Taraji P. Henson, Octavia Spencer, and Janelle Monáe are the undisputed stars of Hidden Figures [2], but there's another face in the cast that you may have recognized. The film focuses on NASA's pursuit of conquering space in the 1960s, and you can't tell that story without including John Glenn. The astronaut was the face of American space exploration at the time, and my, what a pretty face. Playing him in the film is this guy, Glen Powell:

The reason he looks so familiar is because he starred in the first two seasons of Fox's horror-comedy Scream Queens [4] as preppy frat boy Chad Radwell. No shade to creator Ryan Murphy, but we may or may not have stopped watching after Chad — spoiler alert — was killed off [5]. Powell has also appeared in The Expendables 3, Ride Along 2, and Everybody Wants Some!!, Richard Linklater's 2016 film.
In case you're wondering, the real John Glenn (who died last year), was just as handsome. Here he is circa 1962.
