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.
