[edit]Monteith was born inCalgary,Alberta,on May 11, 1982,[1][2]the younger son of Ann McGregor, an interior decorator, and Joe Monteith, a soldier who served in thePrincess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry.[3][4]He had an older brother named Shaun. Monteith's parents divorced when he was seven years old,[5]and he and his older brother were raised by their mother inVictoria, British Columbia.[6]After the divorce, he saw little of his father due to military service, and he had social difficulties at school. From age 13, he usedalcoholandmarijuanaand also started playingtruantfrom school.[7]
After attending 16 schools,[8]including alternative programs for troubled teens, Monteith dropped out altogether at age 16.[9]By that time, his drug and alcohol dependency had increased and Monteith turned to petty crimes, such as stealing money from friends and family, to fund his addictions.[6]His mother and a group of friends staged an intervention when he was 19, and he began attending a rehabilitation program.[6]Monteith stated, "I'm lucky on so many counts. I'm lucky to be alive."[10]He eventually received his high school diploma in 2011 from an alternative school he attended in his youth inVictoria.[7]
Before breaking into show business, Monteith worked various jobs, includingWalmartCanadapeople greeter, taxicab driver, mechanic, school bus driver, roofer, and a drummer for a few bands.[7][11][12][13][14]
Career
[edit]2004–2008: Career beginnings
[edit]Monteith began his acting career inVancouver,British Columbia.He had minor roles inFinal Destination 3,Whisper,andDeck the Halls.He had a recurring role inKyle XY.[8]He also made guest appearances in television serials such asSmallville,Supernatural,Flash Gordon,Stargate Atlantis,andStargate SG-1.[12]In 2005, he appeared inKiller Bash,about a tormented geek's soul that was taking revenge on his murderer's children by taking over a girl's twin body. The following year, he made a brief appearance inBloody Mary,cast as Paul. After Maureen Webb suggested Cory take acting classes; Monteith started acting classes withAnthony Meindl.[15]In 2007, he starred in the MTV seriesKayaas Gunnar.[16]
2009–2013:Glee,Bonnie Dune, and film roles
[edit]In 2009, Monteith was cast in theFoxseriesGleeasFinn Hudson.WhenGleewas being cast, Monteith's agent, Elena Kirschner, submitted a video of him drumming with some pencils and Tupperware containers. Series creatorRyan Murphytook notice of the video, but pointed out that he had to be singing, as auditioning actors forGleewith no theatrical experience were required to prove they could sing and dance as well as act.[17][18]Monteith submitted a second, musical tape, in which he sang, in his own words, "a cheesy '80s music video-style version" ofREO Speedwagon's "Can't Fight This Feeling".[18]He then attended a mass audition inLos Angeles;his vocal skills were considered weak, but he later performed very well with one ofGlee'scasting directors, who said that his audition captured Finn's most elusive quality: his "naive, but not stupid, sweetness."[17]Monteith said of his casting process, "I was like a lot of kids, looking for something to be interested in. Something to be passionate about. All you need is permission. Not only forGlee,but for anything in life. "[17]
Finn is the star quarterback of hishigh schoolfootball team, and risks alienation from his friends by joining the school'sglee club.He is a popular jock at the top of the school's social hierarchy, but when forced to join the glee club, he finds he loves it. His story lines have seen him struggle with his decision to stay in the club, which is at the bottom of the social ladder, while he maintains his popular reputation and the respect of the other jocks. The character must deal with his attraction to both head cheerleaderQuinn Fabray(Dianna Agron) and glee club star singerRachel Berry(Lea Michele) and his storylines increasingly focus on his relationship with them both.
