Yeah! Beiste is gonna be gettin’ some! Rumor has it Glee has cast a love interest for the chicken and pasta loving coach of Mckinley. Eric Bruskotter has been cast in a major recurring role that will not only have an impact on Beiste but probably the rest of the football team. Seeing as Finn isn’t sure about his future, this character will definitely be of some interest.
Details:
Looks like Coach Beiste could be ordering a second bowl of pasta the next time she calls for Breadstix takeout.
Nope, she’s not ramping up her carb-loading, and as far as we know, she’s not pregnant. But TVLine has learned exclusively that Beiste, played by the delightful Dot-Marie Jones (a 2011 Emmy nominee for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series), may have a very special dinner companion in her future.
Indeed, the show’s producers have cast Eric Bruskotter in what’s being described as a major recurring role of Johnny, a football recruiter who comes scouting for talent at McKinley, but finds he can’t take his eyes off the team’s gruff but big-hearted coach. Bruskotter has previously had recurring roles on 24, Six Feet Under and Providence, and most recently appeared in an episode of Franklin & Bash.
The prospect of this football recruiter being fashioned as a love interest for Beiste got a winning reception from Jones when we ran the idea by her recently. “Oh my God… I’ll have to talk to Ryan Murphy about that!” she beamed.
I’m actually really excited about this. I feel like I’ve seen this guy in everything and he’s always been charming. Can’t wait!
Squee! Glee fans..or Happy Days fans in this case! Join my happiness in learning just who has been cast as Emma’s parents for season 3 of Glee. Sure the picture gives it away but in case you can’t tell, click the cut and find out!
Spoilers:
It’s Ralph Malph! Happy Days fans will be happy to learn that Don Most has been cast as Emma’s dad.
Via TvGuide:
Glee has cast Don Most and Valerie Mahaffey to play Rusty and Rose Pillsbury, the parents of guidance counselor Emma Pillsbury (Jayma Mays), TVGuide.com has learned exclusively.
It’s clear now where our favorite obsessive-compulsive ginge may have gotten her red hair. Most is best known for playing the redheaded jokester Ralph Malph on Happy Days. Mahaffey has received an Emmy nomination for her supporting role as Eve on Northern Exposure and has a history of playing seemingly normal but rather intense (read: crazy) redheaded ladies, such as the Orson-loving Alma Hodge on Desperate Housewives. Hmm, “intense” could be a trait in the Pillsbury DNA.
Ryan Murphy is staying true to his word and putting some more focus on the rest of the main cast this year. Mike Chang is one of them and EW reports that his parents have just been cast! Looks like we’ll be getting a glimpse of Mike’s home life:
Exhibit A: We’re about to meet the parents of Mike Chang!
EW has learned exclusively that Tamlyn Tomita (The Joy Luck Club) and Keong Sim (The Last Airbender) will play mom and pop to Mike, played by Harry Shum Jr. The duo will appear in the third episode of the season, which airs Oct. 4.
Glee returns September 20th.
What a great day for Boy Meets World fans! If you’re a fan of both BMW and Pretty Little Liars like we are, then you’re going to love this! Anthony Tyler Quinn AKA Mr. Turner will be joining the cast of Pretty Little Liars! From the looks of it, he’ll be bringing a new love interest with him.
Details on who he’ll be playing:
Via EW:
EW had learned exclusively that Mr. Turner, erm, Anthony Tyler Quinn is coming to Rosewood.
Quinn will play Ron, an old friend and colleague of Aria’s dad Byron (Chad Lowe), who returns to town from overseas, with a 16-year-old hottie son in tow. Quinn, whose other credits include Melrose Place and Caroline in the City, is currently only in one episode, but is scheduled to appear in episodes that will air in early 2012, when the second half of season 2 gets underway.
I’m so excited to see Mr. Turner back on my screen. It feels like vindication after he disappeared after crashing his motorcycle and dragging Shawn out of a cult.
Vanessa Lengies joins the cast of Glee as “Sugar.” Fans may remember her from American Dreams. She is the second casting announcement to come out from the new season.
Details on who she will be playing:
Another fresh face will be turning up in the halls of McKinley High when Glee returns this fall. American Dreams alum Vanessa Lengies is joining the Fox hit’s Season 3 cast in the recurring role of Sugar, a new student who is described as a cross between Molly Shannon and a New Jersey Housewife.
Sugar was born with a silver spoon in her mouth and a tin ear. Basically, she can’t carry a tune to save her life, but I’m guessing that won’t stop her from auditioning for a spot in New Directions.
