On November 8, 2011, he debuted on the television series Glee as Sebastian Smythe, an openly gay member of the Dalton Academy Warblers.[2] Gustin won the recurring role of Sebastian, a promiscuous and scheming character, after "an exhaustive, weeks-long casting search".[5] He began filming the role early on Monday, September 26, 2011, after having finished his final West Side Story performance the Friday night before.[6]
