Darren Criss and Naya Rivera, \u2018Glee\u2019<\/b><\/p>\n

Acting really comes down to one thing: bringing characters to life. Some of the best acting happens when the actor has nothing in common with his or her character! In \u2018Glee,\u2019 both Darren Criss and Naya Rivera play characters that are different from themselves in one key way:\u00a0they\u2019re gay<\/b>. Criss plays Blaine Anderson, the romantic interest of another gay character on the show, while Rivera\u2019s role is Santana Lopez, a newly outed lesbian who is still trying to find herself.<\/p>\n
