Exclusive: Glee's Cory Monteith "Might Do Construction" Post-Hollywood
"Hello, and welcome to Walmart."
Those used to be the words Glee star Cory Monteith, 28, recited day in and day out as a Walmart greeter. While it's a far cry from his current day job as Finn on Fox's hit show, Monteith appreciates his odd-job stints for helping him grow as an actor, he tells Us Weekly in Glee! The Complete Guide, on sales now.

"If you're an aspiring actor and you want a good character study, you should be a taxi driver for a while -- you see a lot of characters," Monteith tells Us.

2good for him!...maybe that is why he keeps a low profile he is performer...not a media _ hore
There is little 'fun' about construction unless it is your house you are working on. Keep your day job because there are 10 million construction dudes and dudette's looking for work right now, and they are seasoned veteran's who would trade jobs with you anyday.
