Watch the full play here: • "8": A Play about the ...
Written by Academy Award-winner Dustin Lance Black (Milk, J. Edgar), "8″ is based on the actual trial transcripts of the federal trial of Prop. 8, first-hand observations of the courtroom drama and interviews with the plaintiffs and their families. Kris & Sandy and Paul & Jeff are two loving couples who want to get married but can't. Together with attorneys David Boies and Ted Olson and a host of expert witnesses, they take aim at Proposition 8, a discriminatory law that took away the right for LGBT couples to marry in California in 2008.

at the beginning i thought this was real until i realized it was a play, that just proves what an amazing actor chris colfer is. i love him so much.
Melanie Peicott omg same
OH MY GOSH.... Thanks god this was all just a play.... I felt so terrible for him and I started crying when he said that he would have probablly killed himself...
exactly!! I almost started crying
SAME
Melanie Peicott I didn't even realise it was a play until I read your comment
Chris Colfer is so fucking talented. he portrays this character so well its almost believable! I couldn't stop staring at those beautiful blue eyes! i love him soo much!
SAME .. THESE EYES UGH
He's such an incredible actor, right down to his facial expressions. His eyes portray so much emotion.
I spent the entire video basically saying "don't make me cry Chris" and then I cried so I got annoyed.
~-inhales multiple times then coughs from inhaling too much air~ (basically what happened to me the whole video)
Chris is MY FAVORITE FROM GLEE
Matt Bomerfan4life yes me to
Matt Bomerfan4life Tbh I skipped through all 6 seasons in less than a week from just seeing Kurt act.
SAMMEE!
Kurt is my no 1 favourite character 😍
This is so connected to my experience. I'm actually so moved, by both Chris Colfer's extraordinary acting and the script.
My mom said exactly the same thing to me. She said if she would've known I'll grow up becoming a lesbian, she would've killed me when I was born. I was 14. Before that, all my family members were very proud of me because I was a good girl. After they found I'm a gay, everything changed. She locked me up in a mental hospital and insisted to "cure" me. I tried to kill myself and suffered from serious depression.
It's been 10 years. I still remember every single word came out from my mom that day. But I don't even hate her anymore. The opposite of love is not hate, is indifference.
Being gay is not a wrong thing. I hope everyone could understand this.
Hello, I admire both your bravery and perseverance and I think we'd be good friends, partially because I desperately need your advice and also because I can tell you're a cool and comfortable person.
I admire your courage. I once considered suicide as well. Being gay was a major cause. I'm glad I don't feel suicidal again. And I hope people who are gay anywhere can be proud of who they are.
Amazed. My mom passed by while Chris Colfer was saying the line about the mom supposedly saying that she should have gotten an abortion instead of having a gay kid. My mom literally turned to me, and she shook her head. She's like "People these days, how can they be so cold hearted to their children? I'm going to pray for that kid." That proves a point that Chris Colfer is a really good actor!! I love you Chris, and this made me actually believe you were in the case!
If this play can bring people to tears imagine those who were there and witnessed the real people testifying in the court. How could it not break your heart!
Just found it and God, Chris Colfer is one of the sexiest men alive
chococolfer He isn't one of the sexiest men. He is the sexiest man
@@mkogler895 YES
I agree
I'm sorry but this just broke my heart...
There's NOTHING wrong with loving someone, the only problem is...not everyone knows that.
Its a play. But its true its sad
Yeah it's a play and did you wonder why actors were carrying script? Because this happened and they were reading the dialogue,it had to be verbatim
What a talent.
And the last sentence is just so hurtful I had tears in my eyes.
How I love this guy!
He has got a beautiful voice and he's extremely handsome!
Yes he is
Love when Chris says "Nope I was just as Gay as when I started" So funny especially with the look on his face as well
Chris is so talented it is absolutely unreal.
He's SUCH a good actor!! And so beautiful
Chris is such a wonderful actor.
Chris colfer is simply incredible - the way he portrays every character has a unique quirk of his own and I simply adore him :)
“Nope, I was just as gay as when I started” That’s just great! That made me laugh so hard
Chris's voice is so emotive. You can see it in his acting, his singing, his writing. It hurts me that he doesn't act anymore because watching this you can see how amazing he is. This man will forever be my role model for being able to give performances like this.
This is one of the small reasons why Chris Colfer Deserves all the awards. He deserves everything he has now more. Amazing writer, Genius Actor and Inspiring Person.
Chris is such an amazing actor. This breaks my heart.
Thank you Mr. Colfer for everything you've done for the LGBTQ society. I haven't come out yet in my personal life but hope to someday when I'm no longer economically dependent on my parents. You are just my biggest inspiration and I want to be like you someday.
