Actor Max Adler who plays Kurt’s bully-turned-kisser on “Glee” talks about the twist in his storyline

Max Adler plays Dave and he talked to ZaptoIt.com about what’s going on with his character: “Before this was written, I thought there’s got to be a reason why he’s so angry, why he’s such a bully, why he’s going out of his way to make other people’s lives a living hell,” Adler tells Zap2it. “So I toyed with it. When this developed, it was kind of cool.”

“I just got the script delivered and was reading it,” adds Adler. “I thought, ‘This is getting serious. He’s not backing off. He’s going to punch him.’ And then I turn the page and it says, ‘Karofsky kisses Kurt.’ I was like, ‘What?’ I jumped off the couch. I was just as shocked as anybody else.”

When it came to shooting the emotionally fraught scene, Adler credits Colfer with setting the tone.

“Chris is one of the best actors I’ve ever worked with,” he says. “He’s just so good in every take. He gives so much.”

Kurt and new friend Blaine’s (Darren Criss) attempts to get Karofsky to own his sexuality and come out of the closet fail though. In fact, he’s angrier than ever and the bullying continues until it comes to a head at school.

“My parents get involved,” Adler reveals about the Nov. 23 episode titled “Furt.”

And even though many improbable things happen on “Glee,” Adler doubts that “Kurtofsky” will ever come to pass. “You heard Kurt. He thinks I’m a chubby guy who sweats too much. So I don’t see him being sexually attracted to me, but obviously I am to him.”
