When Samuel Larsen joined the "Glee" cast in 2012 at the height of the show's fame, costar Cory Monteith immediately made him feel welcome.Speaking with Insider ahead of the 10th anniversary of the end of "The Glee Project," Larsen said Monteith, who played leading man Finn Hudson on "Glee," was "always incredibly good at taking the new guys under his wing.
He was the main guy — the original main guy," Larsen said. "He was very good at escorting you in and being like, 'You are a TV star now. Welcome. You are safe with me.'Larsen won his role of Joe Hart through season one of "The Glee Project" and said he and Monteith would bond while smoking cigarettes outside, often talking about the lifestyle change of starring on a hit television show. "He was just letting me know what he was doing and where he went wrong or where he went right," he said.
Even stupid things like, 'Hey, if you're gonna go buy nice sunglasses, buy three of them, 'cause you're probably gonna lose some of them,'" Larsen continued. "Or talking about what his journey was when he first started 'Glee,' coming from Canada and getting picked up for a series regular on a show.He added while many other cast members were more focused and business-like, there was "something kind of goofy" about the late actor.
"Cory could kinda laugh at his situation a bit more," he said. "He was like, 'Guys, this is ridiculous, what we're doing.' It was very much like, 'Dude, don't think about the million people that are gonna see it. We're just in the choir room joking around together.'"
