For three years, Darren Criss attended Comic Con as a fan. Now, he’s part of a panel at the convention and kind-sorta wishes he was still a fan, if only for panel-hopping. Criss told TV Guide, “It’s great to be at Comic-Con, but it’s weird to be on the other side because I’ve come for the past three years as a fan, and I gotta say, the other side is a lot more fun. I’m happy to be here for Glee, but there are so many panels I wish could be at. I wish I was there with all the fans.”

As for being promoted to a full-time cast member, Criss honored. Even though he joined the gang in season two, Criss is enthusiastic about where the show is headed, especially since a new writer on the staff described the newbie as “made of unicorn dust.” Genius. And naturally, the question of “what the hell is going to happen to the cast” was raised. Our flavorite Warbler’s response was quite diplomatic:
“Ryan has talked a lot about high school as this journey you go on. You go in as one person and you leave as another. So to put a flag at the end, like this is the finishing point, tells me there’s going to be some really interesting arcs. That tells me there’s going to be really cool developments — that at the end of it, they’re coming out as different people, for better or for worse. … It’ll be bittersweet to me personally because I’ll miss working with those actors. But for them, I think it’ll be good stuff for their stories. And also, for them as actors, it’s only the beginning.
Criss joined co-stars Jenna Ushkowitz, Dot Marie Jones and Harry Shum, Jr at the event this past weekend.
Does anyone know what kind of jacket Darren is wearing and where I could get it? Thanks!
