“30 Rock” alumn Cheyenne Jackson scores guest role on “Mockingbird Lane”

Last Updated on July 23, 2021

Man NBC’s “Mockingbird Lane” is sure moving quick, isn’t it? When this thing was first announced it almost seemed like it was going to take forever. Suddenly I’m expecting this shite to premiere next week! My how time flys when you’re having fun.

Of course “Mockingbird Lane” isn’t premiering next week. No. We’re a few months off from that. But that doesn’t mean we can’t keep you updated with the latest casting news from the show! According to Deadline Hollywood “30 Rock” alumni Cheyenne Jackson is the first name to sign on as a non-family member. The actor (right) will be playing Scout Master Steve, Eddie’s charming, cheerful new Scout Master, a widower with no children of his own who becomes smitten with Lily.

The madness begins when a baby bear attacks a scouting trip, only it turns out that this “bear” is actually Eddie transformed into a werewolf. Eddie is unaware of his metamorphosis and it forces the family to move in order to protect the family secret. The coming of age story gets weirder as he fights against his family when he learns of a shocker: they’re a family of flesh-eaters!

Jackson joins the previously cast Portia de Rossi (below), Jerry O’Connell, Eddie Izzard, Mason Cook and Charity Wakefield in “Mockingbird Lane,” which should start filming soon if it hasn’t already done so.
