Don’t worry, Layla: Nashville‘s newest addition isn’t gunning for a chance as Rayna’s next big Highway 65 artist.
Tony winner Steve Kazee (Shameless, Broadway’s Once) has been cast as Riff, a former country star who turned away from the business for the good of his family, our sister site Deadline reports.
