9.Nina Dobrev

Nina was a huge fan of the show and admitted in 2010 that she auditioned for Glee. Considering how early in the show that was, I'm gonna guess she auditioned for Rachel.

And here are some actors who did make it onto Glee, but almost played a different role than what they ended up with:

10.Darren Criss
