Chris Colfer

Chris Colfer keeps impressing me with his range. The Clovis, California native broke out worldwide as Kurt Hummel on Glee and won a Golden Globe young, but what sets him apart is that he refused to stay just a beloved actor. He writes screenplays and novels, moving from performing stories to creating them himself. I find real backbone in that pivot; people who insist on building worlds in their own words tend to last. Rather than coasting on early fame, he kept widening his toolkit. That restless drive to express himself in new forms is exactly the quality I most respect in a performer.
