‘Glee’ actor Mike O’Malley says Cory Monteith was the show’s quarterback on- and off-screen
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. – “Glee” cast member Mike O’Malley say he remembers Cory Monteith, who died this month of an overdose, as a leader on the show.
O’Malley says Monteith, who played quarterback Finn Hudson, was the quarterback on the set as well.
O’Malley plays dad Burt Hummel on the TV show. He told the Television Critics Association on Saturday that Monteith was a welcoming colleague and a talented actor.
He calls his former cast mate a great guy and says he’s missed.
The 31-year-old Monteith was found dead July 13 in a hotel in Vancouver, British Columbia. An autopsy revealed he died of an overdose of heroin and alcohol.
“Glee” is set to begin its fifth season on Sept. 26, a week later than originally scheduled, and a Monteith tribute episode is planned.
