Although it’s been a relatively tough year for Kurt Hummel on “Glee,” (leaving Ohio for NYC and breaking up with beau Blaine Anderson) the actor who plays the lovable character, Chris Colfer, had a breakthrough year, diving into projects outside the popular hit series for which he’s best known. 

Those projects included releasing a children’s book, “The Land of Stories” this summer and debuting his dark comedy film, “Struck By Lightning,” at the Tribeca Film Festival in April.
