Ryan Murphy to Cast More Than One GLEE PROJECT Finalist?

According to the Hollywood Reporter, GLEE creator Ryan Murphy has revealed that there may be more than one GLEE PROJECT finalist making it into Season 3 of Fox's hit show. Casting director Robert Ulrich told THR: "I do think that all 12 of these kids could not only be on Glee but they will go on to do other things. We will see them all around whether it be in music or in acting, stage or film and theater. I'm hoping that we see more than just the winner on Glee."

On the new reality series, he added, "It gives people a glimpse into this world as well as a boot camp for actors in showing the Glee fans how people prepare, rehearse and record. When I'm casting small parts, I'm always looking for people who can handle much more."
