Struck by Lightning tells the story of how Colfer's character blackmailed other high school students to contribute to a literary magazine.

Colfer also told THR that he's cheering for the Mad Men actress to take the Emmy Award for outstanding supporting actress in a drama series on Sunday, "I'm really looking forward to hopefully seeing her win."

Hendricks is nominated for playing sexy Joan Harris on the AMC series. She's up against last year's winner in the category, The Good Wife's Archie Panjabi, and Boardwalk Empire's Kelly Macdonald, The Killing's Michelle Forbes, Justified's Margo Martindale, and The Good Wife's Christine Baranski.

Hendricks appears in theaters this weekend in the Ryan Gosling stunt car driver thiller, Drive.
