From Wikipedia:

Cory Allan Monteith (born May 11, 1982) is a Canadian actor and singer, best known for his role as Finn Hudson in Glee on Fox.

Monteith was born in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, and raised in Victoria, British Columbia. Before becoming an actor, he had several jobs (Wal-Mart people greeter, taxi driver, telemarketer, construction worker.) He started his acting career in Vancouver, British Columbia. He currently resides in Los Angeles, California.

He and Lea Michele, his Glee costar, were included in Entertainment Weekly’s 2009 “Summer Must List”, being named “Summer’s Must Songbirds” for their portrayals of Finn and Rachel on Glee, respectively.

Monteith also never graduated from high school, dropping out in the 9th grade. In an interview he 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.”
