Smash has found one of its three new cast members in Tony Award nominee and Newsies star Jeremy Jordan.

Jordan will join NBC’s musical drama as a series regular for season 2, TVLine has confirmed.

As we reported last month, Smash will be adding three new characters in its upcoming season. TVLine reports that Jordan will be playing a “very sexy (and straight) Brooklyn-born singer with a self-destructive streak,” which fits the description of Danny.

Jordan will continue his run on Newsies, for which he picked up a Tony nomination for lead actor in a musical, as he films Smash.

What do you think of this casting? Who should play Courtney and Joe – the other characters NBC is casting?
