Welcome to Nashville, Riff.
Broadway star Steve Kazee makes his debut on the ABC country-music drama this March, and TVLine has an exclusive first glimpse of the Tony winner in his first episode.
As previously reported, Kazee’s character is a former country superstar who abandoned the music business when he fell in love with a woman who was an aspiring singer/songwriter herself. Now, he’s a family man and farmer.
Kazee will recur in the second half of Season 4, which resumes Wednesday, March 16 at 10/9c.
As you can see in the photo, Riff and Luke seem friendly — might the mogul be thinking about rebuilding his oft-mentioned brand by luring former star Riff to Wheelin’ Dealin’ Records?
Take a good look at the picture above, then hit the comments: What’s your prediction about Riff’s role in Nashville?
Garth Brooks story line. I really used to love Nashville, but it’s turned into a hot mess.
It’s always been a hot mess. But I continue to enjoy it.
YES!!! ME TOO 👍👍
What makes it a “hot mess”?? It’s a TV show and a drama at that?? I’m confused what you mean? Or is that a blanket statement and not referring to anything in particular
Steve Kazee has a beautiful voice, and he’s a fantastic actor. Can’t wait to see him on Nashville!
I’ve liked this guy since he guest-starred on NCIS (the episode was Recoil). He should do great on Nashville.
Sure hope we’re going to hear Kazee sing on the show.
They need a breath of fresh air to turn this show around, last season was a downer. I have high hopes for some new plots this season to bring us all back to the huge fans we want to be.
So he’s Garth Brooks then. OK looking forward to it.
Love Steve Kazee and can’t wait to see him on Nashville. Here’s hoping he’ll stick around if the show is picked up for another year.
