Kevin McHale received major applause over his emotional performance of Camilla Cabello’s track, “Nicotine”, which left many stunned on the reality-singing competition “The X Factor: Celebrity”.
The video of him shined a new light on the 31-years-old Texan native, but who exactly is this talented singer and why does he seems so familiar? Find out:

To answer the latter, Kevin is most recognisable when he got his biggest break when he stared in the hit television show “Glee”. There, he played the role of disabled student Artie Abrams.
Kevin McHale before “Glee” has already made many small appearance in the small screen before, such as his 2007’s guest appearance in the comedy series “The Office” (American version) and also the popular Nickelodeon’s teen drama “Zoey 101”.
