Trivia Tuesday: Chris Colfer

This week on TT, the ever cute Chris Colfer who plays Kurt.  And I love all the comments we are getting on these posts.  Please feel free to add any trivia that you know that I may have missed!

Chris would like Reba McEntire to guest star on Glee, even though he once said, "I couldn't do country, with all due respect to all country music artists. My parents dressed me up with a cowboy hat and we'd go to the rodeo when I was younger and it traumatized me for life."

During high school, Chris worked at the school cafeteria as a cookie scooper as well as a clerk at a dry cleaners.

Originally auditioned for the role of Artie, but Ryan Murphy wanted to create a role specifically for Chris.  Hence, Kurt was born.

In 2007, Chris lost 40 pounds due to diet and exercise.

Chris has a scar on the left side of his neck from a surgical procedure he had done in 1998.

Chris practices Sai, an ancient form of Japanese weaponry.

Wrote and directed Shirley Todd, a musical spoof of Sweeney Todd during his senior year of high school. He also starred as Mr. Lovett.

Has a sister, Hannah.

Favorite color is blue. 

While he doesn't condone Karaoke, if he was forced, his go-to song is "The Only One" by Melissa Etheridge.

During high school, he was involved with speech and debate, drama, the F.F.A., was president of the writers' club, editor of the school literary magazine, and captain of Destination Imagination

(On the most challenging part of his character in Glee) "There have been a few times when I've joked about 'leaving myself at the door' to fully commit to being him. He does so many things that I would never do or be caught doing, but to actually do them and be forced out of my comfort zone has been a good thing for me. I'm referring to doing the 'Single Ladies' dance in Episode 103."

(On a memorable scene) "It would be the day we filmed the audition scenes in the pilot. We didn't know we were filming them until ten minutes before. We sang live, no pre-records, and the cast and crew would applaud for us. That's probably the day the cast began to grow together. It was an environment full of nothing, but support. I'll remember it forever."

(On his character in Glee) "He's very fashionable. He's very low patience. He's very vogue. He's a lot of things. He's a mess sometimes. I think they've been describing him as the dramatic and fashionable soprano. I think I'm just the soprano part. He's the dramatic, fashionable and fabulous part. And I'm not so much any of those things."