Chris Colfer is such an amazing actor, singer, writer...he's just extremely talented! Love him!
He's an amayzing actor with a heart of gold and the voice of an angel. One of my all time favorite male performers. Not to mention he's also handsom as hell. Love you Chris. Keep on following your dreams!
Chris has me crying. His emotion is so raw and incredible
Wish this man was still acting. He is amazingly talented.
It honestly brought me too tears to know how many people go through shit like this every day. (Pardon my language but forreal) he is such a good actor and thank god this isn't real. I can't love knowing that was how he was treated.
god Chris is such a wonderful actor this is making me so emotional
I cried so hard while he was talking about how this affected him, with his family and all, it felt so real, he is one of the greatest actors I know, he is so underrated!

Even george was impressed and smiled by his astounding acting!
Okay I know this is just a play but hearing Chris delivering these lines and knowing that there are actual people who go/went through this, makes it so, so hard to watch and I had to pause several times
At the beginning, I almost cried cuz I thought it was real at i felt bad for what his mom said, but then I realized that it was a play. That's good acting.
BRUH HES SUCH A GOOD ACTOR I THOUGHT THIS WAS REAL
5:36 OMG I wanted to cry
Oh god the end
This is OUTSTANDING! Chris and the other actors are powerful in recreating this courtroom exchange. TRUE STORY.
To me love as a parent is all inclusive and how any parent can hate or turn out their own child based on their sexuality is appalling
It's just simply amazing how Chris outshines these brillant actors. I salute you!
Chris colfer moves me,the world needs more people like him.
I love him so much. I am bi and I can't come out to my parents because if they knew, they wouldn't see me the same way...
Gabriela Egas same
I don't know you and your comment is from 5 years ago so I don't know if things have changed for you, but you are so loved and so valid and I hope you are living the life you want and loving who you want because everyone deserves that. I'm proud of you!
I am legit crying right now. Chris, saying those words, just makes me want to hug him and tell him that it'll be okay. Dang that man's talent!
Chris Colfer is so talented I cannot handle it. His eyes are like deep blue seas just asking for me to get lost in them and his acting makes me live the scene in my head as if I was there. His writing makes the stories come to life in ways unimaginable; in which I lose my sense of reality for the better. He is flawless in any and every way possible. His voice captivates me. I love him. 😋Asa and just cause I'm a fangirl, I kinda sorta wish he was bi..so I could marry him 😜😜😜
And*
wow girl we are one! i feel the same! he is my everything. i adore him. he is so precious to me, those beautiful blue eyes are so captivating and when I stare into them I lose all control of myself! his beauty is out of this world and he saves lives just by his caring inspiring words of wisdom! like i dont care if he's gay, I'd still marry him
Wow Chris Colfer. You were so brave to do this at the height of Glee! I was such a huge fan then. I still am. Love your books.
wow this cast is insane, and chris colfer is amazing
This man has a beautiful voice a brilliant actor and we watched from series, 1-6 of Glee how handsome he has become, I live in England and I wish we could see more of him over here.
Such a raw incredible powerful performance by Chris Colfer
It’s in the eyes. Really good acting
No but I’m actually crying
Chris is such an amazing actor. It makes me so mad that some people do go through this..and not only from strangers and kids at school but their own family. I wish everyone would just accept everybody.
wow. he's so genuine when he acts. Its kinda scary. utter respect.
You can tell the emotions are real. But this wasn't his experience, he just played so well because he had felt some of these emotions. I admire him so much for his strength and courage and that he was able do this to help an organization that was bigger the just him.
Chris Colfer is such an amazing human being. You can see that even though he is acting, he is still feeling and probably understanding what his character (based on a real person) is going through. Every time I watch this (or any of his amazing accomplishments) I still get the same reaction: pure and total adoration towards him.
I was crying I was so angry at all the things being said. You should never say that to your child or change yourself to please others. I love Chris so much and it hurt me. I didn’t realize it was a play until it was over, but these hurtful things need to stop. I love everybody, a perosn is a person.
Kudos to ALL the actors for doing this and specially to Dustin Lance Black for writing such an amazing play
The exchange between Jamie Lee Curtis, Christine Lahti, Chris Colfer was so emotional, I ended up crying myself. And I rarely ever cry. :'(
I don't care if this was him or not. The way he said his lines, how you could hear the shakiness in his voice, see the tears in his eyes. That, /THAT/, is pure talent. This didn't happen to him, but it sure seemed that way. I am in tears because of this 5:46 long video. And it's simply because someone could have had that exact experience, and the way it is addressed in this play.
