Brett Bukowski, commonly known as Stoner Brett, is a recurring character on Glee, who made his first appearance in The Substitute, the seventh episode of Season Two. He currently is a student at McKinley, and is heavily implied to use drugs.
He is played by Ryan Heinke.
Biography[]
He is seen in Kurt's English class. Brett appears to be high on drugs and Kurt remarks that he smells homeless.

He makes a brief appearance when Brittany is seen handing out balloons for her presidential campaign. When she promises to repair water fountains and instate "robot teachers," Brett gets excited and exclaims that he's "always wanted one!"
Santana is sitting in the library while the whole school is buzzing about her sex tape "2 girls, 1 cat" and Brett tells her that she "makes a cat emptying the dishwasher look sexy," then he tells her that he loves her.

He auditions for Glee Club but he wasn't able to make the team due to his poor singing abilities. New Directions look completely disappointed during his performance. Stoner Brett must have been rejected, since Marley is stated to have been the only aspirant to be accepted.


Stoner Brett is seen at the Senior Class Presidential Campaign. He is seen yelling out at the beginning. Sam and Blaine, Brittany and Artie debate against each other. When Artie speaks for his side, Brett is seen with a bored expression as Artie's words drone on. When Sam goes shirtless and strips, Brett and everyone else in the auditorium goes crazy. When Brittany says that she'll make everyone at McKinley stay at school, even for the weekends, and be at school together as friends because they love the school, everyone groans and Stoner Brett gets up and leaves the debate with annoyance.
Brett can be seen in a flashback, making fun of Jake with his friends while he's passing them by.
Brett goes to the Sadie Hawkins dance and gets invited to dance by Dottie. They're shown dancing together during I Only Have Eyes for You. At the end of the episode, he is mentioned by Dottie, saying he has baked some brownies which she can't stop eating, implying they were made with an addictive drug.
He is a part of the Astronomy Club and is part of the meeting led by Brittany. He is glad that the comet was false and that they're all safe but when Brittany announces the disbandment of the club, he voices his disappointment as it was his community service.
