‘Glee’ season 5 spoilers: Another new character; see Chris Colfer run

We have a pair of “Glee” stories to share with you this afternoon, and we will begin with what was basically the continuation of the casting information that we first started to share a little earlier in the week.

According to a brand-new report coming in from SpoilerTV, joining some of the formerly-announced female characters in Ryan, Julie, and Ruby, the show is also casting a guy named Henry. Unfortunately, that is really all we know about the character right now. Hopefully, they are going to be someone involved in the New York storyline, mostly since we don’t really need to have any more people keeping us at McKinley High if the plan is to get away from this high school by the end of this season.

Speaking of the New York storyline, you already know that Chris Colfer’s Kurt is located there … but this update has more to do with the actor than the character he is playing. In a video that you can see here, you can check out some highlights of him taking part in this year’s annual Course for the Force benefiting the Make-A-Wish Foundation. While his costume is in no way as amazing as what Alexis Denisof is wearing (a C-3PO gold running suit), he does seem to be enjoying the honor of helping to pass the lightsaber on from Skywalker Ranch all the way down to San Diego, where it will arrive next week just in time for the convention.

What do you think about Colfer’s running skills here? If you want to also check out what some other actors (including Lea Michele and Naya Rivera) are up to, all you have to do is check out the story over here.
