I really didn't want to have to go to a team where I was going to have to go through losing. I wanted to go on a team where everyone was pumped about what they were doing. They're only on the rise, so I figured, they're close to home, I like the coaches, it's location. It fits me.

My interest in acting came from seeing Broadway shows on summer trips to New York as a child.

I was the first guest star asked to appear on 'Glee,' which we all know became huge.
