Finally! In a mystery that has gone on for three seasons..only not really because the original actors are still available..Glee has finally cast Rachel’s celebrity dads. This is one casting decision that I am thrilled about.
Who is it?
Jeff Goldblum and Brian Stokes Mitchell!
Via TVLine:
A show insider confirms to TVLine exclusively that onetime Law & Order: Criminal Intent detective Jeff Goldblum and Broadway veteran Brian Stokes Mitchell have been tapped to play Hiram and LeRoy Berry, the adoptive parents of Lea Michele’s character.
The duo will first appear in the show’s Valentine’s Day episode — which as luck would have it will actually air on Feb. 14, and is titled “Heart.” And yes, they will sing.
Jeff Goldblum is gonna sing?? Can’t contain our excitement.
I am way too excited for this. James Caan will be joining his son Scott Caan in a guest starring spot on Hawaii Five-0. According to a tweet by CBS, his appearance will come sometime in February. I wonder who he’ll be playing. It’d be kind of awesome if he was playing Danno’s dad.
I think it’s safe to say Glee has lifted its No Guest Star ban. Helen Mirren has been cast in season 3. Here’s the twist: She will be heard and not seen. Rumor has it she’ll be playing the inner voice of a not yet revealed character. Fans are buzzing that Brittany (who isn’t ridiculous enough as it is) may have the Queen has her inner monologue. Or perhaps, Lord Tubbington.
Sage Brocklebank has been cast in Once Upon A Time. He will be joining the show as everyone’s favorite jerk; Gaston.
Um..YES PLEASE. Law and Order SVU alum Chris Meloni is being courted for a major role in season 5 of True Blood. Fans of Chris have missed him on screen since his departure from SVU so this should make them happy. Especially when said show involves nudity.
Spoilers:
Via TVLine:
Line has learned exclusively that the former Law & Order: SVU front man is circling what my sources are calling a “major role” in the show’s upcoming fifth season.
But what role? An HBO rep declined to comment, but I hear Meloni — who’s currently shooting a top-secret role in The Man of Steel — is in talks to play (duh) an incredibly powerful vampire.
If a deal comes to pass, this would be a major casting coup for True Blood. It would also mark a high-profile return to the small screen for Meloni following his sudden departure from SVU last spring.
