In 2018 Renna can be seen on season two of Netflix’s award-nominated comedy series “GLOW.” Produced by Jenji Kohan, “GLOW” follows Ruth Wilder (Alison Brie), a struggling, out of work actress in Los Angeles in the 1980’s, who eventually goes on to create the first women’s wrestling TV show. Renna is a scene stealer as Cupcake, a socially awkward GLOW super-fan. The series is slated to premiere season two summer 2018. Born in Boston, Renna moved to Los Angeles at a young age with his family to pursue acting. At thirteen years old he landed his breakout lead role, starring in 20th Century Fox’s blockbuster hit film “The Sandlot.” 25 years after its release the film is still a cult classic and Renna’s character Hamilton ‘Ham’ Porter remains an icon- with one of his token catch phrases “you’re killing me smalls” still used by kids and adults today.

The film, a dark comedy directed by Jason Schnell and written by Justin Mooney follows two guys (Renna and Tommy Savas) who decide to get a female roommate (Annie Monroe) for all the wrong reasons, forever turning their lives upside down.
