A Vulture Guide to Telling Apart the Wills of Rubicon and Glee

This Sunday before Mad Men, AMC will officially launch its third original series, Rubicon, which follows the adventures of Will Travers, a brilliant think-tank intelligence analyst whose bosses might be up to no good. Some viewers may have already noticed, though, that Travers bears more than a passing resemblance to another popular TV Will — Glee’s Mr. Schue, who shares a similar bone structure, hairstyle, and penchant for breaking into song (just kidding about that last one, we think). How to tell them apart? Our handy guide, after the jump.
