To say this was, thus far, the role of his career, would be an understatement. His career probably still has many years to go, but this role was certainly a perfect fit, coming at the right time in his life (he might look too old in just a few years). But aside from the age and shared ethnicity , it seems his acting skills were also a major necessary factor, as recognized by various groups of awards voters who know a thing or two about these things. Perhaps his next venture will be another personal milestone, voicing a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle in an animated movie due this Spring. I believe he showed himself to be a fan of TMNT in the past.

Rewriting my initial criteria to limit things to only people DC appeared with on-screen in Glee would indeed lead to excluding Stamos. But I had been more general, also leaving open the option of some crew and production people attending. The info you usefully report indicates there were no other Glee people in attendance.

Florinaldo March 8, 2019 Share March 8, 2019 (edited) Good TV casting news for Harry Shum Jr. And he should also have a lead role in the Crazy Rich Asians sequel, which might compensate for his part having been cut from the first movie (except for a fleeting appearance in the trailer).

Florinaldo April 26, 2019 Share April 26, 2019 According to Matthew Morrison, don't expect a Glee revival anytime soon. He does mention that the cast still stays in touch and support each other's projects. Although I suspect that not every single last one of the former gleeks really stays in touch with all the other ones, even through the group texting MM mentions. Link to comment

Florinaldo June 7, 2019 Share June 7, 2019 (edited) DC appears in a new Taco Bell ad campaign masquerading as a trailer for an imaginary movie. Very amusing and deliberately cheesy as he himself described it in a tweet. High production values and a convincing parodic storyline; I wonder if some people might be fooled (at least temporarily) and will expect that movie to really turn up on their screens, This is part of an ongoing series and will be screened in cinemas during the summer (in the US I assume, although there are Taco Bell franchises in Canada also). Note what happens to the piano at the end; an intended Glee reference or just a creative coincidence? ETA: You can listen to the complete song at the end of this article and appreciate the full cheesiness of the lyrics. You can also view the previous installments in this ad campaign.

Florinaldo June 10, 2019 Share June 10, 2019 Her performance of "I Cain't Say No" during the broadcast was excellent; I do not remember her being as impressive while on The Glee Project and in her one-off episode of Glee, but of course she has had a few years to mature and train her voice.

Florinaldo July 10, 2019 Share July 10, 2019 DC is set to star in a series on Quibis, the short form service founded by Jeffrey Katzenberg and led by Meg Whitman. The service will offer short segments, around 10 minutes or less. DC will also act as executive producer and compose songs for the show. The subject sounds like having niche appeal, but these days it is difficult to predict what creations will unexpectedly click with enough viewers. The premise seems well suited for the short length though and the Web is very hungry for content. Link to comment
Scarlett45 August 21, 2019 Share August 21, 2019 For those of you that don’t follow Lea on Instagram, she’s been heavily promoting her new Holiday Movie “Same Time Next Christmas”- lots of familiar faces from ABC and The CW are also staring. Link to comment
ElectricBoogaloo November 5, 2019 Share November 5, 2019 The Little Mermaid Live airs on Tuesday night and apparently Amber Riley is the emcee for the event. I'm just glad that Darren Criss wasn't cast as Prince Eric. I thought he was terrible in the Hollywood Bowl version a few years ago. Link to comment
Florinaldo November 5, 2019 Share November 5, 2019 (edited) I thought DC's take on Prince Eric at the Hollywood Bowl was very pleasant and charming, where they were singing songs from the movie. Would he have been able to sustain it for a whole evening in this production? Especially if it is staged along the lines of the Broadway musical, which is a reworking and sounds like it may be more in the tradition of the big belting shows. He had no problems lasting the evening when I saw him perform in Hedwig, but it's in a very different vocal character (as is How to Succeed in Business). Anyway, like several other Glee alumni he is keeping busy with other projects, including being part of the revival American Buffalo by David Mamet on Broadway. There's also this new tidbit; I find the concept of such an award a bit odd. Anyway, he got one for ACS: Versace and if you scroll down the list you will also find Jane Lynch's name for her stint as Sue (as well as Ryan Murphy's, a few times over).

truthaboutluv November 28, 2019 Share November 28, 2019 (edited) So Melissa Benoist (Marley), did a video today, detailing her experience as a victim of domestic violence. It's pretty harrowing stuff, including being held down and punched and slapped repeatedly, having her head slammed into a wall and eventually having a phone thrown at her that caused permanent damage to one of her eyes. She doesn't name her abuser, BUT let's just say based on a number of things she said, like the timing of some of the incidents and her abuser being younger than her, that most are convinced she's talking about Blake Jenner. And that's of course causing quite the reaction, especially since most people to this point were always positive they broke up because she cheated on him with her current husband. People Magazine article about the video. Edited November 28, 2019 by truthaboutluv Link to comment
Pink ranger November 28, 2019 Share November 28, 2019 (edited) Poor Melissa. It’s horrible that she had to go through that. She did mention that Blake would get jealous of her dancing with another man at work. Glee is the most likely job she is referring too. Edited November 30, 2019 by Pink ranger 1 Link to comment

