This channel is crap and inaccurate. Check out their other videos. It would be hilarious if this person wasn't trying to willingly pass off misinformation. I think that's dangerous because of how impressionable many (young) people are online. Just read the comments here. As you've noted, Colfer has had great success with his LAND OF STORIES series. They've even topped the NY Times Bestseller list and have been translated into several languages. Last year, it was announced that the first book, THE WISHING SPELL, was being turned into a movie by 20th Century Fox.
Chris Colfer dropped Hollywood and he’s doing better than most of the glee cast now. Edit: Just saw this again and did not expect it to blow up. Thank you my fellow Chris Colfer stans, for liking and defending Chris.
Let me get this straight, this guy has been working as a screenwriter and successful YA novelist, yet that is viewed as some sort of come down from being an actor for hire, even if on a network show? What was the point of this exactly?
This video hurts my brain. He wasn't "dropped". He himself said recently that he's TURNING DOWN offers so his sole focus can be on the movie that HE wrote, HE is directing that is based off of HIS book. Just because he's not acting doesn't mean he's not doing anything. And, as he's getting offers, people want him. 💁
Carly Reiche & tbh I don’t really care if he doesn’t act in another movie or tv show again. I mean I would love it if he did. But I’ll always have Glee to remember him by
The title of this video is such a reach. . . that man is doing just fine. Being a best selling author of a successful book franchise is waaaaay better than being on a TV. Carries a lot mote longevity. Several actors from Glee are flourishing and doing just fine in their careers.
Ermm... no? He decided to move on as a writer which was what he was truly passionate about. He already started to write his book series 'Land of Stories' while he was still on Glee, and continued to do so after Glee ended. Acting to him right now became more of a hobby rather than a career. So no, Hollywood didn’t drop him, he chose to leave Hollywood
Liana Villadores & tbh I don’t really care if he doesn’t act in another movie or tv show again. I mean I would love it if he ever does. But I’ll always have Glee. Trust me I’ll be just fine
I think that Comparing Darren and Chris would just rely on who ur biased to, Darren is a famous actor and Chris is a famous Writer, they are both doing amazing- Also how come no one is talking about how good Jonathon Groth/ Jesse Saint James is doing, man was one of the funniest Hamilton stars!
Would you believe it that the Glee writers wrote a character for Chris? Legend has it that they wanted to have an Indian kid in the glee club but they nicked that character off and made Kurt Hummel after one of Chris’ acting jobs in the sound of music.
He is a successful author of children’s books which hit the bestseller’s list. That’s his real talent which not everyone can do. Publish a hit book? That’s amazing!
I’m so unbelievably proud of this man you have no idea. He’s such a role model for me and I’m so glad he’s doing such a wonderful job with his writing.
It’s sad. I wanted to see Chris do more shows, but he didn’t like acting. He preferred writing and although he’s now a super successful children’s author, I miss seeing him on screen
I've just read his book "Stranger than fanfiction" and it was amazing! Very fun, suddenly touching, and very in time for me, a young adult. I had a guess that author is an actor himself, but it took me completely off guard then someone said his name outside of book writing context. I didn't realised I already "knew" him even before I read his book
It’s such a shame that people seem to think that writing is a step down from acting. Hollywood didn’t drop Chris, Chris dropped Hollywood. He is pursuing his passion.
This video makes it seem like Chris wasn't successful because he wasn't on Broadway. Broadway didn't drop him. If anything, he dropped Broadway. He decided to be a writer. He has written at least eight New York Best Sellers, and he has also directed and written movies. He's very successful and also absolutely awesome.
Hollywood didnt drop him.. he just like what hes doing now behind the camera rather than in front of the camera.. and not only him, but even the other casts of Glee, they are successful now.. Glee did help them a lot..
He is a great actor... But writing is his passion and he chose to do that and doing so well. His novels are best selling books... .....To the haters he is an amazing person and true inspiration that you never can be....
When she talks about Chris never being forgotten as Kurt... I believe that. When I saw Emma’s fiancé “Carl” for the first time, my mind instantly said “Uncle Jesse”
I mean Matthew Morrison had a starring role on Broadway. And Amber Riley won an Olivier award for her role in Dreamgirls. May not be “tv success” but they are doing well!
He was not dropped. He chose to be a writer. The making of the show actually hurt him. Santana's rant was attacking things Chris didn't like about himself, and he's said that this hurt him.
