Jeremy Jordan joins Smash

Jeremy Jordan, who was nominated for a 2012 Tony Award for his starring role in Newsies, has been cast in the second season of Smash.

He's going to play a character with a "self-destructive" streak.

Jeremy performed a number with the company at the Tony Awards last weekend.

I probably need to watch Newsies now!

From TVLine:

Rising Broadway heartthrob Jeremy Jordan, who earned a 2012 Tony nod for his starring role in Newsies, is joining the second season of NBC’s musical drama as a series regular, TVLine has learned.

Jordan will play a very sexy (and straight) Brooklyn-born singer with a self-destructive streak.

Jordan — who will continue to appear in Newsies while he shoots Smash — guest-starred on Law & Order: SVU in 2008 and also had a role in the Queen Latifah comedy Joyful Noise.
