Deadline reports that actor Eric Bruskotter — who's appeared in shows including 24 and Six Feet Under — has landed a part on the hit series as "Johnny, a football recruiter who comes scouting for talent at McKinley [High School], but finds he can’t take his eyes off the team’s gruff but big-hearted coach".
The role is recurring, meaning Johnny could potentially woo Beiste for a while.
Glee is often exploring its characters romantic lives, but this is the first affair for Beiste — unless you count that super-awkward plot in season two where she kissed Mr Schue, which frankly we'd rather just forget all about.
