Burt Hummel

Glee creator Ryan Murphy has praised cast member Mike O'Malley.
O'Malley stars in the show as Kurt's father Burt and was recently promoted to a series regular.
Murphy has now told The Boston Globe that he wrote the role specifically for O'Malley.
"It's a real tour de force role and I knew what Mike could do," he said. "This isn't an after-school special. This is a working-class dude who's not okay with his son being gay, a guy who's having a tough time. It's heavy and Mike has the ability to cut through the sentiment."
He added: "Mike's talent is deep. I will always write for Mike O'Malley."
O'Malley was recently nominated for an Emmy for his role in Glee.
