Christopher Paul Colfer (born May 27, 1990 in Clovis, California) is an American actor, singer and author. He grew up outside of Fresno, CA, doing oral interpretation for the speech team in high school as well as participating in the drama club and doing community theatre, including the role of Kurt von Trapp in ''Theatre/TheSoundOfMusic''.



Colfer actually auditioned for the role of wheelchair-bound nerd Artie, but show creator Ryan Murphy was impressed by Colfer's talent and charm. He scrapped a preplanned character and replaced him with the character of Kurt Hummel (named after Colfer's prior role as Kurt from ''Sound of Music'', and the cherubic Hummel figurines), a CampGay countertenor. Much of Kurt's character is inspired by Colfer and Murphy's own struggles growing up gay. Since the show's premiere, Kurt has become one of Glee's most beloved characters due to Colfer's heartfelt portrayal. Even Website/TelevisionWithoutPity adores him. He won a Golden Globe Award for his work on the series in 2011, and scored Emmy nominations in both 2010 and 2011. He made the Time 100 in 2011, with the piece by Creator/DiannaAgron.

Colfer has expanded his work beyond ''Glee''. He wrote, executive produced and starred in the coming-of-age comedy ''Film/StruckByLightning'' (which had its world premiere at the 2012 Tribeca Film Festival) and wrote the pilot script for a potential television series based on the book ''The Little Lost Witch''.

He also made a series of children's novels titled ''Literature/TheLandOfStories'', publishing the first book in 2012. By 2017 he'd published five more books in the series, along with a few related collections of short stories -- all of which were equally well received.

Currently, he is writing a {{Prequel}} series to ''Literature/TheLandOfStories'' titled ''Literature/TheTaleOfMagic,'' which has been as well received as its predecessor.

He has a thing for Alpacas.
