Glen Coco Wasn't Paid For His Work in 'Mean Girls'

You most likely remember character Glen Coco (played by actor David Reale) from his one scene in Mean Girls where he scores four whole Candy Cane Grams.

You go Glen Coco!

But it turns out he was never officially part of the cast and therefore was never paid for his zero line role.

Reale did an interview for the 10th anniversary of the enduring film and admitted that he just showed up on set to score a free lunch.

They were shooting the film across from the apartment and after not getting cast in the role he tried out for, Reale went to check things out and nosh during filming.

"I sort of hung around with the background performers and ended up getting lunch because everybody just assumed I was actually hired to be there. At one point the director recognised me from my audition and, as a consolation prize, said something like "Hey, I'm going to put you right in the front on this next scene and you'll have a name and everything.'"

He went on to say, "But I was never 'officially' hired. I never signed anything and so I was never paid. But the free lunch was great."

You go Glen Coco!

Explained Reale of the experience, "Tina Fey wrote the line, Daniel Franzese spoke the line... I just sat in a chair and tried not to stare at Lindsay Lohan. But I guess it was the first time somebody pointed to me on the street and shouted "YOU GO GLEN COCO!" that I knew I was involved in something with a beauty and power that surpassed the mere proliferation of four candy canes to an accidental movie extra."