Monteith felt that Finn had to "grow up a lot" during his time on the show. He said, "Finn started off as the stereotypical dumb jock but as the show has gone on, Finn's not dumb anymore, really, he's just a little naïve".[19]Early reviews of Finn from television critics were mixed; Emily VanDerWerff ofThe A.V. Clubsaid that he and Michele were "both agreeable and a little desperate for an outlet" in the pilot episode.[20]Commenting on the fifth episode of the first season, Eric Goldman ofIGNwrote, "We got to see a bit of a darker side to Finn... it's good to see this, because up until now, Finn's been a bit too strait-laced to totally invest in."[21]In the second season's eighth episode, "Furt,"Tim Stack ofEntertainment Weeklynoted "It's been a while since we've gotten some Finn focus, and I think I just missed Cory Monteith. But I also forgot what a good, natural actor he can be."[22]Monteith as Finn won the 2011Teen Choice Award for Choice TV: Actor Comedy,the same category he had been nominated for in 2010.[23]Although he was not a singer before being cast as Finn, Monteith sang lead or joint lead on a large number of songs on the show.
Sometime in 2010, Monteith quietly joined the Canadian indie rock band, Bonnie Dune. He'd met the band's lead singer, Justin Wilczynski on the set of MTV's short-lived showKayaon which they both performed music together. Monteith served as the band's drummer and back-up vocalist and contributed to their songwriting. The group was writing songs and preparing for their debut album release up until the time of Monteith's death. Their debut performance in the U.S. was held at theRoxy Theaterin Los Angeles, on January 9, 2011.[24][25]Monteith performed with the band at several nightclubs and festivals across the U.S. to promote their music and garner interest. The band's debut single 'Maybe Tonight' is one of six tracks Monteith actively performed on and helped produce and is included on the EP,Miramar,released on February 4, 2014.[26][27][28]
In May 2010, the cast ofGleewent on a two-week live tour with stops in Los Angeles,Phoenix,Chicago,andNew York City.[29]The cast performed hits from the show and several skits between songs. The following May, the cast went on a second tour with mostly new songs and all-new skits, performing for four weeks in the U.S. and Canada, and 11 days in England and Ireland.[30][31]
In April 2010, Monteith was cast in the romantic comedy movieMonte Carlo.[32]In December 2010, it was announced that Monteith would be starring in and co-producing a new untitled workplace-caper comedy forFox 2000.[33]On August 8, 2010, he co-hosted theTeen Choice Awards.[34]Monteith hosted theGemini Awardsin Toronto on November 13, 2010.[35]
In January 2011, Monteith shot the filmSisters & BrotherswithDustin Milligan,which premiered at theToronto International Film Festivalon September 11.[36][37]Canadian director Gia Milani's filmAll The Wrong Reasonsstars Monteith as "a big box department store manager whose wife is struggling withpost-traumatic stress disorder."Milani suggests he was excited to play his own age in a"heavy role."He filmed his part on weekdays, flying to Los Angeles on weekends to do promotional work forGlee.[38]In 2011, Monteith filmed aPSAfor Straight But Not Narrow, an online PSA organization aimed at changing the minds of young straight people in their attitude and viewpoint towards the LGBT community.[39]In 2012, he hosted the23rd GLAAD Media AwardsinNew York Citywith co-starNaya Rivera.[40]
On July 20, 2013, Ryan Murphy stated in various media outlets that Monteith was set to have a tribute in the third episode of season five, which also dealt with the death of his character Finn Hudson.[41]Monteith's final two films,All the Wrong ReasonsandMcCanick,premiered posthumously at the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival.[42][43]
Personal life
[edit]Relationships
[edit]Monteith began working with American actressLea Michelein 2008 when they were cast as love interests onGlee.[44]In early 2012, the media reported that they had begun dating.[45][46][47]They remained together until his death a year and a half later.[48][49]In December 2013, a few months after Monteith's death, Michele stated that he was a very private person.[50]Michele has released a number of songs about Monteith since his death. These include "If You Say So",which Michele began writing a week after his death and references the last words he said to her,[51]and "Hey You", a follow-up to "If You Say So", released in April 2017.[52]
Substance use
