Whether making hilarious passive-aggressive digs at diva Rachel or asking love interest Tina if she wants to “get up on this,” Kevin McHale’s Artie — a skinny nerd with the heart of LL Cool J — gains more fans each week on Glee. It’s well known at this point that, in real life, McHale isn’t in a wheelchair, spent some time in boy band NLT, and is quite the stylish dude. But fresh off of filming the season-one finale, the 21-year old actor gave Vulture some further insight into his life on and off Glee, and gamely answered some commenter questions, too. Yes, everyone — he’ll be rapping soon.

I want another mix exchange. Who's in? Please let me know!

I'm thinking that we can set up an official mix exchange post sometime soon and then everyone can get their assignments June 1 (by my calculations, the last day of Glee Season 1). Mixes can then be revealed June 30ish, sometime around then.

Possible themes are all going to be summer themed. I'm leaning towards road-trip mixes characters would make but if anyone else has any other suggestions I'm totally open to that!
