Shankman, 49, who has also worked on “Glee,� has dabbled in acting, production, dancing, choreography and directing during his more than two-decade career.

He most recently served as executive producer and director for Sunday night’s TrevorLive event at the Hollywood Palladium, E! News reported. The event benefited the suicide-prevention nonprofit for LGBT youth, the Trevor Project.

“Last night. :)� Shankman captioned a photo of himself late Monday posing with “Glee� stars Darren Criss and Jane Lynch and “American Idol� alum Adam Lambert.

TMZ noted that Shankman was close with “Glee� star Cory Monteith, who died in July after a struggle with substance abuse, and “Hairspray� star Zac Efron, who reportedly went to rehab twice earlier this year.
