Glee returns this September. And guess what? Mike Chang now has parents

Tamlyn Tomita

If you don't already know by now Mike Chang, played by Harry Shum Jr., is not a supporting actor anymore. In this season on Glee, Mike Chang is now one of the main characters alongside fellow Gleemates like Rachel Berry (Lea Michele) and Kurt Hummel (Chris Colfer). Chang now has a larger role in the series so gleeks can get a closer look into Mike Chang's history. Which means, Mike Chang now has parents.

Tamlyn Tomita of The Joy Luck Club and Keong Sim of The Last Airbender will play Chang's mother and father respectively.

This is really exciting news. I think this is a big step for the media. And of course you would see it first on Glee. From a show that disregards what anyone has to say about it, Glee likes to take chances. And it pays off. I just hope the characters are played respectfully.

You won't get to see this duo until October 4th during the third episode, but I bet Glee fans cannot wait.
Check out the new season on Fox starting September 20th!!

Darren Criss talks Broadway, and his role as a regular on Glee

Glee's Darren Criss, known for his role in Youtube's viral hit A Very Potter Musical, was born February 5, 1987 in San Francisco. His father is of Irish descent and his mother is Filipino.

Darren Criss, with that dazzling smile, cute bouncy curls, and beautiful voice won us over as the love interest of the Glee club's Kurt Hummel back in 2010. Recently, at a press conference at Comic Con, Darren revealed his plans for the future. In January, he will be replacing Daniel Radcliffe in How to Succeed In Business Without Really Trying. (Don't worry Radcliffe and Broadway fans, Criss is only filling in.)

We will be seeing a lot of Darren in the year to come.Next year, along with co-star Harry Shum Jr., Criss will be returning to Glee as a cast regular. With Glee's graduation day getting closer, we'll have to wait to see just how much of Darren Criss we will actually get to swoon over.

Hmmm. Glee goes college, anyone? I don't think fans would mind.
