Glen Powell playing a dumb jock feels like the most natural thing in the world. As natural as breathing, or putting one foot in front of the other. So natural that you’d assume he’d been doing it forever. But the 36-year-old actor has largely managed to escape what could have been a very easy typecasting. Until now.
In Chad Powers, Powell plays disgraced American football player Russ Holliday, whose professional career ends before it's even started when he (literally) drops the ball at a Rose Bowl Game. He also punches a fan and topples a young boy with cancer out of his wheelchair, making him the most hated man in the country.
