Tony Award winner John Lloyd Young, who will be seen in the new feature film "Oy Vey My Son Is Gay," has landed a guest-starring role on the new Fox television series "GLEE."
Playbill.com has learned that the former star of Broadway's Jersey Boys will play a retired wood shop teacher with an excellent singing voice.
The new series from Ryan Murphy, creator of "Nip/Tuck," is scheduled to begin production shortly. An air date for the first episode has yet to be announced.
"GLEE," according to press notes, is an "inspiring one-hour musical comedy that follows an optimistic high school teacher as he tries to transform the school's Glee Club and inspire a group of ragtag performers to make it to the biggest competition of them all: Nationals."
The cast features Matthew Morrison, Jayma Mays, Chris Colfer, Amber Riley, Kevin McHale, Jenna Ushkowitz, Lea Michele, Cory Monteith, Dianna Agron, Mark Salling, Jessalyn Gilsig and Jane Lynch.
