The circumstances over this past week have absolutely caused me to pause and reflect. Especially on those Glee years. Today, marks #7yearswithoutcory and it still feels unreal and breaks my heart.
Quick story about this leader both on and off the set: At the end of season one, I get a call from an unknown number. It’s Cory asking if he’s going to be seeing me at the season one wrap party later that evening, because he’s appreciated my acting and enjoyed working together. I told him this is the first I’m hearing of it and I didn’t get an invite. He said, “I’ll handle that.” Minutes later, I got an email from Fox officially inviting me to the wrap party. I quickly grabbed my old show choir tux jacket, my dad’s hand me down dress shirt, and headed off to the middle school auditorium where the party was being held! When he saw me, he gave me a big smile and hug and said, “Glad you made it man!” That was Cory. Selfless, sweet, caring, generous. Miss you man. So sad the world is missing out on what you would have kept offering it.
