Dancer-actor Derek Hough will appear in 'Nashville's third season in a multi-episode storyline.
The five-time 'Dancing with the Stars' champion has been cast as the charming film star Noah West, reported Deadline.
Noah West encounters the musicians of Nashville while preparing to star in a biopic about a legendary country music star.
Hough previously acted in ABC's short-lived comedy 'Better with You', but 'Nashville' will be his first major role.
It has also been confirmed that Alexa PenaVega and Laura Benanti have signed up for multi-episode arcs in 'Nashville'.
The show will also make history with an episode that cuts between previously filmed dramatic scenes and live musical performances from the show's Bluebird Cafe set.
'Nashville' third season will premiere on September 24.
