i think the fact that he is straight, but so comfortable playing a gay character makes him a good role model. gay teens also need to here from someone straight that it's okay to be gay
'We are all everybody. We are all evil, we are all wonderful, we are all meek, we are all strong.' Ok what kind of perfect person can just come out with something like that on impulse, no notes or anything, after being asked a simple question about his dream role? I swear everything he says could be the lyrics to the most beautiful song ever written.
I missed this the first time I watched it because it kept skipping every 2 seconds, but the reference to Hamlet made me ridiculously happy. It's one of my favorite Shakespeare plays. (: And to add more regarding literature, his beliefs are very romantic. I feel like he'd be really into Poe, Keats, Lord Byron, etc. But that's merely an assumption, and I could be very wrong. :P And he has these elaborate, beautiful answers for simple questions. It's just really awesome to hear his responses.
i love how he is so humble. yes the writers came up with the role of blaine, and yes they write the scripts, but the character is nothing without a good actor behind it. darren brings such believability to the role and it is impossible to deny how talented he is. he may not be gay but he still portrayes a very strong character who is very grounded in his beliefs and who will fight for them. without darren behind the role, this "role model" could have been unrelateable or a weak character.
I think that every male under the age of thirty should have Darren Criss as his role model. Following his example would make dating a hell of a lot easier for both people involved.
What if I were to say you are a role model because of who you are and that it has nothing to do with glee, but with your dedication to your passion, friends, and admirers, and your political and social beliefs. And that I believe your talent is what got you to where you are today, and that I am really proud to be a huge starkid /(to a lesser extent) gleek. Explain that compliment away Darren. I dare you :)
Darren is such an amazing and inspirational man but he does not give himself enough credit! He is so talented and I feel like in most interviews he brings himself and his work down. Still, he is supermegafoxyawesomehot ;)
'I'm sort of a goofy dude'... yes you are. I would love to see him as an evil person :) But Darren, you ARE a rolemodel. You're such an inspiration! I wish every straight guy could be so openminded!
"step up to the plate" i was thinking that he would say "and show 'em that im something greattttt" and like bust out Harry Freaking Potter... just me? i just find him so awesome though. im quite a new fan to this whole darrencrissarmy thing, but he's starting to be a HUGE inspiration to me :)
Man this interview shows how well he thinks. And it kinda sucks that he has to own both sides because the interviewer is the most bland boring person that reads the cards. She has no business interviewing anyone
aw, when he talked about Chris! so awesome! they are both such amazing people. i'd wish Darren would turn gay, so they could get married, take over the world and fill it with fairytale animals, very potter quotes, pink sunglasses, sweet music and dance moves.
@redwhiteblue74 Meh. She's okay. I like that she lets him kind of ramble instead of interrupting him every 5 seconds like some other reporters would. I've seen some pretty obnoxious interviewers so she didn't really bother me all that much. But yeah, I see what you mean.
Yeah, you can be a bad guy. I saw you in I Adora You. You were very believable. Also, I completely agree with you on the storytelling aspect. I don't think a movie is good unless the plot is good.
Oh a thought just hit me. If they are going to have hard times in their relationship the only though in my head is "please don't make me hate Kurt or Blaine"
@musiclover6945 :D its the truth. I feel like walking up to him. shaking him and being like "YOU'RE MY EFFING ROLE MODEL DEAL WITH IT", hugging him, and walking away.

His vocabulary makes him so much more attractive.
Somewhere around 1:30 I gained an immense respect for this man.
When Darren speaks for about a minute and then has to ask what the question was. Sigh Darren. You're too adorable
He's just perfect. Can't find any flaws.
Hopefully Golden globe for Versace -well deserved , great performance, great Actor 😄👍. Love Blaine/Klaine role
i love that he always says the sweetest things about Chris :)
I respect this man so much as an actor, as a singer, as a person overall... i love him so much
There is a reason that there are zero dislikes! Darren Criss
Darren seems so awesome I wish I could meet him :(
"we are all everybody. we are all evil, we are all wonderful, we are all meek, we are all strong" I like that
if darren ever left glee, i would probably cry for weeks.
"crap, it's all downhill from here.." Darren, you we're just on broadway. thought I'd throw that in there. you're amazing.
Darren no matter what you do, you can never screw it up, we will always love you!!

