Either Cheyenne ("Finiin's Rainbow") joins "30 Rock"

Either Cheyenne Jackson has a great agent or the actor's really on a
roll. Maybe both.

The 34-year-old actor opened this week on Broadway in the revival of
the musical "Finian's Rainbow," which has received nearly unanimously
positive reviews. And today comes word that Jackson is set to join the
cast of NBC's "30 Rock," starting with the Nov. 12 episode.

A post on Afterelton.com reports that Jackson will play an actor on
"TGS," which is the show-within-the-show. The story says that
Jackson's character is named "Danny / Jack Baker" and that the other
characters aren't entirely happy with his arrival.

The site even has pictures from "30 Rock" showing Jackson acting
alongside Tracy Morgan and others. It's not clear if Jackson is
joining the series as a regular cast member or a recurring guest star.

On top of that, Jackson and Michael Feinstein will release their album
of show tunes titled "The Power of Two" on Nov. 3.

Jackson, who is openly gay, is a staple of the New York theater scene
and has performed in such high-profile Broadway musical productions as
"Xanadu" and "All Shook Up."

In "Finian's Rainbow," playing at the St. James Theater, Jackson plays
the character Woody, a small-town lad who finds himself caught up in a
comic plot revolving around a pot of gold. The reviewer for Variety
wrote that "Jackson's supple voice and relaxed leading-man confidence
are a smooth fit" for his character.

Some actors only dream of career synergy like this. Culture Monster
hopes Cheyenne is enjoying it while it lasts.
