Earlier this month, Glee creator Ryan Murphy gave me the scoop on two of the three new characters he’s planning to add to the cast in season 2. To recap, those roles are an Eve Harrington-esque rival for Rachel and a gay jock-slash-boyfriend for Kurt.
Well, the time has come for me to exclusively reveal the identity of the third and final Glee newbie…
“The third role is an R&B-singing teen,” Murphy tells me. “A male Mercedes!”
When asked whether the counterparts would duet, ahem, outside the choir room, Murphy teased, “Perhaps.”
Translation: Kurt isn’t the *n** seemingly celibate **ee *h*r***e* **tt*** * *o** i******t *e*t *e****!
As previously reported, Murphy and Co. are launching a nationwide casting call next month to fill all three roles.
Thoughts on Rookie No. 3?

Jason Dohring after a week in Oahu!
Jason Dohring? Huh?
good choice!
What about promoting that nameless Asian backup dancer dude? He’s hot and with a nice smile.
Thank you!! I keep thinking “when are we going to get more ‘other Asian’ facetime”? (for the record, that’s me quoting Sue Sylvester’s reference to the character…)
For sure!
I wanna see something from him as well!
I mean, slick moves and a nice smile…what else are we looking for?
Great idea. That’s what I’ve been rooting for for quite a while.
Harry Shum Jr., Mike Chang is amazing. I love Glee, but it would be amazing if they expanded on the stories of the back-ups too.
Mike is just plain yummy. I dont care how they do it but let’s give him more airtime…!
Yes, please! More of Asian student who came out of nowhere!
I would love for Mike to have more screen time but maybe he doesn’t have the singing chops, and thats why they’re looking for someone else to be Mercedes bf?
I would love that pairing though…and an interracial couple would be great.
He’s an incredible dancer. Let’s see him talk and get a storyline!!
I agree. He’s a great dancer and he’s hot, so I’d love for him to have a larger role.
Harry Shum Jr. is awesome!! Yes, more of him please.
the fact that we have to call him the Asian boy is indicative of how horribly this show treats its ethnic minorities.
