Boy Band to Big Time: Matthew Morrison, ‘Glee’

You all know that I love me some Matthew Morrison so I was happy to find this little article in my google alerts this morning!

AS BOYISHLY CUTE choral director Will Schuester on Fox’s hit show “Glee,” Matthew Morrison has sung, danced and even beat-boxed his way into America’s hearts — and iPods. The former Broadway star — along with the ensemble cast of ballad-belting high school misfits — returns for the second half of the show’s season Tuesday at 9:30 p.m.

» EXPRESS: When we last saw Mr. Schuester, he’d dumped his wife and finally connected with Miss Pillsbury. Is this the end of all his drama?
» MORRISON: The drama is never over. We’re going to be exploring a whole new side of Mr. Schuester in these upcoming episodes. After all, he married his high school sweetheart, so this is the first time he’s been single in 15 years. He’ll be making some very bad choices.

» EXPRESS: What other highlights can we expect this season?
» MORRISON: I do a couple big musical numbers with Neil Patrick Harris, who plays an old high school nemesis of mine. Now he’s a member of the school board, and, like everyone else, he wants to get rid of glee club. So, we’re going to battle it out.

» EXPRESS: You’re a former Broadway actor. Was it tough to switch to TV?
» MORRISON: Broadway is romantical. You go on a journey every night. There’s no cutting, there’s no stopping, there’s not a big crew. It’s a really fulfilling way to tell a story. TV is so different, but the end result is so much cooler, because they can take the best of what you do and edit it in a way that’s so incredible.

» EXPRESS: On the show, you’ve performed everything from Broadway to ballads. Any favorites?
» MORRISON: I’ve never rapped before in my life, but I really enjoyed doing “Gold Digger.” I grew up break dancing, so I’m pretty familiar with hip-hop and rap. It was fun to just go for it.