Wow I thought this was real Chris is so talented he has so much emotion just wow
And this Ladies and Gentleman is why I love Christopher Paul Colfer.
Great job Chris!He somehow out shined everyone on stage and was the best actor there.
(Please read this comment and respond Chris!)(I know he won't tough..)
Chris captured my attention so well, I didn't notice Brad Pitt was the judge until 4 min in....This is soon amazing acting. No major props or gimmicks, just pure raw, talent.
This is why I love Chris! I saw a clip on tiktok and believed it although it was horrific to hear him say he’d have killed him self! Chris Colfer everyone, this guy is so incredibly talented!
this made me so sad even though its a play.
My friend came out to me and I say this whenever someone tells me someone is gay bi or lesbian doesn't mean they have change or you are any less of a human than you were before
Jessica Reeves same
Chris' acting is phenomenal in this. Ryan's story is very touching and Chris plays the part so well.
Chris Colfer is just special , He's one of a kind . If I could be any person i'd be him. Look at all the struggle he's been through and now he is an amazing actor and admired by everyone, he deserves it more than anyone else. I love you Chris.
Chris is so amazing, he portrays Ryan Kendall's story so moving and truly. It's hard for me to sit through this clip, I always have to fight from crying by the end of it. Well done Chris. :)
this hurts so much
"Um... I would, I would have probably killed myself" That makes me cry. :'(
I love Chris so much. He is a flawless actor.
WOOW I AM SO AMAZED BY HIS PERFORMANCE
...tears. lots of tears. he seems so..... extraordinarily good at acting.
I thought this was a real interview until I realized oh it's a scripted thing but I still nearly cried Chris is such a believable actor!
My experience with both Glee and Kurt Hummel has been inconsistent. What has always been consistent is the view that Chris Colfer is a wonderful actor, and this play shows it so well. He demonstrates with gravitas and pathos, while showing great timing. And my God, if he isn't regal, I don't know who is.
As someone who is gay… this honestly hit HARD!!! This is what gay people actually go through. I thought they were all serious until I heard the laughing 😂
Oh, my heart!
Colfer you are the most talented, inspirational and honestly beautiful man to walk this Earth.
He's phenomenal
Acting
Singing
Writing
He really is such an amazing actor.
This made me cry - not just over chris' performance but that this actually happens to people! Awful way to treat people and to speak to your own child
I hope to see '8' in full one day and not via you tube clips. In the meantime, i find these clips are so incredibly moving. The performances are incredible.
Chris is so freaking cute and such a great actor. I have a dream acting with him on a movie or TV series.
chris is a gorgeous guy I love him so much he so sweet and sexy I really hope I'll get to meet him one day that my wish
I think the last twenty seconds killed me.
Amazing job everyone!
Chris Colfer is so amazing I didn't even notice that the guys asking him questions were George Clooney and Kevin Bacon!
Omg his eye makes me cry ;(
To see Chris Colfer working with some of the Best Actors there are, Is Amazing! I think & feel that George Clooney sees something in Chris during the whole scene. I hope the 2 can work together again. It would be pretty cool to see them both in the same movie.
Same
Chris was awesome in this,he always wasnd will be!
Oh my God I thought this was real. That just proves that Chris is an amazing actor.
Saying Chris he's a great actor is and understatement no one else could have done this better
What expressive and beautiful eyes .
I really didn't read the description and I just told my friend and he's telling me that it was a play and I feel really stupid now. But I still love chris colfer so much and he's made such a big difference for me on glee and stuff.
WHAT A TALENT!!! OMG HE IS INCREDIBLE
hes so smart it feels real
At 0:35 - the lines said by Chris here are actually what happened to Chris in real life. He said he was bullied a lot in school, called all horrible names, and his mom had to take him out of school at times and home school him, just because the bullying became so bad for him.
Exactly. And that's so annoying. Can't people keep their hate to themselves? But Chris is so amazing in this video, too!
Ahhh he's adorable.
I feel incredibly sad by the reality of it, but Im so excited with how this is a play full of awesome actors.
I agree with TheTact76. I just think you're jealous of him that he's just so amazing and he's made of pure talent and all you can do is make hateful comments across the internet while hiding behind a mask of anonymity. It's very easy (and also cheap) to post hateful comments on youtube when no one knows who you are, but it's very difficult and amazing to do what Chris Colfer does and did.
Hold on.... Never mind its a play 😂... Wow I am so dumb, Chris is such a good actor ♥️
Ugh so good
my favorite line is 4:50 chris is a great actor! :)
