One of the reasons Glee has been such a huge hit is not because of the A-List guest stars that have been frequenting the set too much lately, but because of its stellar ensemble cast.  Ryan Murphy really got it right when he decided to go with virtually unknown triple threats; the entire crew brings a freshness and an enthusiasm to the show.  Much like the New Directions themselves, the cast lacks experience and professionalism, but that just seems to work so well for the nature of the show.  Most of the stars will almost entirely obscure before being snatched up by TV’s hottest show, but just because we didn’t really know ‘em doesn’t mean they came out of nowhere.
