UPFRONTS 2013: The Overachievers 
EXCLUSIVE: Law & Order alum Jesse L. Martin is returning to NBC with a recurring role on the network’s musical drama Smash. He will play Scott Welker, an Artistic Director of a theater company who has history with a couple of the characters, and I hear he may get involved with Debra Messing’s Julia. Martin is one of several high-profile recurring guest stars on the upcoming second season of Smash along with Jennifer Hudson and Sean Hayes. He has strong Broadway credentials joining a show set on Broadway — he was an original cast member of hit musical Rent among other stage roles. Martin, repped by ICM Partners and manager Bob McGowan, was most recently seen in the feature Joyful Noise.
TV Editor Nellie Andreeva - tip her here.

So was ABC silly enough to let that holding deal with him run out and not renew?
Why didn’t ABC use him ???????? I can’t believe they missed that boat , that’s why they are where they are.
I love Jesse Martin, but they sure are adding a lot of people to that show.
Bring back Ellis! WHY must the producers ruin everything interesting? JHUD, Sean Hayes and now Jesse L Martin. IDEA – since Hollywood is incapable of an original idea – TRY developing the characters. plot points and storylines you have.
Love jesse ! Hottest male on tv , hard to believe no in has used him yet ?? Good for NBC , mJor heartthrob !!!!
Love Jesse !! Team player, hard to believe abc did not use him , mind boggling !!!
Jesse Martin is a great talent !! You mean to tell me abc had him under a deal and did not use him ??? Wow ! What were they thinking ???
Jesse martin is not under contract now, why wouldnt the other net works jump on signing jesse ?
Jesse = Great move! Greenblatt knocks it so far out of the park I can’t even see it anymore! Boom goes the dynamite!
I like Jessie and can’t wait for the new season.
I was lucky to see Jesse a couple of times in Rent on Broadway. Hopefully we will get the chance to see him sing.
Jesse is sexy, a great actor and an amazing vocalist. he is going to be a great edition to Smash which I will not miss. i watched every episode of the first season and looking forward to season 2 when it returns.
Can’t wait too see him in this, great choice, no better actor or person for the job!!!! Congrats!!
i love jessie l martin,it seems that when there is a great actor avaliable to bring something new and exciting to the screen big or little they can never get any air-time, i really hope he makes it on this show looking forward to seeing him on screen weather it be big or little!!!! this guy never gets the credit he’s due i guess he’s not trashie enough or willing to compromise his standards. GOOD FOR YOU JESSIE
PS. still wating on the marvin gaye movie