[edit]On March 31, 2013, Monteith's publicist announced that Monteith had admitted himself into a treatment facility for substance addiction.[53]He had previously received substance abuse treatment when he was 19, following a history of drug use that began around the age of 13.[54]According toGleeco-creator Ryan Murphy, Monteith's admission to rehab in March resulted from an emergency intervention on theParamountlot, in which Murphy and other members of theGleecast and crew urged Monteith to accompany doctors to a rehab facility that had been arranged by the show. Monteith agreed, and was consequently written out of the final two episodes ofGlee'sfourth seasonafter being assured that he would still have his job upon his return.[55]On April 26, 2013, it was reported that Monteith had completed his treatment.[56]At the time of his death, Monteith was living in Los Angeles, whereGleewas filmed.[57][58]
Philanthropy
[edit]Monteith was involved in a charitable organization called Project Limelight, a nonprofit performing arts group for children in the VancouverDowntown Eastsidearea.[59]He was also an ambassador forVirgin Unite,which changes how businesses and governments run and interact, and unites people and entrepreneurship to improve people's lives, and was also involved in Chrysalis, which helps homeless people and those living in low-income households maintain employment.[60]
Monteith was also a strong supporter ofLGBT rightsand contributed to different organizations of its kind, including the youth-support organizationThe Trevor Project.[61]Monteith furthermore collaborated with the organization Straight But Not Narrow to promote respect and encouragement from young straight people to their gay counterparts.[62]
Death
[edit]On July 13, 2013, Monteith was found dead in his room at theFairmont Pacific Rimhotel inVancouver.He was 31 years old. Monteith was scheduled to check out that day following a seven-night stay, but when he failed to do so, hotel staff entered his room around noon and found his body. The Vancouver Police Department stated that the cause of death was not immediately apparent, but ruled out foul play.[63]An autopsy was completed by the British Columbia Coroners Service on July 15.[64]The preliminary autopsy report stated that Monteith died from "amixed drug toxicity"consisting ofheroinandalcohol[65][66]and that his death appeared to have been accidental.[67]The final report, released by the British Columbia Coroners Service on October 2, 2013, confirmed these findings. It noted that Monteith also hadcodeineandmorphinein his system at the time of his death, and that he was found with drug paraphernalia that included a spoon with drug residue and a usedhypodermic needle,as well as two empty bottles ofchampagne.The coroner wrote that Monteith had experienced intermittent periods of drug abuse and abstinence throughout his life, and that "after a period of cessation from opioid drug use, a previously tolerated drug concentration level may become toxic and fatal."[68]His stay in rehab only months before his death and his attempt to stay off drugs resulted in his lowered tolerance to the drug.[69]
Monteith's body wascrematedin Vancouver on July 17, following a private viewing by his immediate family and girlfriendLea Michele.[70]On July 25, Michele andGleecreator Ryan Murphy held a celebration of life for Monteith in Los Angeles, attended by cast, crew, and creators of the show, as well as colleagues from the show's network and studio.[71]After consultation with Michele, who also plays Monteith's love interest onGlee,showrunners postponed production ofGlee'sfifth seasonto August rather than late July. Consequently, the season premiered a week later than planned.[55]The season's third episode, "The Quarterback",aired on October 10, 2013, and served as a tribute to Monteith, focusing on the death of his characterFinn Hudson.[72]The show then began a brief hiatus,[55]which lasted until November 7, 2013,[72]due to the extra time that was needed to decide how to proceed with the show following the death.[55]After "The Quarterback" aired, Murphy noted that he had decided to "keep mentioning Finn...We don't just say this is done and we're never going to go back to it, so that resonates throughout the year."[72]
The65th Primetime Emmy Awards,held on September 22, 2013, featured an extended tribute to Monteith by hisGleeco-starJane Lynch,along with four other actors who died in 2013.[73]He was also featured in the "In Memoriam" segment of the56th Grammy Awards.
Shortly after his death,Gleefans raised money to "name a star"for Monteith after being inspired by a scene featuring his character onGlee.[74]On July 8, 2020,Naya Rivera,Monteith'sGleeco-star and close friend,accidentally drowned,and her body was recovered on the seventh anniversary of his death.[75]