truthaboutluv November 28, 2019 Share November 28, 2019 Well that didn't take long. If there was still any doubt at all that she's clearly talking about Blake, the Internet stay bringing those receipts. Someone pulled up this clip from an interview she did on The Tonight Show, right before Supergirl premiered. Note the story about her eye injury and even creepier, her joking that she looked like squirt from Finding Nemo. The exact thing she says in the video her partner jokingly said to her as they waited in the hospital while she had this injury. And that's why people always say, you never know the truth about anyone's life. Link to comment
ElectricBoogaloo November 29, 2019 Share November 29, 2019 Alex Newell will be on Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist, a musical show starring Jane Levy and Skylar Austin (the show has also cast several other Broadway singers). It premieres on January 7th: 1 Link to comment
Trini January 20, 2020 Share January 20, 2020 'Kevin McHale and Jenna Ushkowitz are hosting a Glee recap podcast' Quote News for you, Gleeks: EW can exclusively reveal that Kevin McHale and Jenna Ushkowitz are recapping season 1 of Ryan Murphy’s musical teen dramedy Glee for a podcast. Starting Jan. 16, the duo who played Artie and Tina on the long-running Fox series (2009-2015), will host Showmance: The Glee Recap for PodcastOne. This will be the second season for McHale and Ushkowitz — the two started recording Showmance last March to chat about their relationship on- and off-screen. But the subject of Glee was raised so much they decided to recap the show. “Throughout the season, it just felt like all of it was Glee love,” Ushkowitz tells EW. “Our Glee fans followed our careers after Glee, and our listeners just wanted more Glee, so we decided to give them what they were asking for!” Lea Michele (Rachel) will be the featured guest on the premiere episode, which, naturally, starts with the Glee pilot. “Kevin and I are wanting to re-watch the show anyway,” Ushkowitz says. “It won’t be too structured. There should be so many new things [to talk about]. Personal moments, reflections now that we may not have wanted to share before. We have such vivid memories about what we were feeling then.” “I feel like there are these older Glee fans,” she continued. “Enough time has passed by to revisit it for the newer fans who were too young to watch it in real-time.” The podcast is part of the LadyGang Network on PodcastOne. It can also be downloaded on Apple. 1 Link to comment

Florinaldo April 11, 2020 Share April 11, 2020 It took a pandemic (and a good cause), but the coming week will see a partial Glee reunion with at least half a dozen former cast members joining together (remotely, of course) to raise funds for the Actors Fund's COVID-19 efforts. Other TV shows and plays are in the line-up, a continuing series of such reunions for this cause, all available on YouTube and the Stars in the House Web site. 2 Link to comment
shantown April 11, 2020 Share April 11, 2020 I’m torn between laughing and being a little ticked that they didn’t include Lea to have the full OG club (minus Cory). Also laughing that Darren will be there - dude never passes up an opportunity to be on screen! 3 Link to comment

Couldn't you say much the same thing about everyone in the entertainment industry (including the other Glee alumni who will be part of this event), save a few lofty and privileged characters? It's part of their job to be visible, since they are freelancers; it ensures they remain in the minds of casting agents and producers. It's roughly the equivalent of regularly sending out your résumé to prospective employers or networking during trade shows or professional events (not these days, of course) for people with regular jobs. Plus, they are doing a good deed with this endeavour, which may be an extra (and sincere) motivation for a number of them. Edited April 12, 2020 by Florinaldo Link to comment

Florinaldo April 13, 2020 Share April 13, 2020 12 hours ago, ElectricBoogaloo said: Some of the original Broadway cast of Spring Awakening reunited for Stars in the House This one and the few others I have sampled from the link I posted above follow the same general pattern: anecdotes, friendly ribbbing, inquiries about what projects got disrupted by the pandemic and nostalgic reminiscences, with variations according to the personalities in each cast. I will assume this is what we can expect for the Glee one. I wonder if that formula of public get-togethers by telepresence will continue after the health situation goes back to near-normal. Probably not as numerous as in recent days, but perhaps more frequently than before the confinement started. Some technical bugs will need to be corrected, especially when someone breaks into song; the efficiency of the various home pick-up mikes is variable and so is the quality of the resulting audio, and there are frequent drop-outs. Also, since the singers do not have monitor speakers they sometimes cannot follow their own performance and adjust accordingly. This was particularly prevalent in the Rosie O'Donnell on-line show of 2 weeks ago, where performers like Patti LuPone, Titus Burgess, Ben Platt etc. frequently faltered because of that; add to that the fact that they sang without a real warm-up. But these Stars in the House clips are mostly talking rather than singing and do not systematically feature musical performances like the O'Donnell show did. They are generally rather long affairs. It will be interesting to see what dynamics the former Gleeks will sustain with each other, now that 5 years have passed since the show went off the air. Link to comment
