 When "Glee" was being cast, Monteith's agent, Elena Kirschner, submitted a video of him drumming with some pencils and Tupperware containers.Series creator Ryan Murphy took notice of the video, but pointed out that he had to be singing, as auditioning actors for "Glee" with no theatrical experience were required to prove they could sing and dance as well as act.Monteith submitted a second, musical tape, in which he sang, in his own words, "a cheesy '80s music video-style version" of REO Speedwagon's "Can't Fight This Feeling".
