Ryan Murphy surprised everyone--including the contestants--on Sunday night's finale of "The Glee Project." The search to find the next "Glee" star resulted in not one, but two winners. Samuel Larsen, 19, and Damian McGinty, 18, both won seven-episode arcs this season on Fox’s hit series, but that wasn't all. Murphy also surprised runners-up Lindsay Pearce, 20, and Alex Newell, 18, with two-episode arcs this season.
The Huffington Post talks to Larsen and McGinty about their surprising dual victories, their potential "Glee" characters and their love of Darren Criss.
Samuel Larsen
How does it feel to have the world now know you're the winner of "The Glee Project?"
It feels overwhelming. I have every emotion running through my body at the exact same time and I don't know which one to choose and run with. It's crazy, it's amazing really.
What did it feel like to find out Damian also won, since you were told first?...
