There are so many stage actors on TV but you wouldn't know they were stage actors. And film and TV actors are going to the stage as well, so the crossover is great now.
I wouldn't be where I am today without the amazing public arts education that I had.
I grew up as an only child. My parents weren't great conversationalists. We had a quiet house. I'm not very verbal.
I'm a mellow guy, and I feel like my music is mellow.
I'm a huge Bob Marley fan; I remember going to Jamaica for the first time when I was a kid and I got so obsessed with the steel drums.
I'd like someone who challenges me, someone who is more beautiful in the inside than they are on the outside.
I don't think anyone wants to be in a role forever.
I actually grew up break-dancing. When you break-dance you listen to hip-hop and rap, so I've been listening to that music since I was a kid.
More people saw the pilot of 'Glee' than saw me in my entire 10-year career on Broadway.
My dad is a nurse midwife, one of about only 50 male midwives in the U.S., I think.
Most of the songs I wrote are personal.
My friends hate me because I do pick up things really quickly.
Everyone thinks I'm a nice guy, which is not a bad way to be perceived.
Fame, you know, it's like a handgun - in the wrong hands, it's dangerous.
