Criss is widely known for his role on FOX’s massively successful musical series “Glee,” from which many of his performances of popular songs would lead to several Billboard-topping records. In 2015 his songwriting also landed an Emmy nomination for “Best Original Music and Lyrics,” from penning the song “This Time” for the show’s series finale. In 2018 his work in Ryan Murphy’s “The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story” received wide critical acclaim, earning him a Primetime Emmy, Golden Globe, Screen Actors Guild, and Critics’ Choice Award. He was also recently seen starring in Netflix’s hit series “Hollywood,” for which he also served as executive producer.

As a stage actor, Criss is a veteran whose Broadway credits include the titular role of “Hedwig and the Angry Inch (2015),” “How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying (2012),” and the most recent 2022 revival of David Mamet’s seminal play “American Buffalo” alongside Laurence Fishburne and Sam Rockwell.
