Top 10 Best Glee Actors and Actresses

The Top Ten

  1. Lea Michele

    Lea Michele Sarfati is an American actress, singer, songwriter, and author. She began her career as a child actress on Broadway in productions of Les Misérables, Ragtime, Fiddler on the Roof, and Spring Awakening. Michele rose to international fame as Rachel Berry on Glee and has since released studio... read more

    Lea is an amazing actress. I know it's difficult for people to understand that because of her super duper vocal range, but she is a really good actress.

    Also, she is very attractive (and I'm a girl!).

    She is the best singer ever and one of the few actresses with incredible voice and acting talent. You don't find that easily.

    Just amazing! Great singer, dancer, and actress. Overall, just a brilliant joy to watch. I can really relate to her when she is acting.

  2. Dianna Agron

    Dianna Elise Agron is an American actress, singer, and dancer. In 2006, Agron appeared as Jessica Grant on CSI: NY in one of her first significant television roles. From 2006 to 2007, she had recurring roles on Veronica Mars as Jenny Budosh and Heroes as Debbie Marshall before gaining fame for her role... read more

    When they were doing superlatives, everyone said Dianna was the sweetest, which genuinely shows that she's a sweet person. When she accidentally hit Chris in the face with her leg during the mattress commercial music number, she hugged him immediately.

    Also, during superlatives for the sweetest, she mentioned a background character she was really close with, and multiple minor characters said she treated them like equals, unlike Lea Michele, who thought she was better.

    Not to mention her amazing acting skills and voice. Her voice was the most calming and beautiful in my opinion, and she's a very underrated vocalist.

  3. Darren Criss

    Darren Everett Criss (born February 5, 1987) is an American actor, singer, and songwriter. He rose to fame starring on the television series Glee (2010-2015) and received both Emmy and Golden Globe awards for his leading role as Andrew Cunanan in The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story... read more

    Okay, so the comments suggest Darren was at number twelve for a while, and although number one is where he ought to be, four is a good deal more reasonable than twelve.

    His role on "Glee" helped me find the courage to come out as a lesbian, and his music has since helped me a great deal in my battle with depression and a plethora of other mental health diagnoses.

    He has, by far, the best voice on the show! His tone, versatility, and phrasing are unmatched. He is the best actor on the show as well! I don't see any other Glee star with an Emmy, Golden Globe, SAG, and Critic's Choice Award. Jane Lynch is the only one who comes close (as she has three of the four).

    How Darren ended up at number four, I will never know!

  4. Chris Colfer

    Christopher Paul Colfer (born May 27, 1990) is an American actor, singer, and author. He gained international recognition for his portrayal of Kurt Hummel on the television musical Glee (2009-2015). Colfer's portrayal of Kurt Hummel earned him a Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor in a Series... read more

    He's my idol. My friends think I'm crazy, but his voice is amazing, and he's got the talent! He proves that it doesn't matter what other people think. You're amazing!

    Love Chris! I would write more, but it would take up the whole page! We love you, Chris!

    Oh, please! 2nd? Please, Lea Michele/Rachel Berry is just a spotlight hogger. In Glee, everyone knows or should know that Chris/Kurt is the very best.

    I LOVE HIM. He is so adorable and such a great actor. Also, Kurt is the best character in Glee.

  5. Naya Rivera

    Naya Marie Rivera (January 12, 1987 - July 8, 2020), also known as Naya Rivera Dorsey, was an American actress, singer, and model. She was best known for portraying Santana Lopez on Fox's musical comedy-drama series Glee. Rivera began her career as a child actress and model, and she was the mother of... read more

    Naya is a true performer. She is a pure talent, and her voice has so, so much emotion. She can bring a character to life in an amazing and interesting way.

    Plus, she has so many talents. She can act, sing, and dance. She really inspires me.

    She is so beautiful, and she can dance, sing, act, and model. She can do so many things with the same passion.

    Santana Lopez is one of the most interesting characters on television, and I'm sure she has inspired a lot of people.

    Just watch season three and you will see how amazing she is. She was able to memorize all of her insults easily, especially the one she said to Kurt in episode three of season six that lasted 90 seconds.

  6. Cory Monteith

    Cory Allan Michael Monteith (May 11, 1982 - July 13, 2013) was a Canadian actor and musician best known for his role as Finn Hudson on the Fox television series Glee. He died on July 13, 2013, from mixed drug toxicity involving heroin and alcohol.

    RIP Cory. I wish they'd let him take time off of Glee for recovering from his addiction.

    Also, he gave us "Stay Beautiful" by Taylor Swift, and she liked him, so as a Swiftie, I must too.

    He is my favorite, even though he isn't here any longer. But I know he plays the drums in heaven now and stays away from drugs.

    I loved Finn Hudson. I wish he hadn't died. R.I.P. Cory Monteith, you're still in our hearts.

  7. Jane Lynch

    Jane Marie Lynch is an American actress, singer, and comedian. She is best known for her role as Sue Sylvester on the television series Glee. Lynch has received numerous accolades, including Primetime Emmy and Golden Globe awards.

    Jane Lynch does a great job acting as the character of Sue Sylvester. Sue (though a very good character) isn't one of my top favorites, but I think that Jane Lynch is one of the best actors/actresses and really knows how to get into her role and make the show very entertaining.

  8. Amber Riley

  9. Charice Pempengco

    Jake Zyrus, born Charmaine Clarice Relucio Pempengco, is a Filipino singer who gained international attention through YouTube. He was previously known by the mononym Charice before coming out as a transgender man. Zyrus has appeared on international television programs and released several albums.

    Just an amazing actress and singer. She should become a regular.

  10. Heather Morris

    Heather Morris is a true entertainer. She is an incredible dancer, an amazing actress, and a remarkable singer. She's the only Glee member who can make everyone laugh. It doesn't matter if you are a Gleek or not - when you hear what Brittany says, you laugh.

    Personally, she's one of the biggest talents I've ever seen in my lifetime (believe me, I've seen a whole bunch of them). She is always pretty, stunning, and adorable. Her character Brittany is a lovable character, and her romance with Santana is the best romance on Glee. She should have been #1. She is definitely a star and an awesome role model.

    So understated. It takes a lot of courage to take on a character like Brittany. But when you see her dance, especially in that episode where Brittany was the guest star, you see her true potential.

    Maybe not as vocally superior as the other stars, but boy, Brittany can bring the house down!

    Salling studied at the Los Angeles College of Music before working as a guitar teacher. He also worked as an occasional actor, appearing... read more

  14. Chord Overstreet

  15. Kevin McHale

    He is a shining star. Always a pleasure watching him perform.

  16. Melissa Benoist

    Melissa Marie Benoist is an American actress and singer. She is best known for playing the title character in the CBS and CW superhero drama series Supergirl. Her other credits include Glee and the Broadway musical Beautiful: The Carole King Musical.

    One episode, and it is obvious she is by far the most talented performer in Glee. A true super talent.

    She would have been a better choice for the leader of Glee in the first season!

    Glee wasted such an enormous talent.
