BIG BREAK

Fink, 24, is newbie Lauren Zizes.

BEFORE GLEE, WAS IT TOUGH TO GET ROLES?

I've been told, "You're too chubby" or "You're not big enough." But I think if you have the talent and confidence, you are the person for the job.

DOES GLEE MIRROR YOUR PAST?

I was definitely bullied. I would come home crying every day, but I remember saying, "No, this is not going to affect my life." I am so proud to portray a confident badass girl. Kids need to see that.

AND NOW LAUREN'S MAKING OUT WITH HEARTTHROB PUCK!

That was hysterical. Mark Salling and I laughed throughout and sang the Big Red jingle: "Kiss a little longer!"
