'Crazy Ex-Girlfriend' casts 'Pitch Perfect' star Skylar Astin for final fourth season

'Crazy Ex-Girlfriend' has cast 'Pitch Perfect' star Skylar Astin for The CW romantic musical comedy's fourth and final season, it was announced on Monday (Aug 6) at the Television Critics Association press tour. Astin, who showcased his pipes as Jesse in the first two 'Pitch Perfect' films and last starred in Epix's 'Graves', will play a new love interest for show-creator Rachel Bloom's character Rebecca Bunch. No further character details for Astin's character were revealed. During the show’s panel, showrunner Aline Brosh McKenna said the character was spawned from an idea by her and Bloom as to how Greg and Rebecca’s romance would end. She says they explored the idea of bringing back the character of Greg, but reimagined by a different actor, who we now know is Astin.