Chris Colfer is an AMAZING human being. I really hope he writes another series related to The Land of Stories bc I hate reading but those books just make me happy and they are the first books I ever cried about... and I NEVER cry ever so yeah and IM SO EXCITED FOR THE MOVIE 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I've always liked Chris, I even read the books he wrote even though they're kids books. I gotta say I really liked them, I love fairytale reimaginings like the 10th Kingdom and I'd love to see his books get adaptations.
He had so much going for him! I personally blame the disastrous Percy Jackson adaptations for his fall. Those movies were god awful and the entire cast suffered.
Which TV star should we feature next?
Logan Lerman from Percy Jackson! Whatever happened to him?
Lea michele or dianna agron
Basically the entire Glee cast.
darren chris
Emile Hersch
Hollywood didn't drop Chris Colfer.
Chris Colfer dropped Hollywood.
Im the 69th like
@@tpgeek7688 nice
Yes
FACTSSSS
Preachhhhh🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Seriously? He's a writer now. Just because he chooses not to act anymore doesn't mean Hollywood "dropped" him.

This channel makes these videos about every celebrity, they have one about Cameron Diaz and we all know she’s doing great.
made you click, though
You are sooo right
He’s directing, producing, and writing a movie for 20th Century Fox based on his New York Times Best Selling book..... I think he’s doing just fine.
Cayli Duttry truth
is he making a movie based on his books? OH MY I CANT BE MORE THRILLED THAN EVER
@@florence944 I'M SO EXCITED TOO!!!!
Which one? I’ve been wanting a The Land of Stories movie for years.
How's the movie now?
Hollywood didn’t drop Chris, Chris dropped Hollywood.
Yeah! Its true
As he should
Should be titled "Why we don't see Chris Colfer anymore" since he wasn't dropped and chose to move his focus
lets be honest, hollywood dropped nearly all of the glee cast.
Trinity Gilreath as a side character she doesn’t sing one bit
Aaron Burr Atwood. 2 people every other person is on tour
@Trinity Gilreath Also Darren Chris on American Crime Story.
There was a lot of buzz around Darren Criss with his role in American Crime Story. He won an Emmy for it.
Harry Shum JR is doing GREAT!
The thing I've learned from this channel: No one gets hired by Hollywood anymore lol
Katara LOL
Next on this channel: Why Hollywood won't cast Jennifer Lawrence anymore
Yup, it is either you sell your soul to the Devil to earn fame and fortune or you get dropped and attain nothing.
Chris is sexy as hell I love him on GLEE!

Chris Colfer dropped Hollywood and he’s doing better than most of the glee cast now.
Edit: Just saw this again and did not expect it to blow up. Thank you my fellow Chris Colfer stans, for liking and defending Chris.
seta phor half the cast are dead
Blake Laurie only 2
Isn’t Samuel Larsen (the guy who played Joe Hart) doing modeling, movies and music?
Waddles Penguin who died, cory/ finn and who?
Rowankeenanx3 The guy who played Puck
Let me get this straight, this guy has been working as a screenwriter and successful YA novelist, yet that is viewed as some sort of come down from being an actor for hire, even if on a network show? What was the point of this exactly?
I have absolutely no idea. Chris is doing splendidly without Hollywood and actually he dropped them to peruse other things.
Nothing. Actors are hired hands. Colfer decided he wanted power and one day, he'll be running the Town. He's already on his way.
This video hurts my brain. He wasn't "dropped". He himself said recently that he's TURNING DOWN offers so his sole focus can be on the movie that HE wrote, HE is directing that is based off of HIS book.

Yeah! This video has zero facts and is all speculation. Couldn’t even watch all the way through.
The title of this video is such a reach. . . that man is doing just fine. Being a best selling author of a successful book franchise is waaaaay better than being on a TV. Carries a lot mote longevity. Several actors from Glee are flourishing and doing just fine in their careers.
Nobody dropoed Chris. Chris is a NY Times best selling author. He is actually making his books into a big budget Hollywood movie.
OMG REALLY
@@jessicarhee1147 That is the movie he’s writing．
i think you mean: “why Chris Colfer dropped Hollywood”
Thankyou
Hollywood didn't drop him; he focused on being an author and is literally making a movie right now with FOX for his own book sooo
Wow. That was unnecessarily mean. 🙄 Dude is doing very well for himself as an author.
