[@lindsaynoble8822]

If you've seen the Assassination of Gianni Versace before watching this interview please tell me im not the only one creeped out by Darren cause his acting is so good

[@kokofreshful]

Lindsay Noble right??? He's extremely good at playing that monster under the surface just waiting to explode.

[@yessibaby03]

For real! Even more when he said he’s half Filipino too!😳😂 LOL it must be the way he speaks and the elegant way he carries himself...

[@yessibaby03]

Oh and he’s from San Francisco!🙈

[@samanthal133]

Currently binging this show and I am on the last episode and I don’t want it to end! Penelope Cruz is crushing her role!

[@chanellergful]

Yes! I was like look at the darkness in his eyes...hes plotting, hes evil....ok chill out he just has dark eyes. Reminding myself hes an actor!!

[@emi_8_4]

Darren: H- The audience: WOOOOOO

[@victoria-zv2mw]

'so I look Italian' 😂😂

[@drahrenzy]

😂😂

[@katsu_papi]

should be Spaniard, as PI was a spanish colony...

[@julie-annebone550]

victoria *as spongebob*: sorry I don’t speak Italian

[@felixdom9693]

He does look like italian and also Spanish too 🤣 what an attractive man he is

[@ninkiminjaj7102]

Darren: It was called a Very Potter Musical Me: *gives a thumbs up*

[@E_Freeman]

That Potter Girl lol I did the exact same thing 😂

[@drunkonkumquats]

same

[@jaydynnelson8406]

Same! Lol

[@neilrhoy7398]

I love how he's so proud of being a half filipino..☺

[@bigfan1041]

I wonder how people would react if he was so proud of being half white xD

[@djluciferypk]

@@bigfan1041 LOL

[@sashabelieb]

well why not

[@wisco9er536]

Well no one makes fun of filipinos anyway, so it's safe to act that way.

[@sliracha]

He's filipino??? Wow

[@jessicaang878]

Darren Criss really nailed playing the role of Andrew Cunanan in ACS’s The Assassination of Gianni Versace. I hope he wins an Emmy.

[@ajem_tv]

He did today

[@victordunson719]

Jessica Ang ,Emmy, Golden Globe and Screen Actor’s Guild Award......

[@eiaaa127]

Most of the time, when you mix Filipino blood with another race, the outcome is a very attractive baby tbh.

[@theartsyzoologist]

So true! Catriona Gray is another good example.

[@amiemcconnell8324]

Tell that to my mirror

[@tob4b1]

I think it’s just Asian in general mix with another race! Some of my favorite Thai actors are mixed....and they’re like sooo gorgeous

[@scoopdg]

And a spree killer too, remember Andrew Cunanan's father was also Filipino.

[@lovelove-ue5jq]

So TRUE my niece is soooooooooo beautiful, she's mixed with philapino, Irish and Italian and black foot indian.her her go down to her feet

[@GreenLanternCorps2814]

Wow, that guy just oozes charisma.

[@iamsultana]

Samuel Khasin Just like Andrew Cunnanan.

[@jailovegarriga3009]

[@katsu_papi]

@@iamsultana the irony, right??

[@hermannn5682]

He just such a charismatic humanitarian.

[@hermannn5682]

*he's😕

[@kiotary6256]

As an AVPM fan from its early days, I'm so happy to see Darren's career evolving like this. So excited to see his future projects! Though he will always be Harry freaking Potter for me.

[@paw24mix]

Gabriela Itzel Nuñez same here

[@hannahvance3798]

same

[@danicolleen2118]

Gabriela Itzel Nuñez I absolutely love Darren though i wasn’t a fan a AVPM until after his career on Glee ended, Which I didn’t even watch until two years after it ended (Apparently I was too young to watch it when it first came out) but then my older sisters friend Told her about Avmp and then she told me about it and we watched it together and that kind of started my love for Darren You cam completely see how he and his career evolved and I really Can’t wait to see him on This show

[@ShaniBellla]

right it's so great, he's just such a gem,

[@garywarmee4367]

NOT ME! For me, I welcome other projects like the dazzling TAOGV , but Darren will always be Blaine Anderson! The captivating Blaine Anderson! And then some...

[@TheMovieMyLife]

Handsome guy. I'd never have guessed that Darren was half Filipino.

[@claireunderwood6447]

He looks like he could be part Iranian.

[@Jayess-c]

TheMovieMyLife it's hard to tell sometimes. James Franco is half Ugandan

[@enguerranddemarigny]

And he has the most gorgeous green eyes EVER !

[@VIPcassey]

Jay C nah...he is partly portuguese

[@AshleyMichele07]

He is half Filipino. His mother is Filipino

[@shawnuel]

Darren did work with Ricky Martin in Glee as well.

[@zacsbabygirlay]

Shawn McLaughlin not technically because at the time Ricky was on, Blaine was away “recovering” from his eye surgery, which I had heard was a way for Darren to be away from the show for a bit while he was on broadway

[@sierracymes8795]

Darren is seriously so self aware, from his A Very Potter Musical days to now- it’s great to see him knowing how far he has come. Go Darren!

[@dfa3366]

Just saw the first episode. Holy cow. This guy is for real. He totally transformed himself into this character. His character is glamorous and chilling at the same time. Great cast especially Edger Ramirez but he really stood out.

[@tovolume]

Darren Criss is so amazing that he disappeared in his role because he looks exactly like Andrew, i want Darren to take on film projects to show his range

[@garywarmee4367]

As an actor, Darren is one who actually earned his La Vida Loca with all his HARD work on Glee! Don't people agree?

