The Bloated Penguin

Alright so as you can probably tell, I’m not one for the traditional leading ladies. I’m a bigger fan of the supporting cast that makes small, yet memorable appearances in movies and TV. That’s why I think I can justify my intrigue with Naya Rivera from Glee. Who Dat? Well you know the cheerleaders that never seem to change out of their uniforms? There’s the main girl (can’t remember her name but I remember her from Heroes when she played a well, cheerleader) and then there’s the girl that’s always with her, Santana Lopez. Santana is played by Naya Rivera and makes maybe one or two appearances per episode. You’ll remember her as the girl that breaks up with Puck because he;s got bad credit and also as the girl who breaks down and cries when the cheer-leading coach breaks the news that the Cheerios will no longer be getting massages….

Played perfectly by Rivera, the character of Santana adds to an already talented squad of Glee cast mates. You might remember her from a one-off guest appearance on CSI: Miami (man I think everyone has been on that show) and a recurring role as Donna on the Bernie Mac Show. Anyways, now that you know, I’m sure you’ll start to notice even more. She drops little gems of lines into each episode and gives Glee that tiny step above other cheesy high school coming of age comedies.
