Chris in BlackBook Magazine - Introducing the 2011 New Regime

Chris



CHRIS COLFER - THE NEW OVERACHIEVER
Chris Colfer, the youngest star on FOX’s boundary-pushing, musical number-heavy cultural phenomenon, Glee. The question: If you could put together the playlist for an episode, which artists would you choose to include? “I’d love to do more Lady Gaga songs, and some Abba,” he says, following a considerable pause. “And, knowing me, I’d choose all kinds of theater.” Knowing his fans, that wouldn’t be a problem.
Colfer has garnered considerable praise for his portrayal of Kurt Hummel, an outwardly strong yet inwardly fragile gay teenager navigating the hornet’s nest that is the show’s William McKinley High School in Lima, Ohio. He received a 2010 Emmy nomination for his performance (“I’m still in shock,” he says) and was quickly elevated to bonafide role model-status by Glee’s devout followers. “I never thought I’d play a character who could inspire so many people,” he says. “It’s a good thing I’ve gone through so many of the same things Kurt is going through—I definitely approach his character from a personal place.”

Raised in Clovis, California, the 20-year-old actor has always had one eye on show business. “I grew up doing community theater,” he says. “I was very, very, very active in high school.” The series, Colfer’s first professional acting gig, came quickly. He graduated from high school in June 2008 and started filming that September, which he’s been doing—almost nonstop—ever since. “Glee is very time consuming,” he says. “We don’t get hiatuses like other shows because as soon as we wrap, we go on a music tour.” Although he cares deeply for the show, Colfer isn’t without other goals. “I would love to be the head of a studio one day,” he says, smiling. “But not an evil studio—a really nice one.” —Nicholas Remsen

I'd kill for some more Abba on Glee too.
And why am I suddenly picturing Chris, Blaine, Finn and Puck dancing to Waterloo with the same outfits as Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth and Papa Skarsgard at the end of Mamma Mia?

YES for ABBA. Need like oxygen.

And thank you for that mental image. Both terrifying and hilarious!

And once again I'm reminded they NEED to do a 40s or 50s theme week in "Glee". Chris ROCKS that Rebel Without A Cause look.

He always looks super hot in B&W.
It's weird seeing the picture where he's all UNF, and then reading the inteview where he's his adorkable self, though.
