INTERVIEW SERIES: Glee: Cory Monteith (Finn)
December 9th, 2009 by thetvchick
What has been your favorite part of filming the show so far?
I like the singing parts, honestly. I like the singing parts a lot, they’re a lot of fun.
Was there one point in which you knew your life had changed forever?
I think it was actually recently when we released the soundtrack – we released Volume 1, and we were at Columbus Circle just up the street from here and we came down an escalator, and how loud people were screaming, to see the cast of Glee was remarkable. And we were all like — I remember looking at Lea Michele and we looked at each other and we were like holy crap. Everything is a little different, things have changed, so I think it was recently. Things have changed a lot in the last little while.
Do you have an ideal guest star?
Wow, I don’t know. I keep saying Alec Baldwin but I think he quit acting. He quit acting right? So I’m going to stop saying that. You know, I’m excited for Kristen Chenoweth to come back to the show. I can’t wait to see that. Josh Groban I think is going to come back. Jonathan Groff from Spring Awakening is going to be joining us as a guest star for a few episodes, that will be cool.
Who has been your favorite guest star so far?
Oh, it’s hard to pick favorites! I don’t know — Victor Garber is incredibly talented and [great] to work with. Kristen Chenoweth is such a pro. Everybody’s been great, we have not had a bad experience.
Do you have an ideal song that you would want to sing on the show?
I don’t know what my ideal song is…I love anything REO Speedwagon or Journey or any of these kind of awesome rock ballads. I think they’re great for my character. I’m really looking forward to the Madonna episode that’s coming up in the back 9. I think that’s spot on. I think that’s going to be a really great experience.
What do you want to see from your character going forward?
I would like to see Finn remember the wrong done by him, and kind of grow up a little bit. I could see Finn growing up in the back 9 a little bit. Because he’s had a lot of experiences, so I think he’ll be a little more experienced in the back 9.
The next couple questions I didn’t ask, but I thought I’d include them for all the Cory fans out there:
What do you look for in a woman?
I think intelligence is a wonderful quality. I think passion. I think people who are interested in what they are doing, and passionate about what they are doing is very attractive.
Do you have a special someone?
No. I’m single this holiday season. So I have all the more time for my friends and family.
