The character of Rory had a lot of potential and Damian's talent was underutilized. I think this was true for a lot of the actors on the show.
I loved, Rory. He honestly was one of my favorite characters. Damian, brought one of the smoothest voices to, Glee. I was bummed he left after season three.
The line when the students tell him to "Go Back to Mexico." As a Mexican-American, I lose it every time haha the ridiculousness of it. Comedy gold!
good to know Lea wasn’t terrible with everyone lmao
I rooted for you to win the Glee Project, Damien! I love your voice, and watch EVERYTHING I see with you in it! You are awesome, and so FREAKING HANDSOME!! Watched you as a young boy with Celtic Thunder, and all the way to adulthood...you are a very talented man! ❤
Loved it when Brittany thought Irish Damian was a leprechaun.
He was adorable on Glee!
I loooved him from the Glee project. I was so happy he was a winner lol
He was so talented, Ryan and the writters didn't do him justice of what he deserved on the show, sale with Samuel.
He’s so diplomatic.
Aww him mentioning cory❤ love damo
I love Damien, he’s always sweet.
Damian was always very sincere!
I love him so much. He's so handsome. I loved him as Rory on Glee 🥰
Love the accent. "Rory" has certainly grown up into a nice looking dude!
What a lovely guy. :)
Wow he aged like wine.
Lovely answer
He has beautiful eyes like a doll.

It’s been awhile since I’ve heard about Damian. I did watch the Glee project and routed for him a lot. I did love the Rory character and sad to see him go after Season 3. Guess he’s living a very quiet life now, still performing though as a part of Celtic Thunder as he does have quite a nice voice

He was my crush on Glee when i was a young girl with ten years old
His talent was wasted on Glee. The writers had no idea what to do with his character.
Wow he's still so cute.
People grow and change. We just saw Lea Michelle on Broadway, she was meant for that part. The chemistry with her cast is noticeable. She and her male lead seemed to purposefully try to make each other laugh, and it worked it was really funny when they broke character. Hoping all can forgive and move on. Glee was/is one of our favorite shows, the talent by all was phenomenal.

Ok? She still traumatized enough people that many of them actually quit show business. Just because she gets along with people now as a way to redeem herself following being exposed by cast members from every single project that she was invited with doesn’t mean that her actions should just be swept away.
He's very careful with his words. lol.

When he was on Glee Project I was rooting for him cause he as a personality and as an actor brings so many potential for exciting storylines. Unfortunately, once he was on Glee, it seems they almost reduced him on being an Irish cliche. I still loved Rory, but it was such a wasted potential.
Why does Damian never age
It’s unfortunate that he was mostly reduced to a background character. And is then deported off screen.

Are you deaf, he literally said he would lunch with both Cory and Lea and that she was pretty nice to him, if she was that awful I wouldn't think he would find it nice to hang out with her, you people will forever hate Lea and will never forgive her even if she got canonized, like for real, get a life and stop hating on this woman for the mistakes she did almost 10 fucking years ago, move the fuck on already.
Shouldn’t even win The Glee Project. His foreign exchange storyline is so redundant….

Beung under pressure is no excuse to bully people and act like your better and make work enviroments a toxic and abusive place for everyone. Im glad she was called on her behavior so everyone knows her true self. Disgusting attitude. Doesnt become anyone, behavibg this way.
Let's not pretend that Lea said a word to a non name guy from Ireland who had zero show business credits. She doesn't talk to regular people, she thinks she's above them all.

Amber Riley came out a while ago and said Lea isn't a racist. And I'm pretty sure Amber wouldn't lie about that because she doesn't even like her and had no reason to lie about it. She acted like a diva and apparently didn't treat people well that she felt were beneath her regardless of race. Not excusing her for being a b*tch when she was younger, but continuing to circulate a false narrative about her being a racist is wrong. She clearly had behavioral issues on set, so I don't blame people for not liking her

She mistreated anyone so it wasn’t only people of colour that were targeted. In saying that, in reference to the comment above I’m not sure how important it is to distinguish that she’s not a “racist” as if you are either a. A non racist or b. A racist. Everybody has some prejudice and internalised racism but Lea time and time again has expressed micro aggressions, so just because she’s horrible to white people as well, I don’t really think it means she’s *not* racist.

@@iapsr she was the one to use the racist word towards her lol, and alex joined in, and so did Amber. If then they retracted because of PR problems is not my problem. Leah Michelle was very rude and her targets were RARELY white people and that's a fact.
She allegedly called extras on set cockroaches and made fun of an actress costume. Of course she wasn’t going to be mean to everyone but from his statement he’s saying she was under a lot of pressure so we should give her a pass for being terrible. That’s a very pretentious take. People keep on supporting these terrible celebrities and then run to cry on social media when an average joe is mean to them. Ok.
Coz he white
what a beautiful respectful man 🥰
