SMASH Casting News: Theatre Vet Andy Mientus to Join Series
The casting news just keeps coming in for NBC’s musical drama Smash. News broke this morning that theatre vet Andy Mientus (pictured left) will join the season two cast as a series regular. He will play Kyle, a poor kid from Brooklyn with dreams of writing for Broadway. [Look out Tom and Julia, right?]
Kyle also happens to be best friends with Jimmy, the other new arrival to the show, to be played by Tony-nominated actor Jeremy Jordan (Newsies).
Mientus is a newcomer to TV audiences, but he has appeared as Hansche in the US tour of Spring Awakening and in the Off-Broadway revival of the Stephen King-inspired Carrie.
Smash is expected to be back on NBC sometime in the spring of 2013. [Source: TV Line]
