Yes, you read that headline correctly. Jesse L. Martin has scored a six-episode recurring arc on NBC’s hit musical drama, Smash, when it returns mid-season.

With Martin’s successful run as a cast member on the Tony award-winning Rent, I’m sure he’ll feel right at home on Smash. In addition to his extensive career both on and off Broadway in such shows as The Merchant of Venice and A Winter’s Tale, he is also known for his initial portrayal of a doctor who was the love interest for the title character in Ally McBeal. He then went on to play Detective Ed Green on Law & Order and later starred on the series The Philanthropist.

Martin will play Scott Welker, the artistic director of the Manhattan Theatre Workshop. His storyline crosses with virtually every cast member, and I can’t wait to see how that plays out. I’m picturing a lot of drama and even some romance. I wonder which one of our starring ladies will be on the receiving end.

Love TV, movies, and books--mostly mysteries, with a good love story thrown in every now and then. I have four adopted dogs who I adore. I love trying new recipes, and enjoy eating what I make. English language perfectionist. Reading in bed, Italian food, warm weather, the beach, all types of games = favs!
