Sci fi fans will probably recognize the 26-year-old from his guest appearances on TV shows including "Smallville," "Supernatural," "Stargate SG-1," and "Flash Gordon" as well as his recurring role on "Kyle XY." In "Glee," Cory Monteith portrays Finn Hudson, the popular and good-looking quarterback who gets recruited to join the Glee Club while trying to protect his reputation with his holier-than-thou cheerleader girlfriend, Quinn.

With the premiere event of "Glee," Lea Michele is on the brink of becoming Hollywood's next big thing. The 22-year-old actress hails from the Broadway stage where she starred alongside Broadway greats in "Ragtime," "Fiddler on the Roof," and "Les Miserables." She's best known for her role as Wendla in "Spring Awakening." Michele plays Rachel Berry in "Glee," the perfectionist singer with dreams of becoming a famous superstar. Rachel isn't exactly the most popular girl in school but as long as she's not anonymous, she'll let the cheerleaders have their glory. She's hoping that with Mr. Schuester heading up the Glee Club, her aspirations of fame will become a reality. And now if only she could snag a leading man…FOX/Matthias Clamer - Tuesday, May, 12, 2009, 1:12 AM

Matthew Morrison got his big Broadway break when he was cast as "Hairspray's" heartthrob Link Larkin and has appeared in several other musicals. He's also turned up numerous times on the small screen with guest-starring roles in popular series like "Numb3rs," "CSI: Miami," "Law & Order: Criminal Intent," and "Ghost Whisperer." In "Glee," Morrison plays Will Schuester, a Spanish teacher who's determined to turn the Glee Club of McKinley High -- composed of misfits and social outcasts -- into a top-notch, award-winning choir. His fellow teachers and wife think he's nuts for taking on such a Herculean task, but Will believes in the talent and drive of the kids and the power of glee, so he'll stop at nothing to prove all his dissenters wrong.FOX/Matthias Clamer - Tuesday, May, 12, 2009, 1:12 AM

Jenna Ushkowitz began her television career as a kid, starring in children's TV shows including "Sesame Street" and "Reading Rainbow" as well as soap opera "As the World Turns." Ushkowitz plays Tina, a rebellious punk rocker of a teen who becomes an unlikely member of the Glee Club. FOX/Matthias Clamer - Tuesday, May, 12, 2009, 1:12 AM

Jessalyn Gilsig -- best known for her roles as Gina Russo, "Nip/Tuck's" resident sex addict with a borderline personality disorder and "Boston Public's" painfully conservative social studies teacher -- re-teams with her pal Ryan Murphy, the man responsible for creating both "Nip" and "Glee." And, once again, the actress is able to spew vitriol all over the screen as Terri Schuester, the crafting-obsessed, irrational, part-time retail-working, pregnant wife of Will, the Glee Club's savior.FOX/Matthias Clamer - Tuesday, May, 12, 2009, 1:12 AM

Though she was once cast in a TV pilot that was never picked up, most of Amber Riley's acting experience has been in theater, making "Glee" her first big foray onto network television. When she was 17, the singer and actress made an attempt to become part of another FOX show -- "American Idol," but didn't make the cut. In "Glee," she plays Mercedes, a diva-in-training who becomes a powerful force in the troupe. Looks like Riley is getting her chance to sing in front of millions of FOX viewers after all.

Mark Salling is a new face to the acting world. The 26-year-old songwriter and musician hails from Dallas and just recently released his very own debut album. Salling plays Puck in "Glee," a football jock who's rather dense. For the life of him, he cannot seem to understand why Finn would want to be a part of loserville and join the Glee Club.FOX/Matthias Clamer - Tuesday, May, 12, 2009, 1:12 AM

Earlier this decade, Jayma Mays graduated from Radford University with a degree in performing arts. Since then, the adorable redhead's career has skyrocketed, and for the past five years, she has made numerous appearances in plenty of high-profile shows including: "Six Feet Under," "Entourage," "How I Met Your Mother," "Heroes" (as Masi Oka's love interest, Charlie), and "Ugly Betty" (as Betty nemesis, who also happened to be named Charlie). This go-round finds Jayma back in high school as Emma Pillsbury, a teacher/germaphobe who agrees to help restore the club in exchange for spending an unhealthy amount of time with her married co-worker/Glee Club sponsor, Will Schuester.FOX/Matthias Clamer - Tuesday, May, 12, 2009, 1:12 AM

This may come as a surprise, but Kevin McHale was once a member of a Plano, TX-based boy band known a NLT (Not Like Them). After finding success with songs such as "She Said, I Said" (produced by Timbaland) and "Karma" (produced by One Republic's Ryan Tedder) on Geffen/Interscope Records, the band broke up, and the bespectacled 20-year-old musician set his sights on an acting career. Following brief stints on "Zoey 101" and "True Blood," Kevin landed on "Glee" as the wheelchair-bound super nerd who happens to rock with the best of 'em.FOX/Matthias Clamer - Tuesday, May, 12, 2009, 1:12 AM

Eighteen-year-old Chris Colfer caught the acting bug at a young age and went on to star in various school productions, including "Shirley Todd," a musical spoof of "Sweeney Todd," which he wrote and directed during his senior year. On "Glee," Colfer portrays the designer dud-sporting, Conan O'Brien-coiffed diva whose penchant for sass, snark, and jazz hands will undoubtedly keep us entertained as he battles his fellow Glee Club members for the spotlight and the school's bullies for the return of his lunch money.FOX/Matthias Clamer - Tuesday, May, 12, 2009, 1:12 AM