Um... He's an successful author right now so he's fine
@Dr.Science they said his children's book series in the video and if you look him up they say it
read the title and go back to that part. It's not saying he isn't successful anymore just why he isn't hired anymore. 👀😒
His books aren't well known. He's no J.K Rowling
If you're not the target audience of course you won't know his books
@@rachellice7316 Most writers aren't jk rowling, doesn't mean he's not successful.
Ermm... no? He decided to move on as a writer which was what he was truly passionate about.

Liana Villadores & tbh I don’t really care if he doesn’t act in another movie or tv show again. I mean I would love it if he ever does. But I’ll always have Glee. Trust me I’ll be just fine
He is more succesful than 98% of the glee cast 😂
Besides Darren Criss
pretty much
Factsssss
@@milomcknight8011 They're both doing fine in their own thing
I think that Comparing Darren and Chris would just rely on who ur biased to, Darren is a famous actor and Chris is a famous Writer, they are both doing amazing-
Also how come no one is talking about how good Jonathon Groth/ Jesse Saint James is doing, man was one of the funniest Hamilton stars!
HE CHOSE TO BECOME AN AUTHOR. HE WASN'T DROPPED.
Chris was NEVER dropped! He’s doing better than any of his co-stars. Just because he’s not acting doesn’t mean he was dropped, and that’s on period!
He should be on Broadway
YESSS
As a BIG FAN of the land of stories , i'd say he's doing fine
How old r u
Seems to me he’s doing just fine. This channel is reaching with this video title.
Agreed. They do that with a lot of actors actually.
He is so full of talent I hope everything shines for him
He dropped Hollywood unfortunately
Would you believe it that the Glee writers wrote a character for Chris? Legend has it that they wanted to have an Indian kid in the glee club but they nicked that character off and made Kurt Hummel after one of Chris’ acting jobs in the sound of music.
And the name Kurt was chosen because he resembled Kurt von Trapp, role he also played as a child.
Bro he was just on Jimmy Fallon
This channel needs to stop coming for certain people. He is doing fine. Stop reachin
He is a successful author of children’s books which hit the bestseller’s list. That’s his real talent which not everyone can do. Publish a hit book? That’s amazing!
I LOVE the Land of Stories!!! I was pleasantly surprised when I saw he was the author
OKAY BUT LIKE I HAD NO IDEA HE WAS THE AUTHOR PAND OF STORIES AND JSKSJSKSJDKDBDJDH
I’m so unbelievably proud of this man you have no idea. He’s such a role model for me and I’m so glad he’s doing such a wonderful job with his writing.
It’s sad. I wanted to see Chris do more shows, but he didn’t like acting. He preferred writing and although he’s now a super successful children’s author, I miss seeing him on screen
He’s so precious
I think it's unfair to say that actors who go on to do other things are 'dropped' by Hollywood. Maybe they "dropped" Hollywood.
Colfer is awesome
I've just read his book "Stranger than fanfiction" and it was amazing! Very fun, suddenly touching, and very in time for me, a young adult.
I had a guess that author is an actor himself, but it took me completely off guard then someone said his name outside of book writing context. I didn't realised I already "knew" him even before I read his book
I just found out that Chris Colfer is now a bestseller in Austria and Germany too. I think he doing just great! haha
So what you're saying is ... he wasn't dropped at all?
I'll Support anything Chris does
Hey he’s a writter now and he said in an interview that one day he’ll get infront of the camera again he’s doing good dont do chris like that ;(
your making something of nothing, he evolved to behind the scene like many actors
I loved him and still do, kurt is my life. I only watch the scenes from glee with kurt in
He dropped Hollywood really tbh
It’s such a shame that people seem to think that writing is a step down from acting. Hollywood didn’t drop Chris, Chris dropped Hollywood. He is pursuing his passion.
I wouldn't be surprised if someday he's running his own studio.
Are you kidding? He’s been busy for 4 years writing books etc... he’s only 29 years old.
Hey, they didn’t! He choose to focus on being a writer after Glee!!
It's not "why did Hollywood drop Chris Colfer"
It's "Why Chris Colfer dropped Hollywood"
nah he dropped hollywood.
I miss Glee 😅
This video makes it seem like Chris wasn't successful because he wasn't on Broadway. Broadway didn't drop him. If anything, he dropped Broadway. He decided to be a writer. He has written at least eight New York Best Sellers, and he has also directed and written movies. He's very successful and also absolutely awesome.
Hollywood didn't dropped him, he dropped Hollywood
I don’t think He was dropped. I think he dropped it, he moved on to be an author. He was writing his novel during glee
Excuse me, Chris DROPPED Hollywood
This title is misleading. He wasn’t dropped. He chose to step back.
