Cheyenne Jackson, who returns to Broadway shortly in the revival of Finian's Rainbow, may be joining the cast of the Emmy-winning NBC comedy "30 Rock."
Eonline reports that Jackson will join the cast as a "permanent or semi-permanent player." The on-line entertainment source also says that the former Xanadu star has already begun filming. NBC has yet to issue a formal announcement.
Writer-actor Tina Fey said earlier this week that the show would soon cast a love interest for Tony winner Jane Krakowski. Perhaps Broadway stars Jackson and Krakowski — who co-starred in the City Center Encores! staging of Damn Yankees — will enjoy an on-screen romance.
Cheyenne Jackson, who was seen in the film "United 93," has appeared on Broadway in Xanadu, All Shook Up, Aida and Thoroughly Modern Millie. He starred in the premiere cast of Altar Boyz, and his regional credits include West Side Story, The Most Happy Fella, Children of Eden, Hair, Carousel, Damn Yankees and Kismet. Jackson is a member of the Broadway Inspirational Voices and was seen Off-Broadway in The Agony and the Agony and at City Center in Damn Yankees and Finian's Rainbow.
