Jeff Goldblum and Brian Stokes Mitchell are Rachel Berry’s Gay Dads on Glee
Ugh. More guest stars. Jeff Goldblum and Brian Stokes Mitchell are playing Rachel Berry’s gay dads on Glee.
You know how horrible this news is? Our resident Gleecap writer Noelle couldn’t even be bothered to post it because she turns into a hater everytime Ryan Murphy leaks guest star info week after week. Last June, he told TVLine that “We’re not going to have any guest stars. And we’re going to do fewer songs.”
Well, guess what? He’s a liar. But everyone knows that by now.
Read the report:
From THR:
It may have taken nearly three seasons, but Rachel’s (Lea Michele) gay dads will finally make an appearance on Fox’s Glee.
Musically inclined actors Jeff Goldblum and Broadway veteran Brian Stokes Mitchell have booked the plumb roles, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed. The actors will first appear in the Feb. 14 Valentine’s Day episode, titled “Heart,” as first reported by TV Line.
Glee co-creator Ryan Murphy told THR in June that he was “really interested” in seeing the two characters, who have been referenced countless times but never seen on screen.
“I’m really interested in seeing Rachel’s gay dads who we’ve never met,” he said at the time. “I’ve said that I don’t want to do that. But maybe now is the time to do it.”

nfgc86 Brian IS black. Just light skinned. Just fyi.
I googled him after and recognized him...
nfgc86 He is mixed race and in his bio he states his heritage is (in this order) : German, Scottish, African and Native american. So I guess that makes him black then!
LOL!
I finally gave in and made an account to come on here and declare just how excited and thrilled I am that Jeff Goldblum is joining the cast :D I do feel bad for the original guys that they had though.
Rickey Ugh this sucks. It sends notifications.
But yay! Jeff Goldblum! I'd rather see him than Gloria Estefan tbh.
Noelle You can turn it off in your settings. But that's why I like it -- I get to see who responds to my comments. I wouldn't have seen this if I didn't get an e-mail just now.
Notice how I'm commenting more frequently now?
Rickey This valentine's episode is gonna be amazing. First Blaine isn't gonna be in it at all and now I get to see Jeff Goldblum be fab? Amahzing.
NoelleRickey Erm....Noelle...I read all of your Glee reviews and I like my boy Darren so we need to not bash the cute guy...even if his character of Blaine is contrived, and has become over-the-top, a reality stretch, too sprightly for words, annoying, and devoid of any interesting character traits. He's still my boy. 'kay? Thanks! ;)
Mikhail XORickey I'll tryyyy. You're my only reader.
Isn't one of Rachel's fathers supposed to be Black? Consistency means nothing to the writers. It may seem nit picky of me, but I'd love to know why they didn't cast a Black actor.
