Future Connector – Matthew Morrison
In just over a year, actor Matthew Morrison has gone from a virtual unknown to one of the biggest television sensations on the planet, all thanks to one show - "Glee."
Playing the part of an overly excited and passionate teacher who runs a singing club, "Glee" has become a huge hit for viewers with fans being known simply as 'gleeks'.
Morrison plays Will Schuester and the series has become a global phenomena.
The show features a large number of show tunes and popular hits and the cast voice their own songs. After each show the music is released on iTunes and over the course of the past year, viewers have already downloaded more than seven million digital copies..
Before Morrison's big break on Glee, he was already a hugely successful star on Broadway.
Morrison made his debut on Broadway in the hit musical, "Footloose," followed by a performance in the cult classic "Rocky Horror Picture Show."
Today Matthew is giving back by hosting a Earthday fashion show in LA where the clothing is made entirely of plants.
This is your chance to ask Matthew your questions. Send them in and don't forget to tell us where you're writing from.

Which is your favorite theater role that you've played? Which theater roles would you still like to do?
Had you worked with any of the songwriters on your album before, or any members of your band?
Matt,
Love your passion, dedication and excitement on "GLEE". I wish high school was as much fun when I was still in-the-closet as a gay teen. Times have certainly changed for the better. I wish everyone luck with coming out and accepting themselves for you they really are inside - special!
My favorite musical of all time is "MISS SAIGON". I was born in Saigon in 1975 and our family escaped with nothing more than our lives. I can see you playing (and singing) the role of Chris for the movie-musical adaptation in 2012! You have the right look and sound for the show! Chop chop. Call your agent!
Will you be coming on glee tour in London? I love you! I'm such a gleek!!x
Any chance of performing in Sydney Australia?
What is your favorite song of all time and why? Can't wait for the new series!
I have read that a Springsteen show is the holy grail for the producers of GLEE. You guys did a great job with FIRE last year. Any progress on the Springsteen angle? He would make a cool janitor who walks in one week and helps out!
Hello from Japan,
I am an American, and I was watching the first series volume 8, part 2 of the DVD, when the March 11th Quake hit at 2:46p.m. It was a magnitude 6.8 for our coastal town called : Hitachinaka, south of the epicenter, maybe by 4 hours. Anyways, I'm really into all the songs on Glee, and my two daughters are enjoying watching the DVD series with me in Japanese. But, when they are at school (8th grade & 3rd grade) I watch the series in English since that is my native tongue. my question for you is this; " Can you please do the song 'Saturday Night'?" It's been my favorite song since I was 2yrs. old when my dad got it for me on record.
Do your Best,
A.M.Y.
Hi Matthew, I'm a big fans of yours and Glee. What were your dreams and aspirations as a child and if you weren't an actor what career path would you have chosen?
