It is being confirmed that Friday Night Lights has signed relative newcomer Grey Damon to join the season 5 cast in the series regular of Hastings Ruckle, a laid-back basketball player who ends up joining the Lions as a wide receiver.
The casting breakdown for the role called for a “super, super hot guy who must be over 6 feet tall with a strong athletic build.” The character possesses a “dark, hippie, party-guy vibe,” per the notice, “and kids — especially girls — gravitate to him because he seems not to care too much.”
Damon has had guest stints on Greek, Lincoln Heights, and 90210.
