Ningin recently sat down with Glee’s Jenna Ushkowitz.  They ask her what life is like on the super popular show.  If you’ve been reading your Kindle and not watching TV, then were here to tell you that Glee was the big hit of this past fall.  Korean adoptee Jenna Ushkowitz plays the role of Tina where she belts out melodies that make you want to sing along with her.  Enjoy the interview.

JI: Can you tell us how you got your start in show business?

JU: My parents put me in at the age of 3 in commercials and Print. My first job was a Playskool Print ad. I really got into Musical Theatre when I made my Broadway debut in ‘The King and I’ Revival in 1996. I fell in love with singing and dancing and pursued it in high school and college. I was in my ‘Select Choir’ in high school (which was our version of glee, I guess) and I took acting, dance and voice everyday in high school. I have a BA in Acting and a minor in Musical Theatre from Marymount Manhattan College. About 6 months later, I got the role of a swing in the Broadway musical ‘Spring Awakening’ and then I ended up booking Glee a year later!

So who is Jenna?  She was adopted and raised in the Vermont and New York area, where she graduated from a Catholic high school.   She’s no stranger to acting with stints on TV and on Broadway.
