The verdict
Born in Calgary, Alberta, and raised partly in Victoria, BC, Cory Monteith went from Canadian high school dropout to Glee's Finn Hudson. He never stopped acknowledging his Canadian roots, and Vancouver — where he spent much of his adult life — claimed him completely. Gone too soon. Still ours.
