Trivia:

Originally auditioned for the role of Artie on Glee, but did not get it. The casting agents were so impressed with his audition that they wrote the role of Kurt for him. They named the character Kurt Hummel due to Colfer's past role of Kurt in The Sound of Music when he was fourteen and because of his rosy cheeks, which reminded them of Hummel figurines.
