Glen Powell joins the cast of Family Guy as the Hit Man star gets his own character in the animated series. As the actor has recently reached for the skies with his Netflix release and a rom-com, Anyone But You, he will add another feather to his cap by voicing his own character in the Halloween special episode of the show that will be dropped on Hulu.
According to the trailer released by the makers and the streaming platform, Powell’s character does not appear until the end and the fans get to see him roasting Joe, who stood second in the Pumpkin contest.

In conversation with an entertainment portal, the showrunners Rich Appel and Alec Sulkin talked about what new can be expected of the special episode and why they approached Powell to take up the role in an iconic show.
Speaking of the Twisters star, Appel confessed that they needed an actor who would take up the role of a “cocky” person and there was no better person than Powell to pull it off, claimed the creators.
