Glenn McCuen

Glenn McCuen (born February 3, 1991) is an American actor, model and former gymnast, best known for his supporting role as Bodie in the 2010 family film Marmaduke, and for his starring role as the narcissistic surfer, Aloe on the Nickelodeon teen sitcom, Bucket & Skinner's Epic Adventures.

Early life Glenn McCuen was born on February 3, 1991, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, to parents Glenn McCuen and Kathy Authement-McCuen. Raised in Houma, Louisiana, with his older sister, Courtney, McCuen attended Lisa Park Elementary and was active in karate until the age of eight, when he decided to follow in his older sister's footsteps and began taking gymnastics. McCuen showed a talent for gymnastics and trained at Jennings Gymnastics in Schriever, Louisiana, until, at the age of ten, the family sold everything they owned and made the move to Plano, Texas, so that he could train at the World Olympic Gymnastics Academy (WOGA).

Career

Gymnast In 2001, at the age of 10, McCuen began his WOGA training in Plano, Texas. McCuen told journalist Dave Walker of The Times-Picayune of his aspirations as a gymnast - "I had a dream. I wanted to go the Olympics and get a gold medal."

In 2006, McCuen began attending Cathryn Sullivan's Acting for Film school in Lewisville, Texas, and in 2008, after an injury that put an end to his Olympic training, decided to explore the possibilities of a full-time career in entertainment. McCuen graduated early from Plano High School and just one week before his 18th birthday, moved to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career.

Personal life McCuen currently lives in Los Angeles, but says he still considers Louisiana home and enjoys going back to visit family who still reside there.
