Glee character: Finn Hudson
Full name: Cory Allan Monteith
Nickname(s): Frankenteen
Date of birth: May 11, 1982
Hometown: Calgary, Alberta, Canada (grew up in Victoria, British Columbia)
Currently residing in: Los Angeles
Education: Dropped out of school in 9th grade. Of school, he has said, "It wasn't for me. I can remember ever since about the sixth or seventh grade, I just didn't understand why I had to learn what I was learning. For some reason, there was a spirit of rebellion in me."

Unlike many of his Glee co-stars, Cory didn't jazz-hands his way straight from Broadway to the set of the hit TV show. Before becoming an actor, he held a number of odd jobs, including Wal-Mart greeter, school bus driver, roofer, and cab driver. Once he quit the promising world of unskilled labor, he landed several small-screen and film roles. He nabbed a lead role on the MTV series Kaya, a recurring role on Kyle XY, and guest appearances on Smallville, Supernatural, Stargate SG-1, Flash Gordon, and Interns. Quite the sci-fi resume for someone who didn't get past the ninth grade! His film credits include Final Destination 3, The Invisible, Deck the Halls, and Whisper. Sure, he may die in Final Destination 3 (oops — spoiler alert!), but at least he dies in 3-D!
Random factoid: Cory's Glee audition tape featured him drumming on Tupperware and wine glasses with unsharpened pencils.
