Finn-ished

Cory Monteith has proven once again that things come late to Canada and are usually spelled wroung, providing a self-destructive drug-addled Cory to the Great White Landscape almost 30 years after the Corey phase had ended in the US. The 26-year-old awkward, goofy actor-drummer entered the pantheon of TV immortals as Finn Hudson, star quarterback turned lead show choir singer, on Glee, in a character development arc not at all mirroring Oz on American Pie. He entered the land of mortals following a fatal combination of heroin and champagne in a Vancouver hotel at the age of 31.
