About this episode

Everybody has someone in their lives who they look at and think, “if it weren't for them I wouldn’t be here.” Generally that person is different for everyone, except when it comes to the cast of Glee…then that person is casting director Robert Ulrich!

Robert joins Jenna and Kevin to dish on how they whittled 50 thousand auditioners to 30, share never-before-heard stories from those auditions and what roles were the hardest to cast.  It's a behind-the-scenes from before there were scenes.
