Bendik's most successful nightclub stint was at ADDICTION Nightclub and Beachclub at The Modern Honolulu Hotel in Hawaii. As Director of Nightlife in the renowned VIP club, Bendik was able to channel everything he has known about being in the nightclub industry.  

The Modern Honolulu Hotel previously reported that Bendik started managing nightclubs when he was only 14-years-old.

The death of Becca Tobin's boyfriend is not the first tragedy linked to "Glee". It has been almost a year since Tobin's co-star Cory Monteith, who played lead star Finn Hudson, was found dead from a drug overdose in a Vancouver hotel room. Monteith was 31.

According to the British Columbia Coroners Service, Monteith died from a lethal mix of heroin and alcohol.