If they decide to have me back for season three... Darren you have no idea what's up ahead haha :D
When he said "the craft of acting" Reminded me of his interview in The Potions Master's corner.
i love how he is so humble. yes the writers came up with the role of blaine, and yes they write the scripts, but the character is nothing without a good actor behind it. darren brings such believability to the role and it is impossible to deny how talented he is. he may not be gay but he still portrayes a very strong character who is very grounded in his beliefs and who will fight for them. without darren behind the role, this "role model" could have been unrelateable or a weak character.
All I want to do is sit down and talk with him about life and academics and music and acting and his interests. Please, Darren? Please?
Did anyone else love it when he said 'The kid's 20 years old' ? I replayed it.. Alot
Darren is so humble :)
I fell asleep to this last night. So lovely!
i just love how he gets these questions that can have short and simple answers, but then he makes them into LONg answers XD
I think that every male under the age of thirty should have Darren Criss as his role model. Following his example would make dating a hell of a lot easier for both people involved.
Love how he praises Chris Colfer :)

because of his eyes and/or lips, i can't focus on whatever he's sayin so i watch it over and over again. GOD HELP ME!!
"I was straight" That's past tense Darren ;)
I forget that Chris is younger than Darren..
Darren is such an amazing and inspirational man but he does not give himself enough credit! He is so talented and I feel like in most interviews he brings himself and his work down.
Still, he is supermegafoxyawesomehot ;)
It is fair to say that i am like twice as random as darren criss .. oh and the goofing haha
'I'm sort of a goofy dude'... yes you are. I would love to see him as an evil person :) But Darren, you ARE a rolemodel. You're such an inspiration! I wish every straight guy could be so openminded!
hes just so humble! and dorky, but in an intellectual way ya no??
LOOOOVE his shoes!!!!!!!
He really is a role model and I know he'll do that title justice =)
awww, the insecurities part was awesome..
"step up to the plate" i was thinking that he would say "and show 'em that im something greattttt" and like bust out Harry Freaking Potter... just me? i just find him so awesome though. im quite a new fan to this whole darrencrissarmy thing, but he's starting to be a HUGE inspiration to me :)

I want his shoes so bad.
Oh darren you are such a freaking cutie
HOLY JESUS. I want to see Darren play Hamlet. 0.0
That's bullshit, snape. Darren became a role model completely in his own right.
@redwhiteblue74 Meh. She's okay. I like that she lets him kind of ramble instead of interrupting him every 5 seconds like some other reporters would. I've seen some pretty obnoxious interviewers so she didn't really bother me all that much. But yeah, I see what you mean.

0 dislikes? Ya... that's how Darren Roles......
"I was straight"
WAS Darren??? =)))))))))))))
One word. WAS.
@monkeyaround92 I know RIGHT??
@musiclover6945 :D its the truth. I feel like walking up to him. shaking him and being like "YOU'RE MY EFFING ROLE MODEL DEAL WITH IT", hugging him, and walking away.
I'll do what I can if what you say I am is true (8)
Sorry, that's all I could think of at 4:09 :') HE'S HARRY FREAKIN' POTTER.
can't focus while Darren is talking. maybe it was a bad idea to start an essay while watching these videos. his voice is so distracting :)
Uh... You know, he IS straight. More importantly, he's a straight-ally. And he has a girlfriend.
"Step up to the plate" and "If what you say is true," where have I heard that before? Duh, of course, it's from Harry Freakin' Potter :3
♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♥♡♥♡♥♡♥♡
@Monkeyaround92 can we be friends? Because siriusly, I was so close to posting almost the same thing before I read your comment.
So...Darren's a superhero...?
the sounds messed up on my computer and this just sounds like sex noises alot of the time
@Peaches1300 ten points to dumbeldore! :)
" I was straight." Yo Darren, and now you're Chris Colfers gay boyfriend, we all know ! ♥
@monkeyaround92 I couldn't have said it any other way. Please stop reading my mind :)

Darren...cmon now...YOU were insecure about your appearance???
4.50 Well Darren, you're not the only one who's passionate about Blaine's package ;)
i confused is he gay or straight?
Excuse me but hes not straight at all.. he's a hot gay
