Breaking as many hearts across the country as Nielson ratings, singer/songwriter/actor and spokesperson for KIIS FM Clear Channel’s international “Safe Driving Campaign,” MARK SALLING, whose brooding good looks could make you faint, rounds out the most-versatile cast to hit the FOX TV line-up, as bad-boy “Noah Puckerman,” “Puck,” on 19-time Emmy-nominated powerhouse series of the decade, “Glee.” By the end of Season One (a June 2010 finale on-deck to serve all die-hard “Gleeks” with a mean withdrawal from a back-9 that came and went too soon), the show about the will of the underdog and importance of arts education, will have taken home a Golden Globe Award (“Best Television Series, Comedy/ Musical”), SAG Award (“Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series”), People’s Choice Award (“Favorite New TV Comedy”), TV Land Award (“Future Classic Award”), GLAAD Award, Peabody Award, and multiple Teen Choice Awards (including “Best Comedy”) while gracing countless coveted covers and pages of Rolling Stone, Vanity Fair, GQ, Harper’s Bazaar, Teen Vogue, Maxim, Variety, The Hollywood Reporter, etc. Guaranteed by the Los Angeles Times “to make you happy,” repetitively stated by Entertainment Weekly as “something worth singing about,” boldly proclaimed by TV Guide Magazine as “the year’s happiest treat, a wondrous explosion of creative excess and musical bliss, uproariously funny and a true original cause to celebrate,” and touted by virtually every weekly magazine as the “best new show,” “Glee” has sent this newcomer cast of twelve on an expressway to fame.

He also serves as the writer/ performer/ producer on each track.Starring opposite comic-genius Jane Lynch (40-YEAR-OLD VIRGIN, ROLE MODELS) and Broadway veteran Lea Michelle in the biggest TV phenomenon of the generation, Salling, whose soulful hazel eyes even take a backseat to his soulful sound, he has comfortably accepted the role as the show’s breakout star and sex-symbol, as he brings to the already-talented ensemble an unparalleled dedication to the craft and a darker, alternative edge in music, looks and style. Musical background and villainous swagger in tow, Salling highlights the show created by
