After that major win, everyone was eager to see if Glen could keep the momentum going. Enter: Apollo 10 ½, a delightful film by Richard Linklater that premiered at Sundance last year. Here, Glen shines as a consultant for a local police department who gets a bit too wrapped up in his undercover persona. The chemistry between him and Adria Arjona is off the charts—seriously, that notes app scene? 🔥 Pure magic. If you’re looking for proof that Glen can carry a film on sheer charm alone, this is it!
