor Glenn Powell recently gained serious momentum in his career upon debuting his adorable lead role as Charlie in Netflix's '90s-inspired romantic comedy Set It Up. If you haven't watched his latest movie, you might have seen the 29-year-old Texas native in projects like Scream Queens, Everybody Wants Some!!, and Hidden Figures. He's been drawing early comparisons to Tom Hanks [1], largely in part due to his boyish charm, dreamy looks [2], and, undoubtedly, flair for comedy [3]. Like Hanks, he's also known for being a nice guy — heck, even a bit of a grandma's boy [4].
