'Hit Man' star Glen Powell said he struggled to make it as an actor in Los Angeles for over a decade. Now he's getting calls from filmmakers he's dreamed about working with.
At the beginning of his acting career, Glen Powell recalled a casting director's offhand comment that he would be lucky to 'play a dead body' on CSI. That remark stuck with Powell who said he struggled in Los Angeles for over a decade trying to land acting jobs. Despite facing some hurdles along the way, Powell said there was never a point where he considered giving up.'There was a point where I realized that acting is not a meritocracy.
'Co-writing 'Hit Man'One person who's always been in his corner is Oscar-nominated film director Richard Linklater who he's worked with for nearly two decades. The pair teamed up to co-write the film 'Hit Man,' inspired by a true story Powell read about in Texas Monthly about a man posing as a hired assassin.