HE dropped Hollywood
OMG!! Hollywood did not drop him. He just became an author. That does not mean he was dropped😤
Honestly he been busy writing ,directing ,producing new movie he just fine
:( he will always be my favourite 💘💕
Mine too....
The title of this video should be "Why Chris Colfer dropped Hollywood and the success he's having instead".
He's about to produce a Megastar movie what the hell
He just successes in anything he chooses to do, no one dropped him. He is the one decide his life
Hollywood didnt drop him.. he just like what hes doing now behind the camera rather than in front of the camera.. and not only him, but even the other casts of Glee, they are successful now.. Glee did help them a lot..
He wasn’t dropped , he chose to be a writer
Hollywood didn't drop him...
He decided to focus on his writing
He is a great actor... But writing is his passion and he chose to do that and doing so well. His novels are best selling books... .....To the haters he is an amazing person and true inspiration that you never can be....
I still want to hear he sings again!!!
struck by lightning is a great movie i didn’t know it was declared “dismissed”💀
Why the misinformation?
His dream was to write and direct !
why CHRIS COLFER dropped HOLLYWOOD
i love his land of stories books i’m really glad he wrote them
Like Hollywood deserves him. Please.
When she talks about Chris never being forgotten as Kurt... I believe that. When I saw Emma’s fiancé “Carl” for the first time, my mind instantly said “Uncle Jesse”
Chris and Darren are probably the more successful ones from the glee cast, most of them just disappeared or are in mediocre acting roles
I mean Matthew Morrison had a starring role on Broadway. And Amber Riley won an Olivier award for her role in Dreamgirls. May not be “tv success” but they are doing well!
Grant Gustin and Melissa Benoist are not exactly slackers, guys. Colfer is steadily on his way to becoming a mogul in the Town.
I wish him well in all of his endeavors.
His future looks bright: he's still in his twenties!
He was never dropped. After he wrote that episode on glee he became an amazing author
He starred writing when he was in season 2,from season 3 he started to publish his books
Poor Porcelain.
How? He’s in times most influential people, a Ny times best selling author, making a movie so he’s pretty successful and doing well
He was not dropped. He chose to be a writer. The making of the show actually hurt him. Santana's rant was attacking things Chris didn't like about himself, and he's said that this hurt him.
the cast were too talented for mainstream media
Didnt he choose to write? Also, can I just say that The Land of Stories is absolutely amazing?
no no NO. he will NEVER be jk rowling, he is such a kind, good man
Still can’t believe I went to the same hs that Chris did 😌
Hollywood did not drop him, he dropped Hollywood
I love this little twink, hes so adorable.
He wasn't "dropped." He's a highly successful author. Stop it.
They haven't dropped him. He wrote The Land of Stories books which he's working on turning into a movie which he directing & I assume writing.
Don't we all love this guy?
OMFG LAND OF STORIES IS MY FAV AND I JUST NOW REALIZED THAT CHRIS MADE THEM OMFG MY GLEE SIDE AND NERDY BOOK WORM SIDE ARE SHOOK
Chris Colfer is an AMAZING human being. I really hope he writes another series related to The Land of Stories bc I hate reading but those books just make me happy and they are the first books I ever cried about... and I NEVER cry ever so yeah and IM SO EXCITED FOR THE MOVIE 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I've always liked Chris, I even read the books he wrote even though they're kids books. I gotta say I really liked them, I love fairytale reimaginings like the 10th Kingdom and I'd love to see his books get adaptations.
Yasssss Chris honey!!! ❤️❤️❤️
do one of Logan Lerman
Where is he? :(
Carles Mixes doing nothing, like me :/ lol
He had so much going for him! I personally blame the disastrous Percy Jackson adaptations for his fall. Those movies were god awful and the entire cast suffered.
Dude was in the MAZE RUNNER films. He's hardly unemployed.
@@hamandburr1307 that's not him. He's in a show called Hunters that came out this year, tho!
I’ve read his books and they are incredible. Not lying but he is extremely multi talented
i got this book not knowing the author was him and im loving the book and now even more bc I love him sm
He is so smart. He is more than a triple threat. Guys he went to HARVARD!
i-? he’s an author, he dropped hollywood
I love his Land Of Stories series
I wish he had his own comedy show, and maybe even a talk show, he’s a rlly funny talented guy so it would be perfect!
