Starry Mag Interview with Heather Morris

Starry Constellation Magazine has yet another interview with a Glee cast member. This time, our friend Lisa had the pleasure of chatting with Heather Morris, who plays Brittany on the show. I must say, this was a really good interview. They talked about a lot of fun behind the scenes stuff and even asked some questions about Brittany’s future. Make sure to check out the full interview on StarryMag.com and listen to a podcast of the interview, here.

Q. A lot of people have been asking, does Brittany have a last name?

A. That’s probably the best question I’ve ever been asked because I don’t. I’ve always asked Ryan, “Does Brittany have a last name?” He’s like, “No, I think you’re just Brittany.” We call her Brittawny as a joke, her nickname is Brittawny. She’s the only one on the show who doesn’t have a last name.

Q. “Glee” has some of the best comedic moments and lines, as does your character Brittany. She may not say much now, but what she does say is hilarious.

A. A lot of the stuff they give me will be last minute, it won’t be in the script, and they’ll just kind of throw it at me on set. They’ll run a scene and then Ryan will be like, “Ok Heather, I want you to say this.” It’s always fun because it’s so out of nowhere, I don’t even know what he’s going to give me to say. There actually have been a couple of times where I’ll jokingly say something in a scene and he’ll be like, “Oh that’s in, that’s in,” and he’ll use stuff that I say. It’s always fun because it’s so simple, no-brainer random stuff.

Q. So you have moments of adlibbing with your lines?

A. One time specifically in one of the new episodes that will be airing on Tuesday there was a line in a choir scene. In the middle of the scene I was joking and Jonathan Groff who plays Jesse St. James was standing next to Mr. Schuester, played by Matthew Morrison, and they looked identical. At the end of the joke I said, “Mr. Schue, is he your son?” Ryan started cracking up and he was like, “I’m using it!”
