By Popular Demand: Extra Lea/Cory Trivia

So you have spoken.  You want more Lea and Cory Trivia.  So here goes.  I spent hours (read: minutes) scouring the internet trying to find the best facts and figures for you Gleeks!  Pretty soon, we will also be updating Lea and Cory's bios, so you will be able to find anything (and everything) you want there!

But, for the time being, to satiate your burning desire for tidbits and treasures, here is what I found...

Lea's favorite book is Girl with the Pearl Earring. 

She considers her favorite Broadway star to be her friend Marin Mazzie.

She enjoys baking in her spare time not spent on stage because it relaxes her.

Lea was homeschooled for one year when she lived in Toronto performing in the original cast of Ragtime and again when the show was brought to Broadway.

Lea's first audition for a show was for the Broadway cast of Les Miserables. She did not intend to audition but was accompanying a friend and in support of her friend decided to try for the role. She was cast after the audition in the musical.

Lea considers herself lucky to be an only child because if she had other siblings, her mother would not have been able to take her to every audition and be so supportive of her career.

Her favorite movies are Funny Girl and Almost Famous and her favorite television show is Grey's Anatomy.

When on Broadway at the age of 8, she met Jenna Ushkowitz for the the first time. Eventually, they went their own ways once high school started, but found each other again for Spring Awakening, and finally, Glee!

Cory has secret aspirations to record his own record!

He loves a good breakfast, especially omelettes.

Since I was having trouble finding really great Cory trivia, I looked back at his Twitter starting at the beginning.  If you can't learn about someone from 140 characters, then when can you?  Here are some awesome Cory (@frankenteen) tweets (I have not edited them, but instead preserved them in all of their Monteith glory):

I just sorted my laundry before washing it for the first time ever... totally unnecessary.

can anyone tell me why you have to wash new sheets before you use them? because these seem like perfectly good sheets to me.

Every day I should just come on here and quote 'cypress hill'. 'drop tha hammer! drop tha hammer it's time for action!'

i use big words, and spell them incorrectly! fail.

I know I tweet this everytime I'm on the airplane... but internet at 37000 feet will never, ever get old
...ever been in a hotel room and you can hear the people in the room above you going pee? it's a little disturbing.

A big thanks to the nice folks at Diesel in Yorkville, Toronto! pants that fit are a big plus, I am learning

the whole 'sports fan' thing isn't really sticking with me. I've tried hard, I have! but in the end I just want to watch CNN. LOL.
