If you don’t love Kevin McHale (Artie), we’re seriously questioning your sanity. Seriously. So, because we know you DO love him, we’ve compiled 14 things you need to know about him, like, yesterday. Get ready, Gleeks! He’s kinda quirky (and we totally love it.)

1. He was a member of former boy band NLT, which stands for Not Like Them.

2. He counts everything, including ceiling tiles, floor tiles, and windows.

3. He loves shoes and has a ton of sneakers.

4. He paints, though he says not very well.

5. He has an aversion to other peoples’ feet.

6. He has to start every day with orange juice.

7. He hates it when people smack when they chew.

8. If there’s rice, chicken, and asparagus — he has to eat everything separately and in order.

9. He’s a pop culture freak.

10. He loves soccer.

11. He gets intense anxiety every time he has to park his car so he drives like an old person.

12. He’s the best dancer in the entire cast of Glee. [hmm... better than Harry Shum?]

13. He has made guest appearances on The Office, Zoey 101, and True Blood.

14. He (Mc)Hale’s (haha, get it?) from Plano, Texas.

Yea! He's a Texas boy! (which I already knew.)

About number 12 - the choreographer for the show, Zach, lamented at the beginning of Glee that Kevin was probably the best dancer in the cast, but he was playing a character who uses a wheelchair. He said this when there were only six kids in the glee club - Rachel, Finn, Artie, Kurt, Mercedes, and Tina.

I could add a number 15 - He's also a big Harry Potter fan.

And a number 16 - One of his sisters worked for Jay Leno, so Kevin first met Jay when he was very young.
