Jesse McCartney Joins The Cast Of Greek

 

ABC Family has cast recording artist Jesse McCartney ("Summerland") in a role that will fuel the rivalry between the Kappa Tau's and Omega Chi's. McCartney will play Andy, a high school friend of Calvin's (Paul James), who also happens to be a highly sought after pledge. GREEK returns for its sophomore season on ABC Family in Spring 2009. Ken Marino ("Veronica Mars," "Reaper") is also set to guest star in the mid-season premiere as a fellow summer camp counselor with Rusty, played by Jacob Zachar.

GREEK will return with all new episodes as Casey (Spencer Grammer) enters her senior year at Cyprus-Rhodes University and is faced with secret sorority and spies while Rusty (Jacob Zachar) returns as a sophomore and an active Kappa Tau member. Meanwhile, the fraternities and sororities are bracing for an exciting rush week with new incoming students — let the battles begin!

On the heels of its record-setting sophomore debut, ABC Family's "Greek" bucked the TV trend, hitting series highs in its second episode in Women 18-34 (804,000), Women 18-49 (790,000) and Females 12-34 (1.0 million), despite facing the second hour of the CW's highly-promoted series launch of "90210." Sophomore season to date, "Greek" is TV's #1 series on Tuesdays at 9 o'clock in Female Teens, and cable's #1 scripted series in Women 18-34 and Females 12-34, and delivers Top 5 ranks against all cable in Adults 18-34 and Viewers 12-34. Second season to date, "Greek" outperforms its freshman season by double-digit percentages in across key Adult, Women and 12-34 demographics.
