According to E! Online, Broadway veteran and GLEE star Lea Michele is setting her sights on the silver screen. Michele told E! that she 'wants to focus on movies and other acting roles.' 

At just 8 years old, Lea Michele made her Broadway debut as "Young Cosette" in "Les Misérables." Since then, she has shared the stage with Broadway greats Audra McDonald and Brian Stokes Mitchell in "Ragtime" as well as with Alfred Molina in "Fiddler on the Roof."

Best known for her role as "Wendla" in the Tony Award-winning Broadway production of "Spring Awakening," Michele was nominated for a Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Actress in a Musical for her performance.

For her work on GLEE, Michele was honored this year with a Golden Globe nomination for Best Television Actress - Comedy or Musical and an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series. Michele was also recently nominated for a 2010 Teen Choice Award for Choice TV Actress: Comedy. In 2009, she was nominated in the Choice TV: Breakout Star Female category.
