Trivia (7)

Howerton was going to study Aerospace Engineering at Auburn University before deciding to attend Juilliard, where he graduated with a B.F.A. in the Actor Training Program. He is a fairly talented vocal mimic and acquits easily to impersonating various dialects, a skill he developed during his "military brat" childhood which require constant moving to different areas and countries.



Glenn Howerton was born in Japan to American parents, Janice and Glenn, a decorated fighter pilot. He has a sister, Courtney. He was raised in several countries (including South Korea and England) as a military brat, eventually graduating from junior high and senior high schools in Montgomery, Alabama. His ancestry is English, Scottish, Irish, German, and, more distantly by his maternal grandfather, Ashkenazi Jewish.





Engaged to actress Jill Latiano as of February 2008, the couple wed in 2009. They have a son, Miles (born 2011).

Enjoys snowboarding, skiing, golf, and basketball.





Howerton is the only writer/actor on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia (2005) to not share a first name with his character as he didn't wish to be associated with such a dislikable character.

Born on exactly the same date as Jonathan Brandis (of "Sidekicks" and "Seaquest DSV" fame).
