Chris Colfer has been fired by "Glee"

After five seasons, arguably the most popular (or second most popular, sorry to snub you Lea Michele) cast member of FOX’s “Glee” just announced that he’s been let go from the show.

Colfer is best known for his role on the FOX show, but has branched out in recent years as a best-selling author, and indie film producer. Colfer is leaving the show as it enters its final (sixth) season in the Fall.
