Glee Cast: Where Are They Now?

13. Darren Criss

Glee Season 5
Fox

From the first moment that dreamy warbler Blaine Anderson opened his mouth and belted out 'Teenage Dream' fans knew Darren Criss was destined for greatness, and to say that he's gone from strength-to-strength in the years following Glee's conclusion really would be quite the understatement.

Immediately after wrapping Glee, he returned to Broadway to star in Hedwig and the Angry Inch. Following that, he prioritised his music career by starting the band Computer Games with his brother Chuck, while also making guest appearances in American Horror Story: Hotel and the musical crossover between Supergirl and The Flash (in which his antagonistic role of Music Meister reunited him with Glee co-stars Grant Gustin and Melissa Benoist).

His biggest achievement since, however, was his career-defining performance in The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story which won him both an Emmy and Golden Globe Award. And he's set to reunite with Ryan Murphy again when he plays a leading role in upcoming Netflix drama Hollywood later this year.

From strength-to-strength indeed.
