‘Glee’ alum Kevin McHale says he wouldn’t play a character in a wheelchair now

If “Glee” is ever rebooted, Kevin McHale is not signing up to be canceled.

“I don’t know if Artie could be in it,” McHale said Wednesday to Insider, talking about Artie Abrams, the character he played in the Fox musical series that ran from 2009 to 2015. “Knowing what we know now, I don’t think I should be playing a character that’s in a wheelchair. So, if they let me grow out ... my beard and play a different character, I’ll do it.”

Show creator Ryan Murphy floated the idea of a reboot last week during a podcast hosted by McHale and former co-star Jenna Ushkowitz, who played Tina Cohen-Chang on the show.
