Hi everybody! Just writing a small site update post about a couple things.

First of all, the site’s contact form/e-mail address hasn’t been working for the past month or so. I fixed it earlier and replied to the 100+ e-mails that were received. If you tried to contact me and are still waiting for a reply, please send it again!
Two more things about e-mails/contact forms:

#1 Chris Colfer does not receive ANY of the messages you send through Chris-Colfer.Com.
#2 If you expect a reply from me, please double check your e-mail address as a few came back unsent due to inexistent e-mail address. And if you give a wrong e-mail address on purpose, shame on you!

Secondly, I’m once again (well, I never really found anyone lol) looking for a co-web to help around. Some experience working on fansites is a must, and if you can provide with an example of your work it’s even better. I really need some help to keep the site updated, but I don’t want to have someone offer and then just disappear because of lack of experience/interest/time. So only offer if you can update regularly and really want to. You can contact me at webmaster[at]chris-colfer.com

That is all. Thanks for reading!

Chris Colfer’s IMDb page doesn’t say much—Glee is basically his big break and his acting debut, all in one poppy (and extremely popular) package. The 19-year-old from Clovis, California (it’s near Fresno) plays Kurt, the very gay and very fashionable member of New Directions who can hit more high notes than most of his fellow male—and female—glee-clubbers. On a recent Saturday afternoon, I caught up with Colfer—who’s been busier than ever in the wake of Glee’s success—to chat about his character, his new-found fame, and which song he’d most like to sing on the show.

TV.com: How are you? Your schedule sounds pretty crazy!
Chris Colfer: I would be lying if I didn’t say that I am absolutely exhausted. We did the White House and Oprah last weekend, and I personally have been filming every day all day since we got back. So I am a little tired.

Public Appearances > An Evening with Glee – April 26, 2010 x20

Glee has become a cultural phenomenon since its debut on the Fox network less than a year ago. The show has achieved that rarefied combination of critical and commercial acclaim, much to the surprise of those who dubbed the weekly musical a “long shot for success.” Viewers who tune in to the quirky hour long musical situation comedy each week have even pledged their undying loyalty by labeling themselves “Gleeks.”

One of the stars of Glee, Chris Colfer, epitomizes theatre geek-chic playing the complex young Kurt Hummel, a gay teenager torn between his love for the school’s glee club and his desire to fit in. Colfer’s character, Kurt, is enviably comfortable in his own skin one minute and desperately searching for life’s answers the next. I know what you’re thinking… welcome to high school! Isn’t that how we all felt?

Since becoming familiar with the show, Glee has become my own personal antidote to Reality TV fatigue. It’s back to good old fashioned characters we can love and interesting storylines that keep us coming back each week for more.

The fact that Kurt’s sexuality is a mere footnote in the show’s plotline and not what defines him is a refreshing take on things. Colfer’s character is very likely Glee creator Ryan Murphy’s idealized version of what his own high school years should have resembled.

Chris Colfer brings a sweet ironic humor to Glee. As an actor he gets it, that delicate balance that lends itself to impeccable comic timing. He belts out emotional solo numbers while offering up effortless punch lines with a mere expression. The new season of Glee shows Chris Colfer’s character Kurt Hummel coming into his own, both socially and musically, and this Tuesday’s episode (Tuesday, April 27, 2010 9/8c on Fox) is a must see!

Chris and I had a lot of fun as he shared inside stories from the Glee set, revealed his dream guest star, and recalled some of his most exciting moments since becoming part of the TV title wave that is Glee.
