It doesn't matter how old I get, I always act like an excited five year-old kid with severe ADD and a waddle at Disneyland.
I don't personally feel a responsibility to be a role model, but as the actor, I do.
I can act... I do a little writing as well. And I'm good at typing. I'm a creative typist, actually.
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.
Due to personal issues, I have been let go from the cast of Glee. Explanations will come shortly,
I grew up doing musical theater.
You'd think after thousands of years on this planet the human race would have released some kind of handbook for teenagers, telling them how to get through teenagehood and get help for their issues. Yet here we are, struggling through it in our own ways.
I was made fun of a lot in high school because of the way I sound and the way I was.
I can sing and dance. I can smile - a lot.
Besides, anyone with an Internet connection feels they have the credentials to critique or belittle anything these days.
I hate mirrors; every time I look in one I see things that could be improved. If I could give my younger self any advice it would be: ‘Take a deep breath, the world is not ending – and do something with your hair.’ I had the same haircut from when I was a toddler all the way through high school, it was this weird side-parting. I didn’t like change.
Cast parties are a lot of fun!
I hate to say I'm a Cinderfella, but I've been watching the Globes since I was an embryo. I got a Facebook message from an elementary school friend who said, 'I remember you standing up and talking about attending the Golden Globes when we were little.'
To Grandma, for being my first editor and giving me the best writing advice I’ve ever received: “Christopher, I think you should wait until you’re done with elementary school before worrying about being a failed writer.
