Bio:
McHale was born in Plano, Texas. Before becoming an actor, McHale joined an American Boy Group, NLT, which is short for "Not Like Them". The R&B group was discovered by Chris Stokes. On March 13, 2007, they released their first single "That Girl". The band had a guest appearance in Bratz: The Movie. On April 30, 2009, group member Travis Michael Garland announced that NLT had split.
McHale currently stars on Glee as Artie Abrams, a member of the McKinley High glee club who uses a wheelchair. Although his character is in a wheelchair, McHale is a skilled dancer and has responded that it was hard to keep his feet from moving along with the music while he was on the set. He had his first solo single on Glee singing "Dancing with Myself" in the episode "Wheels". In the episode "Dream On" he danced in a fantasy sequence to "The Safety Dance" and sang "Dream a Little Dream of Me". It should also be noted that since being cast on Glee, McHale has begun wearing variations of his character's signature glasses to award shows and other public events as he is rarely recognized without them.
McHale's acting credits include a 2007 appearance on NBC's The Office in the season 4 episode "Launch Party", where he played a pizza delivery boy who is taken hostage by Steve Carell's character, Michael Scott. In 2008, McHale was on HBO's True Blood for two episodes as Neil Jones, a coroner's assistant. Kevin was also in three episodes of Nickelodeon's hit show Zoey 101 as Dooley. In 2010, McHale appeared momentarily in One Call's music video 'Blacklight' alongside his fellow former NLT member, Justin.

Trivia:
  • He was a member of the boy band NLT - which stood for Not Like Them, supposedly to indicate their difference from other boy bands (McHale has admitted that they were, in fact, not much different). The band broke up in April 2009.
  • Kevin is the uncle of actor Jack Horan.
  • Unlike his character in "Glee" (2009), Kevin does not use a wheelchair. In fact, co-star Chris Colfer stated in 2010 that McHale is regarded as being the best dancer among the cast.
  • Kevin is the uncle of actress Rose Horan.
