- Hey, everybody!
Darren Criss here, saying hello to you
from the comfort of my home to yours.
Hopefully you're safe and snug
wherever you are staying healthy.
I've always wanted to do one of these things with BuzzFeed
and I always get to see people that I admire
do funny quizzes and stuff like that.
I'm here to take a quiz to find out
which Ryan Murphy character are you?
You being me, Darren.
Let's find out.
(upbeat music)
If your life were a TV show, what genre would it be?
Horror, supernatural, musical, drama,
comedy, or romance?
I would like to think that it's all of the above,
but just for (beep) and giggles,
I feel like we should give the people what they want.
I would probably say it's a musical.
'Cause musicals are inherently a comedy,
so, let's just, or not all the time,
but I guess stereotypically, so let's go with that.
Choose an iconic guest star
from the Ryan Murphy Cinematic Universe.
Kate Hudson who was on Glee with us,
Lady Gaga who was in American Horror Story Hotel,
Nick Jonas.
Nicky J was in Scream Queens, I think he was a frat boy.
Naomi Campbell, bless.
Am I allowed to say that?
I don't think I am.
She blesses me.
She chooses.
Max Greenfield, who kicked ass
on The Assassination of Johnny Versace.
And then Britney Spears who was on Glee.
On an episode that I wasn't on.
By the time I joined the show,
they had all these amazing guest stars
that I didn't get to meet.
I don't know when the next time I would see Naomi Campbell
in a musical, so for the shear novelty of that,
I'm just gonna click on Naomi Campbell,
'cause I just really wanna see where this rabbit hole leads.
You're walking down the street,
and feel the urge to sing,
which song are you belting?
This is all the time.
"Teenage Dream" by Katy Perry.
Very good chance I'd do that.
I love that song despite the fact I did it a ton
on the show Glee, I still think that song (beep) rules.
"Blackbird".
Who belts out "Blackbird"?
That's a very bold choice to be belting.
I don't think it's really like a belt song.
"Everybody Wants to Rule the World" Tears for Fears.
That's a (beep) good one.
"Don't Stop Me Now" by Queen.
Oh, that's a really good one.
"Heroes" is a good one.
By David Bowie.
"Hey: Soul Sister".
If I'm at my bar, I'm on the piano,
I will play "Don't Stop Me Now" by Queen.
However, because I am walking down the street,
and it's kind of a walking down the street soundtrack song,
I will say "Everybody Wants to Rule the World".
Now pick another fabulous character
from the Ryan Murphy cinematic Universe.
I'm just picking somebody.
We got Rachel Berry from Glee.
Pray Tell from Pose.
Dr. Brock Holt, Scream Queens.
We got Donovan from American Horror Story Hotel.
Marie Laveau.
The incomparable Angela Bassett
from American Horror Story Coven.
And of course, the very talented Mr. Young Ben Platt
from The Politician.
Angela, you know this, if you'll ever see this,
you know you have the key to my heart.
I'm going with Ms. Bassett.
Any excuse to hang out with her is a good time.
I think there's a picture somewhere of me playing the piano
with her sitting on the piano
with a rose in her mouth.
That actually happened in New York City,
one night adventures from Broadway.
That is a thing that happened in my life.
And I gladly squeeze it into every conversation that I can
just like now.
Choose an old Hollywood film to watch.
We got Casablanca, Breakfast at Tiffany's,
Citizen Kane, It Happened One Night, Singing in the Rain,
and Whatever Happened to Baby Jane.
All very different movies.
I'll say Casablanca.
I know this is supposed to be a thing
that's really indicative of who I am,
but at this point, I'm playing mind games with myself
'cause I just wanna see where this leads.
Now choose a Ryan Murphy project to watch.
This is good 'cause I haven't seen a lot of 'em.
I haven't seen a significant amount of Glee.
There's a huge chunk of Glee I just never saw
that I don't know when I'm gonna get around to,
'cause with all the shows to watch, when am I gonna go,
you know, I'll watch the show I spent years on.
Okay, The New Normal, Nip/Tuck,
Eat Pray Love, The Normal Heart, Feud, Pose.
Okay, well I have seen a number of these.
I'll say Nip/Tuck.
'Cause I only know a few episodes,
and that was a really, that was a big show.
So, I'll say Nip/Tuck.
Okay, finally, how would your friends describe me?
Determined, radiant, charming, misunderstood,
multi-faceted, or fabulous.
Gosh, it depends what time of night it is,
how many drinks are involved.
'Cause I don't know if my friends would be that articulate.
I would hope they say that I'm (beep) fabulous.
That's the (beep) I want Angela Bassett voodoo lady
and Naomi Campbell icon to hear about me.
(upbeat music)
Haha!
I got Camille, who is the character
who plays my character's girlfriend on the show Hollywood,
played by the beautiful Laura Harrier.
You got Camille Washington from Hollywood.
Your radiant can-do attitude makes people like you
and jealous of you.
But you don't pay attention to the negativity
because you've got your eyes on the prize
and will work your tush off until you get it.
Damn skippy I will.
I'm not paying attention to haters.
Haters gon' hate.
As I think the modern parlance would tell you.
And yeah, I got my eyes on the prize.
I do like to think I work pretty hard.
This apropos of the fact
that I am back with my long-time collaborator
and friend, Ryan Murphy.
We have a show on Netflix called Hollywood
about 1940s Hollywood.
Hopefully you will have the time,
which I know you just might, to check out.
There you have it.
Thank you, BuzzFeed, for leading me
to the end of the rabbit hole that I created for myself.
