Character Profile: Artie Abrams

Name: Artie Abrams


Played By: Kevin McHale


Age: 16


Family: Mom and Dad.  Unsure about siblings.


When Artie was 8 years old, he and his mom were in a car accident.  His mom was fine, but he became paralyzed from the waist down.  He uses a wheelchair, but it doesn't define him...unless he has to get a bus ride to sectionals!


He has a heart of gold and a passion for life.  His friends love and respect him because of his cheery nature and sweet personality.  But, he is very sensitive to the fact that he is different than most of his clubmates.  He has a huge crush on his girl Tina because he thinks she understands what it is like to be different (her stutter).  But when he finds out she is lying, he realizes that she isn't the kind of person he thought she was.
