Broadway's Andy Mientus Joins Cast of CBS Medical Pilot LFE
Broadway veteran Andy Mientus, who recently appeared on The CW's hit series THE FLASH, has booked his small screen follow-up.
According to Deadline, the former SMASH star has signed on for CBS' upcoming medical pilot LFE, written by Paul Downs Colaizzo. Should LFE go to series, Mientus would be a regular cast member.
The project is a "high-octane medical procedural revolving around second-year residents at New York City's top hospital as they attempt to balance their god complexes with their humanity."
Mientus will take on the role of "Trevor, a second-year surgical resident. His hypervigilance makes him a fast reactor to threatening stimuli, so when a crisis situation comes along, he is able to rise above and save the day- though he nearly will have a panic attack while he does it."
Mientus recently made his Broadway debut in the current revival of LES MISERABLES. A Pittsburgh native, he toured the country in the first national tour of Spring Awakening and appeared in MCC Theater's production ofCarrie. On television, he was a series regular on the NBC musical drama "Smash," and this season has recurring roles on both the FX comedy "Anger Management" and the ABC Family drama "Chasing Life."
