|'''[[A Very Potter Sequel]]'''}}
Started out in the surprise [[YouTube]] hit and [[Affectionate Parody]] [[A Very Potter Musical]], as the titular character. He banded together with a few fellow University of Michigan students and formed [[Team Starkid]], a theater production company that is now Chicago-based. Among the StarKid projects that he's been in are [[A Very Potter Musical|AVPM]], [[A Very Potter Sequel]], and [[Little White Lie]].
Line 7 ⟶ 8:
Even though he's been quoted as wanting to be an actor who sings and not the other way around, he's inseparable from music. He wrote part of the music for AVPM and [[Me and My Dick]], and all the music for [[A Very Potter Sequel]], as well as for the new musical [[Starship]]. In the meanwhile, he put out his own 5-song EP, “Human”. He loves singing live; give this guy a mike, a guitar, and a stage, and he's a happy man.
After graduation from U of M, he had a role in the short-lived series ''[[Eastwick]]'', and made [http://coldcase.wikia.com/wiki/Reuben_Harris an appearance] in one of the final episodes of ''[[
Fangirl screams reached glass-shattering levels when it was discovered that Ryan Murphy had cast him to play [[Chris Colfer|Kurt Hummel]]'s love interest on ''[[Glee]]''. He plays the character of Blaine Anderson, a openly gay student at the all-boys' school Dalton. Blaine hands out encouragement to Kurt, along with a giant side of [[Unresolved Sexual Tension]] and a massive helping of [[Ho Yay]].
Line 13 ⟶ 14:
Darren's start on [[Glee]] made a huge splash, as his version of “Teenage Dream” featuring the Dalton Warblers (aka the Tufts University Beelzebubs) became the highest-selling Glee song overnight, easily beating out “Don't Stop Believin'”.
Darren made his Broadway debut in the revival of ''[[How to Succeed In Business Without Really Trying]]'' in January 2012. He replaces the original [[Harry Potter (
He's 100% [[Mr. Fanservice]].
Known as an incredibly goofy, extremely nice guy.

* [[Adorkable]]: Just watch any of the videos on his Youtube. He geeks out about the songs he covers in each of them.
** Watch any of his interviews; ten to one, he's dorking out or fanboying something.
Line 41 ⟶ 42:
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]
** He and [[Chris Colfer]] were snarking jointly on Twitter after [[And the Fandom Rejoiced|"Original Song"]] aired, in which their characters kissed. Oh, ''boys.''

'''Chris:''' [http://twitter.com/chriscolfer/status/47929266268147712 I fo' sho' thought "RIP Pavarotti" would be trending before "They Kissed". Tisk tisk. He is rolling in his bedazzled grave.] }}

* [[Mr. Fanservice]]: His photoshoot for [http://www.out.com/slideshows/index.asp?slideshow_title=Darren-Criss-The-New-Kid-on-the-Block&theID=1 Out Magazine] caused one hell of a mess on the Internet.
** Not to mention fans' reactions to his [https://web.archive.org/web/20111116050929/http://www.gq.com/style/wear-it-now/201106/darren-criss-summer-wedding-style-men?slide=1 GQ Magazine] photoshoot.
* ''[[Glee]]'': Auditioned for the part of Finn when the show was originally being cast. Is there actually anyone out there who isn't glad he got Blaine instead?

* [[Nakama]]: [[Team Starkid]]. The outpouring of Twitter support for Darren landing ''[[Glee]]'' was heartwarming. Also, every time he performs solo and one of the Starkids is there, they end up being dragged onstage to sing their signature songs (i.e. Joey Richter dueting with Darren on "Granger Danger", Joe Walker on "Stutter").