[@victoriacazottes8725]

I agree... But I think he earned it with all his hard work with starkid

[@kelseyf1239]

I love that he stills mentions starkid

[@laureneileenmua7726]

Kelsey F he gonna be winning an Oscar one day (and an Emmy this year 😜) and still be mentioning starkid. My heart...

[@elisabettadapelo3727]

Us Italian accept him as one of our own. He’s ours now.

[@callmeswivelhips8229]

Hell, I'd accept him as one of my own too DANG HONEY

[@katsu_papi]

he was wrong though...should've said Spaniard, as the Philippines was a Spanish colony.

[@sarajetlag6496]

Been following Darren’s work since AVPM and I’m genuinely proud of him. He went from doing a weird college musical to being on Broadway and TV and he always stays humble.

[@GreenLanternCorps2814]

Weird? It was great.

[@hannahvance3798]

same

[@mrrd4444]

Glad he's proud to be Filipino

[@leowilson3617]

I've been seriously in-Love with Darren since Glee Day's, ,,,Great that he is in this new mini-series for my enjoyment, ,,,,!

[@hopelovepeace25]

Leo Wilson although the is very good to look at for sure I don’t know if his character in this mini series will be much to look at considering he’s the killer in this series.

[@beccalowry6437]

Leo Wilson I thought the same thing, he is just perfection and damn is his fiancé a lucky, lucky woman. And he just scared the living daylights on the show, they really should just carve his name on that Emmy right now.

[@Spiderman7Bob7]

You are not a sinful person. You just enjoy all good entertainment and Darrel Criss. Enjoy this Palm Sunday.

[@enigmae.6518]

He's just amazing. That's it.

[@jorgearias3940]

I couldn´t agree more Leo Wilson... I still lust for this man!!!!!!!!!

[@singingonew]

I love A Very Potter Musical.

[@jaydynnelson8406]

Same!!!

[@RejaneSantos17]

I smiled through the whole thing! I missed my man doing interviews and working for such a huge project as ACS makes me so proud of him. I fell for him in 2011 because of Glee and I've been hoping for his career to grow ever since. He deserves all the praises he is getting for this job and I hope lots of people fall in love for him and admire his work just as us fans do. We appreciate you, Darren! Lots of love!

[@kjdrizzle9256]

I screamed when he said "I'm half filipino" and "My mom is from Cebu" because I'm a filipino and from Cebu!!!!!!!

[@meganmcclintock8682]

Seeing Darren on Jimmy Kimmel is so TOTALLY AWESOME!!!

[@carolinetaylor3660]

I wasn't aware of Darren pre-Glee but Blaine was my favourite character on the show along with Rachel and I am SO pleased Ryan cast him in this series. Can't wait for it to start.

[@robertakorse]

And i died when he mentioned AVPM:))) I may have fangirled a little too much hahaha

[@_biancabrandi]

I worked on this show with Darren! He truly is an amazing guy. Very passionate about his work, fun to work with and kind to everyone on set!

[@stephaniel2850]

What I still find pretty awesome to this day is that I first became aware of Darren through A Very Potter Musical (which I love), but I learned about the musical *through* the imdb Glee message boards back in Glee's season 1 (since I was a massive Gleek)! And so during the summer after season 1 I distinctly remember being like "how awesome would it be if Darren Criss from AVPM joined Glee!?" And then, low and behold, he became a mainstay of the show from early season 2 onward xD So yeah, I just love that I learned about AVPM/Darren through my Glee fandom, and then Darren came on Glee just months later and became huge for a while :P Plus I'm just in love with his voice and talent over all

[@Ben-yj8ye]

Stephanie L I love how u describe his voice. Yup

[@MsJessilan]

It's Harry freakin' Potter! 😍

[@davidsangels5347]

Love his honesty and his confidence, he's a brilliant person. I can tell how well he was brought up by his parents

[@dailyshananigans]

bruh andrew and darren are both half filipino and half white and they look alike but darren is really the perfect fit

[@Dino13]

Jimmy Kimmel seems so detached from this interview. His staff didn't inform him of Darren at all, he didn't know how he started his career nor his ethnicity. And also he seemed very uninformed about the series, by asking about who was in it and being shocked at hearing Penelope and Ricky were there, and at the end by calling the series a movie until he was corrected. Idk, it seems like his staff didn't make sure he was informed enough to conduct an interview. Darren had to guide this interview himself.

[@redletter2008]

Well, there's many things Jimmy isn't well informed on.

[@bdavis8397]

Dino Asking questions is for the benefit of the audience and what they don't know not what Kimmel knows.

[@Ralph_Smith0724]

Dumb comment. Of course, he knows where Darren is from and about his ethnicity. But, he asks the questions because most viewers don't know about it.

[@chelseaozanic92]

He does seem confused about some of it, but interviewers ask questions like that for the viewers to learn more about the person, too...

[@tuberobotto]

That's because Jimmy's mind is so busy shilling for dems and killary. He does it every so often he gets called out by real intellectuals like Hannity.

[@jenniferhughes7445]

Fond memories of being a part of the Darren Criss Street Team :) The man is a quadruple threat. There is nothing he can't do. I look forward to seeing him win his first Emmy.

[@shelleyjackson7156]

I love how he goes out of his way being a goofy nerdy guy. Then is so polished and professional for certain performances. Will the real Darren Criss please stand up ! 🤔

[@muxajetaptocom]

so proud of him, such a multifaceted talent! and btw, to this day, I still have Gotta Get Back to Hogwarts in my playlist so that'll tell you if he's able to write a good catchy song
