Jeff Hephner to Play Football Coach on Hellcats
Matt Richenthal at .We have Hellcats casting news that fans will flip over. (Get it?!? The show is about cheerleaders? And fans might FLIP for this news?!? Nevermind.)
Jeff Hephner has landed a recurring role on the show. The actor - who has guest-starred on NCIS, Private Practice and Drop Dead Diva - will portray the football coach at the fictional college where this new CW drama is set.
According to Fancast, Hephner's character is named Red Raymond and he's a graduate of Lancer University. Look for him and Hellcats cheerleading coach Vanessa (Sharon Leal) to share a past.
Last week, we revealed that former 24 star D.B. Woodside had also nabbed a recurring role on the show.
We also published an extended promo for Hellcats, which you can view now and then decide: Will you give this show a chance?
