Cory Monteith stars in Fox's highly anticipated and quirky series, "Glee," but his role is far from what the Canadian born and raised actor expected to fall into. This soon-to-be sensation's humble bravado stems from the years of odd jobs he had before Hollywood came calling. Although graciously accepting the comparisons already being made between him and other young stars including Zac Efron, Cory is determined to carve his own path as an actor. He embraces his character, Finn, and is eager to see where the show takes him. We’re just as excited for him, and that’s why he definitely deserves to be on our Verge to Emerge.
