This season we’ll see a lot of our favorite Glee characters graduate from McKinley High School. It got me thinking about which actors might be leaving the series, and how old they actually are! Can you guess which actor is older compared to another? Take this Glee quiz and see how many you can guess correctly!
Some of the answers might surprise you! Don’t Google the answer and cheat! This is just for fun! Answer these first couple questions on a piece of paper (or on a typing program/app). Then, check out the chart below and see if you can guess who’s older: the actor in the first or second column! Answers are revealed below the chart, so don’t scroll down any further until you’re ready to reveal the answers! Good luck!
We used all of the principal cast plus Chord Overstreet, Ashley Fink, and all 4 Glee Project winners Damian McGinty, Sam Larsen, Lindsay Pearce and Alex Newell.
Here are the first three questions!
- Who is the oldest current cast member of Glee who is also a student at McKinley High School?
- Who is the youngest current cast member of Glee who is also a student at McKinley High School?
- Which on-screen couple shares the same birthday (date not year)?
We’ve paired up some of the cast below. Look at both columns in each row and write down who you think is the older of the two!
Did you guess them all? Here are the answers to the first 3 questions:
1. Harry Shum, Jr. (Mike Chang) – 29
2. Damian McGinty (Rory Flannagan) – 19
3. Harry Shum, Jr. and Jenna Ushkowitz share the same birthday (April 28). Harry was born in 1982 while Jenna was born in 1986.
