“Darren Criss (Beauregarde) is currently attending ACT (the American Conservatory Theater) for his 3rd year. Darren is happy to be back at 42nd Street Moon, having appeared in Fanny and Do I Hear a Waltz? He has also been a part of ACT’s production of A Christmas Carol, along with other productions such as A Mid-Summer Night’s Dream, and The Voyzee Inheritance. Darren is in the seventh grade at Stuart Hall for Boys, and he enjoys music, writing, reading, drama, and art. He plays the violin and also enjoys the piano and guitar. When he grows up, he hopes to become a successful actor.” — 12-year-old Darren Criss’ Bio from Babes in Armes, Performed in 1999 (via chrispaulcolf)

• Glamour: If you were stranded on the side of the road at 3 a.m. and could only call one Glee co-star to pick you up--knowing they would answer the phone--who would it be and why?
• Darren: I think the real question is, ‘Who is a night owl?!’ I know they would all be there for me. But like, I know Lea gets up really early, so I’d probably be screwed. I wouldn’t doubt she’d be there for me, but she’d probably be fast asleep at 3 a.m. I would totally pick Chris [Colfer]. Or Chord, too. Because Chord doesn’t sleep. Or he’d think at 3 a.m. that I have some fun idea to go out and do something! Or Harry. [laughs]

“Darren was the last one in, so he was still at that point where he found everything really funny. So sometimes he would just turn to the person next to him and go ‘this is so funny!’ while on stage. He’d just turn and look at the screen and laugh, and at one point Brian Rosenthal had to smack him on the head because he had to say his lines.” — Nick Strauss, talking about Starkid goof-ups (via colferplz)

“I want to thank Glee for giving Darren the day off.” — Nick Lang [Source] (via superfriends-are-we)

“We get Darren like an hour before he has to read for the show. So, it’s not like he could learn any blocking, learn costume changes, learn lines, learn songs, learn anything. He’s just gonna get there, go, “I’m hungry,” eat a sandwich, and then walk on.” — Matt Lang, interview with The Art of CSFY, x (via allcauseyoulovelovelove)

Just realized I was in the same breathing space as Darren Criss at SDCC 2009. My brother-in-law was going through his old pics and did a double take. Aww - look at Darren’s mini fro…pre-Glee Darren is so cute.

Side note: He did a cameo on the CW show Eastwick so that explains why he was at the booth.

This is really all kinds of cute. It’s actually before he was even cast on Eastwick, he was just there as a fan.

THR: What’s your favorite Comic-Con memory?
Criss: My first Comic-Con I drove directly from a call-back in L.A. for Eastwick and when I got there, I thought it would be funny to go to the Eastwick panel since I was still in wardrobe from the call-back and had my Eastwick pass on me. I saw Rebecca Romijn and told her I’d auditioned as I was getting the pass signed. I ended up working on the show and forever after, Romijn referred to me as the “kid from Comic-Con.” I always have these wonderful serendipities during Comic-Con. [s]
