"Glee" fans confused that actor who plays Artie not a real wheelchair user

From OK! magazine in the UK. There's a video interview with Kevin McHale on the Web site.

Although Kevin McHale (pictured) has been in the television business for a few years — appearances in The Office, Zoey 101 and True Blood — his role on the hit FOX musical comedy show Glee has prompted fans to take notice, but they’re kinda confused about the whole wheelchair thing.

Kevin’s Glee character Artie Abrams is confined to a wheelchair and fans are surprised when they discover that Kevin the actor can actually walk.

Kevin tells PopEater that he’s not surprised fans are shocked he can walk because as he says, “I’m really good at not moving my legs.”

In a video interview Kevin explained his thoughts on choosing an able-bodied actor to play his character and trying to think outside the box in high school.
