Glee Casts Love Interest For Coach Beiste

Yay! Coach Beiste is finally going to get the chance to kiss someone who isn't Will. Urgh. Can you imagine if that tool was your first kiss?

TvLine is reporting that a love interest for Beiste has been cast. Aww I've always loved this actor.

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.
