Here’s a bit of casting news to hold you over for the return of New Girl! Today it was revealed that David Walton, Leslie Mann, and Niecy Nash will appear as guest stars in the sophomore season. The details sound for a promising storyline!
David Walton has signed on for a recurring role as a new love interest for Jess!
Entertainment Weekly reports:
He’s landed a recurring role in season two of New Girl when Jess falls for a “classic bad boy type.” His character mistakes Jess for someone else, but she decides to go along with it anyway. Expect him to show up in New Girl’s premiere on Sept. 25.
Leslie Mann will also appear in the premiere of season 2 and it sounds as though we can expect trouble with Schmidt.
She’ll play a “shot girl” whom Schmidt (Max Greenfield) hires to work his party celebrating the removal of his penis cast. (Finally got to use the term “penis cast” in a sentence.)
Nash will appear as a character completely new to the show and one that means bad news for Jess.
The Hollywood Reporter writes:
an early episode in the sophomore run features Jess getting her purse swiped, with the assailant being played by Niecy Nash.And Nash won’t be taking on just any run of the mill purse-snatcher, the Reno 911! star and former Dancing With the Stars competitor will also be playing a lady of the night.
You may recognize Walton from his spots on Bent, Happy Endings, or Perfect Couples. Mann is well known for her roles in Funny People, Knocked Up, and The 40 Year Old Virgin. Nash infamously played Deputy Raineesha Williams on Reno 911!
