Monteith appeared as Finn Hudson in the Fox series Glee in 2009. Monteith's agent, Elena Kirschner, sent a video of him drumming with some pencils and Tupperware containers when Glee was being shot. Ryan Murphy, the series's creator, took note of the film but pointed out that he needed to be singing and dancing as well as acting. Monteith's "Can't Fight This Feeling" is his second, musical tape in which he performed, in his own words, "a cheesy '80s music video-style version" of REO Speedwagon's "Can't Fight This Feeling." He then attended a mass audition in Los Angeles; his vocal abilities were considered poor, but he later did a good job with one of Finn's casting directors, who said that his audition portrayed Finn's most elusive quality, his "naive, but not stupid," which he later said. Monteith described his casting process as "like a lot of boys, looking for something to be interested in." This is something to be passionate about. All you need is permission. Not just for Glee, but also for everything in life."
Finn is the star quarterback of his high school football team and he faces alienation from his classmates by joining the school's glee club. He is a popular jock at the top of the school's social hierarchy, but when he was forced to enroll the glee club, he loves it. His story lines have seen him struggle with his decision to remain in the club, which is at the bottom of the social ladder, while still retaining his celebrity and the admiration of the other jocks. Quinn Fabray (Dianna Agron) and glee club singer Rachel Berry (Lea Michele), to name two of the characters, and his storylines are increasingly focused on his relationship with them both.
During his time on the program, Monteith felt Finn had to "grow up a lot." Finn started off as the stereotypical dumb jock, but he's not dumb anymore, even though he's just a little nave." Finn's early reviews from television critics were mixed; Emily VanDerWerff of The A.V. In the pilot episode, Michele and his crew were "both agreed and a little hungry for a outlet." "We need to see a bit of a darker side to Finn," Eric Goldman of IGN said on the fifth episode of the first season, because up until now, Finn has been a little too strait-laced to fully invest in." "It's been a while since we've gotten some Finn focus, and I suspect I missed Cory Monteith in the second season's eighth episode, "Furt." I also forgot what a good, natural actor he is." Monteith as Finn received the 2011 Teen Choice Award for Choice TV: Actor Comedy, the same category he had been nominated for in 2010. Even if he wasn't a singer before being cast as Finn, Monteith performed lead or joint lead on a number of songs on the show.
