Interview – February 2010

She’s the most famous knocked-up former cheerleader and celibacy-club president on TV. But Dianna Agron—a.k.a. Quinn Fabray, Glee’s sometimes lovable, occasionally manipulative deposed queen bee—nearly bailed on her audition for the show. “I was so nervous,” Agron admits. With her all-American beauty, Agron certainly looked the part, but the producers wondered if she appeared too innocent. “They told me to come back with straight hair and to dress sexier,” she says. “Later that week, I started work.” As the top-rated Glee wraps its first season, the 23-year-old Agron has already completed several films—including The Romantics, an indie flick starring Anna Paquin, Katie Holmes, and Candice Bergen; and Burlesque, a musical headlined by Cher and Christina Aguilera. Agron also writes screenplays; her first, the story of a 28-year-old man’s relationships with three women, is already in development. While  Agron’s scripts aren’t purely autobiographical, her experiences growing up Eloise-style in a high-end hotel—in her case, a San Francisco Hyatt where her father worked as general manager—provided her with plenty of fodder. “I got to see many walks of life—politicians, athletes, Tony Robbins,” she explains. “It was the ultimate fishbowl.”

Agron Sells First Screenplay!

Glee star Dianna Agron is adding writer to her resume – after selling her first movie screenplay.

The 23-year-old actress, who got her big break in the Golden Globe-winning musical series, admits she’s on a lucky streak after finding success with her first screenwriting venture.

She says, “Once a month, try something you don’t think you’d be good at .. You can find such happy surprises. Recently, I got the confidence to write a screenplay – a story about a guy who can’t say ‘I love you’ – and it’s been optioned! “The challenge is getting off your couch and doing it, making the conscious decision to put your (ideas) into motion. You can always find a reason not to try. But unless you become fully invested, you’ll never know what could happen.”

Glee Concert Update

Glee fans will have to wait until April for for the rest of the first season to air, but they can start looking forward to the summer when the cast of Glee heads out on tour.

The show’s stars have taken to Twitter to dish on the new tour, which is expected to kick-off in June. “A big announcement coming at the end of the month about our next Glee tour! Lots of singing and dancing to come!!!!” said Lea Michele. Cory Monteith tweeted, “There is going to be a live Glee concert tour! in select cities; limited appearances. announcement and details soon. so excited!!!”

Dates and cities have yet to be announced but are expected to be revealed at the end of the month. The cast of Glee went on tour to various malls over the Summer last year, but the new Glee tour is expected to be a full-on concert experience.

“We’re going to do what ‘American Idol’ has done and put the kids on the road,” Murphy said to the New York Post. “It all equals revenue streams for Fox.”

The Glee cast will head out on tour once the first season wraps up. Glee returns to Fox on April 13th.

Patrick Harris & Lopez To Guest On Glee?

EW is reporting that not only is the How I Met Your Mother star in negotiations to appear in the Fox Musical/Comedy, but he’s also being lined up to appear in the episode to be guest directed by Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog partner in crime, Joss Whedon, who was announced to be guest directing an episode last October. Not only would it be a Harris/Whedon reunion, but the episode would also bring in Zachary Woodlee, the choreographer behind the 100th episode of How I Met Your Mother that was also a musical.

In a press conference after the ceremonies, Murphy stated (via TV Guide): “I have a meeting with Jennifer Lopez in a couple of weeks – she wants to come on, we want her to be a cafeteria lady.”
