No details about Blonsky's character were available, or about how many episodes she will appear on. However, Blonsky's new castmate Wesley Taylor, who plays Bobby on the series, tweeted a picture of Blonsky on the set of the series Monday morning.
Blonsky joins a growing list of actors who have come aboard the show for its second go-round. Last week, NBC said that original "Rent" star Jesse L. Martin had signed on for a six-episode arc as Scott Welker, the artistic director of the fictional Manhattan Theatre Workshop. "Dreamgirls" star Jennifer Hudson has also signed on for a multi-episode run, as Tony Award-winning Broadway star Veronica Moore.
