We're totally meant to be because I'm the same way!
I found a Telly Leung interview (Wes) and he auditioned for Blaine!

I can see him as mentor!Blaine! but not epic fail 'When I get you Alone', kissing Rachel Blaine...
He's hot so I'd probably STILL be perving on Blaine haha! Obviously, can't imagine anyone other than Darren as Blaine though... it would be interesting to see Telly!Blaine!
There should be a crack episode of Glee where everyone plays the role they originally auditioned for! Finn!Darren, Artie!Chris, Blaine!Telly, Rachel!Naya and Quinn!Jenna! It would be mad haha!
I love what he says about Darren!
“Everything happens for a reason and Darren Criss is brilliant in the role. Perfection, in fact,” he said.
“What he’s able to do with it musically and emotionally is stellar and I’m also thrilled that I get to do what I do in the show.”
Watch him in Rent. Some hawt shiz right there! Can't believe his Broadway debut is going to be with LEA SALONGA! *dies*
