Does anyone else know who Darren Criss is?

[J.D.T.]

Of course I know who he is!

I've been a fan of his since August 2009 when I saw AVPM for the first time; then I saw his YouTube videos and realized that I had scrolled past them before without a second thought. I've followed his career since then.

Why do I like him? I know I'll probably make a long-winded post about this, but it's 2 a.m. and I have summer school tomorrow, so I'll stick to a few.

He's inspired me. He's inspired a LOT of different people in so many aspects of life. From his talent and amazing songwriting abilities to his enthusiasm for everything he does, he keeps people going.
He's saved several lives, including my own, just with his words and music.
He has this childlike energy about him that is just so endearing.
He sounds even more amazing live. (I just went to the Fiesta Texas show this weekend.)
He's truly invested in Blaine's character and his relationship with Kurt.
He fully backs the organizations he attends/performs for, such as the Trevor Project.
He still fanboys at every red carpet event he goes to.
He's very likeable. Almost every "celebrity" he meets tweets/says something great about him.
His singing voice is pretty distinct for our time period. (Quick story: I was half-listening to my ipod when a live version of Jealousy starts playing. I could've sworn it was Elvis.)
