Matt Bomer to Duet with Darren Criss on GLEE
As previously reported, actor Matt Bomer has been cast on Fox's GLEE in the role of the older brother of Darren Criss' Blaine Anderson. According to a report today on TVLine.com, "After some long and intense negotiations, '80s supergroup Duran Duran has cleared two - possibly three - tracks for the hit Fox series," and the songs will be sung by Criss and Bomer as a mash-up.
Criss recently finished a run on Broadway in HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS WITHOUT REALLY TRYING. Bomer, who stars in the USA network series 'White Collar', is slated to appear on the show in April.
GLEE creator Ryan Murphy recently cast Bomer in his upcoming film adaptation of Larry Kramer's award-winning play 'The Normal Heart' along with actors Julia Roberts and Jim Parsons. Larry Kramer will adapt his script for the movie.
'The Normal Heart' played a 12-week limited engagement on Broadway from April to July 2011. The production won three 2011 Tony® Awards, including Best Revival of a Play, Best Featured Actress in a Play (Ellen Barkin) and Best Featured Actor in a Play (John Benjamin Hickey). The play was also honored as last season's Best Revival of a Play by the Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle and Drama League Awards and received Drama Desk Awards for Best Ensemble and Best Direction of a Play, along with a Special Citation from the New York Drama Critics Circle.
