HOLLYWOOD, CA: It looks like Darren Criss will be playing Chris Colfer’s boyfriend on “Glee.” Show creator, Ryan Murphy told E! Online that Kurt will have a love interest this year and that the new character, played by Criss, is certainly an option. Criss is the cast’s latest member and he’ll be playing Blaine, a charismatic gay student from a rival glee club, the Dalton Academy Warblers. “He sort of becomes Kurt’s mentor and then maybe love interest,” hints Ryan. “He had to leave his own school because of bullying so Kurt really admires and respects him.” Criss was born and raised in San Francisco, California and attended the University of Michigan. It was in Ann Arbor, Michigan where Darren began wowing audience with his versions of Disney covers, oldies, pop hits and generally cool songs. He plays Harry Potter in the parody play “A Very Potter Musical”.
