Jonathan Groff Returning for GLEE's Final Season? 'It's Not Over Yet!' He Teases

In a new interview with ETonline, actor Jonathan Groff talks about a possible return for the final season of GLEE, as well as starring in HBO's ground-breaking series LOOKING and getting his "big break" in Broadway's Spring Awakening.

Speaking on his experience in "Spring Awakening" six years ago, Groff says, "It still feels like my big break and one of the most important projects I've ever done. I'm also still really connected to that group of actors and I love them. It was sort of like the college experience I never had. In some ways it feels like a lifetime ago because we were all so young and sort of starting out together and we've all had plenty of experiences since then."

He adds, "I would say Looking and Spring Awakening are the most important and personal projects I've ever been apart of."

Asked if there was a chance he may reprise his GLEE guest-starring role of Jesse St. James, a love interest of the show's Rachel Berry, played by his BFF Lea Michele, Groff teases, "Oh gosh. I don't, I mean there's still time. Jesse St. James might still pop up. You never know. [Laughs] IT'S NOT OVER yet!"

Commenting on the second season of his hit HBO series LOOKING, Groff says, "The second season response has been really enjoyable because people aren't trying to figure out the show anymore and aren't trying to fit it into the lexicon of other shows but seeing it for itself. Whether it's with the press or other people, talking about the show is really fun because we get to talk about the actual show, storylines, and where the characters are headed, the tone of the show, the style of the show as opposed to trying to decipher what it is."
