Dylan Mulvaney, a renowned trans TikTok star, shared on the podcast 'That's What You Really Missed' that she auditioned for two roles in the iconic series Glee—young Kurt and Jake Puckerman. Her revelation surprised the podcast hosts and highlighted the diversity of casting during the show's run. Mulvaney humorously noted her unique perspective as the only trans woman who auditioned for these contrasting characters, reflecting on the changing landscape of representation in the entertainment industry and her personal journey during auditions pre-transition.
I have to tell you, I auditioned for young Kurt back in the day. And, are you ready? Guess what other character I auditioned for... It was Jake Puckerman. I'm going to let that sit.
I might be the only one that auditioned for both young Kurt and Jake, but what I definitely confirm is I'm the only trans woman that auditioned for both young Kurt and Jake.
When the Jake audition [came] around, it was very obvious that the casting directors were not like, 'Remember that kid who we saw for young Kurt? We gotta cast her.'
