Jeff Goldblum to play gay dad in Glee
 

Jeff Goldblum is the latest star to bag a role on Glee.

The Jurassic Park actor will play one of Rachel's gay dads in the musical comedy series, while his partner will be played by Brian Stokes Mitchell, reports TVLine.com.

The actors are expected to sing when they appear in the US show as Hiram and LeRoy Berry.

Rachel (Lea Michele) often mentions her dads and Glee creator Ryan Murphy has previously said he would be 'interested' in seeing them on screen. Idina Menzel has already appeared as Rachel's mum.

The pair join a long line of stars who have shot cameo roles in the award-winning series, including How I Met Your Mother's Neil Patrick Harris, ER's John Stamos and Oscar-winner Gwyneth Paltrow, who scooped an Emmy for her recurring role as substitute teacher Holly Holliday.

Glee is expected to return to E4 in late February.
