The 33-year-old actor is best known for playing Puck on FOX's Glee for six seasons. He is currently filming Adi Shankar's Gods and Secrets.

In 2013, Salling's ex-girlfriend, Roxanne Gorzela, sued him for sexual battery after Salling allegedly forced her to have sex without a condom. Salling denied the charges and the case was settled.
