\t\t<\/p>\n It was impossible to predict just how big of a show Glee<\/strong><\/a><\/em> would become when it was first created. However, that didn\u2019t stop a lot of stars from auditioning for the show!<\/p>\n The mega-popular musical series debuted 15 years ago, introducing us to the New Directions \u2013 a group of plucky underdogs who won hearts with their musical abilities and tight bond. <\/p>\n However, the lineup of the show choir could have looked very different. In the years since Glee <\/em>debuted, we\u2019ve learned that a slew of actors auditioned for the show and didn\u2019t get cast.<\/p>\n Some cast members even auditioned for different parts before they were placed in the perfect role. <\/p>\n For instance, many actors who eventually joined the show did so after reading to play football star turned choir champion Finn Hudson, a role that ultimately went to Cory Monteith<\/strong><\/a>. Several popular actresses also auditioned to play the big-voiced Rachel Berry before Lea Michele<\/strong><\/a> was cast. <\/p>\n You won\u2019t believe which actress was in the running to play Sue Sylvester, the lead antagonist, either!<\/p>\n We did some digging and rounded up all of the stars who auditioned for the show. The list includes a pop superstar who was originally supposed to play Mr. Schue, a reality star who went into the audition knowing that they couldn\u2019t sing and so many other surprising names.<\/p>\n Interestingly, another actor who was cast said that they thought it was a mistake when they got the offer!<\/p>\n Click inside to see all of the stars who were almost a part of Glee or auditioned for very different parts than what they got\u2026<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n
