"FacebookPinterest\n\n Even before 24-year-old Darren Criss swooped onto Glee this season as Blaine, the charming lead vocalist of rival all-boy band the Warblers, the kid had a cultish following. Granted, they were all musical-theater nerds. Criss&amp;#39;s previous claim to fame? Playing Harry Potter in a musical parody that went viral on YouTube. &amp;quot;I never imagined it would be viewed by teenagers in Australia,&amp;quot; he says. That kind of stepped-in-it success seems to follow Criss, who\u2014in one short season\u2014swiftly toppled Glee&amp;#39;s record for fastest-selling debut singles with his cover of &amp;quot;Teenage Dream&amp;quot; and snagged the Warblers their own album. (Burn, Lea!) And yet all this stuff is the work equivalent of a hot-stone massage for the actor. &amp;quot;It&amp;#39;s all very relaxing,&amp;quot; he says. &amp;quot;You get a trailer on-set. You get treated really well.&amp;quot; To keep it that way, Criss has devised a way to get around incognito: &amp;quot;I don&amp;#39;t shave when I&amp;#39;m not working.&amp;quot; Not exactly Harry Potter&amp;#39;s invisibility cloak, but it&amp;#39;ll do."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
