Take It Easy, Hogwarts

Worked on a movie set last year and met Kristin Wiig, Darren Criss, Anette Bening and Matt Dillon. Kristin was an absolute sweetheart, so tiny in person;… Darren Criss was GENUINELY the nicest guy I’ve ever met. We were filming until like 3 AM in NYC in freezing weather and he was just bouncy and cute and having a great time. Afterwards when all the crew had to stay to clean up, he hung around for a while and even helped.

My favorite Darren story: So Darren gets Eastwick and then gets Glee, which is great, and then, I work a lot with Walt Disney Imagineering and they needed voices for a new ride in Disneyland called Star Tours, they cast Darren to be a background voice. Darren comes in the office and I said “I need to see you in the Conference room” which means he automatically thinks he’s in trouble. We get into the Conference room and I say “I know you’re really excited about Glee, but you’re going to be doing the voice on the Star Tours” I’m telling you the scream! He’s nothing but a big nerd! His entire reaction was just “oh, my god! Oh, my god!” When he did the session, he had the time of his life.

The multi-talented Darren Criss has had many noteworthy accomplishments over the years. He was one half of the most famous gay primetime couple of this decade on Glee.
