Glee: Darren Criss Joins the Cast as Kurt's Boyfriend

Ok. So, there's nothing official yet, but according to several sources, singer/actor Darren Criss will join Glee, playing a gay student who is a member of a rival show choir.

A source tells EW.com, Darren Criss's character Blaine - a gay member of the Dalton Academy Warblers, a glee club rival to New Directions -  will at first share a simply platonic relationship with McKinley High’s most out and proud pupil, Kurt.

Well, there it is! Rumors were spreading like crazy when Chord Overstreet's character, Sam, was announced because people initially thought that it's his character that will come out and hook up with Kurt. Probably the same reason why they had a little hint of that with last week's premiere episode where Sam unintentionally - or maybe not - mentioned to Puck,"I dont know, I never had balls in my mouth." Haha.

Anyway, Darren Criss' credits include a role on ABC’s short-lived Eastwick  - as the brother of Matt Dallas’ character - and A Very Potter Musical, which he did as a member of the University of Michigan’s theater company, Team StarKid.

He got cast via the nationwide open casting call that was conducted this summer, originally intended to fill the roles of Kurt’s boyfriend, a male counterpart to Mercedes and a fundamentalist Christian female.

Now, here is his audition video. Frankly, I was totally not sold on this guy until about 30 seconds in. He doesn’t seem to take himself too seriously, which is good for the fabulous cheesefest that is Glee. Haha.

Interesting. But I'm kinda hoping that Sam will be the boyfriend, since Kurt didn't get the quarterback in Season 1.

Will: Somehow, I figured that the producers wouldn't go that far of making a school's quarterback gay. I mean, somehow, they still wanted to play some stereotypes to make it a little relateable. Oh well, what do I know. Hhaa

Will said...

Oh well, sayang. Chord Overstreet looks the part kasi.

DAM THE NATION said...

Will: Really? I don't see it. He looks gay ba? Haha.
