Mark Wayne Salling (/ˈsɔːlɪŋ/; August 17, 1982 – January 30, 2018)[2][3] was an American actor and musician known for his role as Noah "Puck" Puckerman on the television series Glee.[4]
Salling studied at the Los Angeles College of Music before working as a guitar teacher. He also worked as an occasional actor, appearing in Children of the Corn IV: The Gathering (1996) and The Graveyard (2006) before gaining a recurring role in Glee in 2009. Initially a regular character, from the fifth season he was reduced to a recurring guest star role. On the show, he soloed and dueted on cover versions of various songs. Pursuing a music career, he established his own label, Pipe Dreams Records, in partnership with Fontana Distribution. On this label he released an album, Pipe Dreams, in 2010.
In 2015, Salling was arrested for the possession of child pornography.[5] In 2017, he pleaded guilty to the charges as part of a plea deal.[6] He died by suicide on January 30, 2018, before a sentencing hearing scheduled for March 7.[7][8][9]
