For the multitalented veterans of Fox's hit musical series "Glee," the answer depends on what you mean by "have a career." Because most of them went on to release music at some point in the eight years since the show ended. 

Lea Michele, who played Rachel, has probably had the most success on this front. She's released four full albums so far, two of which placed on the prestigious Billboard 200 charts. 

But co-stars Amber Riley (who played Mercedes), Chord Overstreet (Sam), Kevin McHale (Artie), Darren Criss (Blaine), and Jane Lynch and Matthew Morrison (who played teachers Sue Sylvester and Will Schuester, respectively) have all released music. 

Some of them have also branched out into Broadway and other stage-musical roles, and they've all kept a foot in screen acting as well. So if by "have a career in music" you mean dedicate themselves full time to being musicians, the answer is no. 

Instead, they've more or less continued doing what they were doing on "Glee" — blending together acting, singing and, in some cases, behind-the-scenes producing to create something that's bigger than the sum of those parts.
