Glee actor hopes gay teens can identify with his character
Chris Colfer, the actor who plays Kurt Hummel in Glee, has said he hopes gay
teenagers can identify with the character.
The 19-year-old star was asked by Digital Spy about whether he thought Kurt could
help gay teenagers.
He said: “I definitely hope so. I decided to play him the way I do because there are a lot
of over- the- top flamboyant loud characters like Kurt on TV.
“I grew up in a small conservative town so I didn't know a lot of people like that, so
that's why I decided to play him that way. I have so many letters and messages and fan
mail. People are relieved to see someone being honest with who they are.”
Kurt's most famous scene to date saw him teaching the football team how to dance to
Beyonce's Single Ladies.
In the next series, which begins airing in the UK on April 19th on E4, Kurt gets a
boyfriend.
Colfer said: "I think it's going to be the first couple of episodes
of the second season, so we've got a while yet. I don't want to
be the downside to the relationship so I'm hoping he's less
good-looking than me!"

On spoilers for the

"We are in a heavy battle
with Vocal Adrenaline and
they are starting to see the
ND as a threat, so they try to
sabotage us a bit and we of
course sabotage them right
back.
"The focus in the next few
