Glee's Chris Colfer is courted at a leather bar in this new photo from Rolling Stone, which features 18 of TV's best characters.
The 20-year-old Emmy nominee was photographed by Robert Trachtenberg at Mother Lode in Wes Hollywood last month.
"I see these gay characters on other programs, and they're always loud and flamboyant," Colfer says, speaking about his Glee character Kurt. "In high school - especially in a conservative town - someone wouldn't be like that. That's why I made Kurt more internal and superior, rather than external and annoying."
As for what he'd like to see for Kurt in the new season?
"I would just like to see him happy," Colfer says. "And to keep inspiring the kids that watch him."
Also photographed for the issue, which features the cast of Mad Men on its cover: Chelsea Handler by Robert Trachtenberg, and Ian Somerhalder by Dan Monick.
