Casting
In casting Glee , the creator of the series, Ryan Murphy, is looking for actors who can identify in a hurry to star in a theater role. Instead of using traditional network casting calls, Murphy spent three months on Broadway, where he found Matthew Morrison (Will Schuester), who had previously performed on stage at Hairspray and The Light in the Piazza, Lea Michele (Rachel Berry), starring in Spring Awakening , and Jenna Ushkowitz (Tina Cohen-Chang), from Broadway revival The King and I . Rachel's role is specifically written for Michele.
Chris Colfer (Kurt Hummel) initially auditioned for the role of Artie Abrams. Although Colfer had no previous professional experience, Murphy was so impressed with Colfer's appearance that Kurt Hummel's role, named after Kurt's character from The Sound of Music, was created for him.
Auditions of actors without theatrical experience are needed to demonstrate their ability to sing and dance. Jayma Mays (Emma Pillsbury) auditioned with the song "Touch-a, Touch-a, Touch-a, Touch Me" from The Rocky Horror Show , while Cory Monteith (Finn Hudson) initially submitted the recording just acting, and was asked to submit a second music recording, where he sang "RE-music-video 80's version" of REO Speedwagon's "Can not Fight This Feeling". Cory Monteith has regarded casting as "spot on" due to his lack of formal training reflected in his character capabilities, Finn Hudson.
Kevin McHale (Artie Abrams) comes from a boy-band background, having previously been part of the Not Like Them group. She auditioned with the song "Let It Be" and was tested with Colfer and Ushkowitz. McHale explained that the diversity of the player's background reflects the different musical styles in the show itself: "It's a mixture of everything: classic rock, current stuff, R & B. Even musical theater stuff is turned on. Jane Lynch was originally intended to have a recurring role in the show, but became a regular series when the Damon Wayans pilot he did for ABC failed.
Dianna Agron (Quinn Fabray) was the last major actor to be cast, having won the role just days before the pilot began filming. Agron auditioned for Glee from dancing and acting backgrounds. Agron said in a 2009 interview related to the casting session: "I was almost saved at my audition for the show I'm very nervous". With his good looks, Agron certainly saw that part, but the producers wondered if he looked too innocent. Agron said in an interview: "They told me to come back with straight hair and dress sexier.Later that week, I started working." Agron auditioned with Frank Sinatra's "Fly Me to the Moon." The Glee producer says "we are really lucky to find Agron to play Quinn".
