Future Asian & Pacific History Month: Darren Criss' Multifaceted Takeover

Fuse is celebrating Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month by looking at a variety of rising forces who are creating Future Asian and Pacific History before our eyes. While many have entered and gained a mega boost of fame from their Glee days, few are making the variety of impact that Darren Criss is today.

Since his days of playing the beloved Blaine Anderson in the Dalton Academy Warblers, Criss has since gone on to conquer a slew of different areas in Hollywood. He's left his mark in the worlds of...and take a deep breath here...music (releasing a solo EP and currently promoting with his '80s-inspired duo Computer Games), Broadway (acting in successful stints with How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying and Hedwig and the Angry Inch), television (appearing in The Flash, Supergirl, and landing a role in the upcoming American Crime Story series), movies (making his feature film debut in Girl Most Likely alongside Kristen Wiig and Annette Bening), and even festival curation (he co-founded the annual Broadway-pop festival Elsie Fest). All the while, Criss has continued to be staunch advocate and ally to the LGBTQ community, being a major supporter to The Trevor Project, and speaking out for organizations like Rock the Vote, UNICEF, and Amnesty International. Got all that?
