Great news. Emmy Award winner and two-time Tony Award nominee Bobby Cannavale will appear as a special guest star in all 10 episodes of the fourth season of NURSE JACKIE.

Cannavale will join the amazing cast including Edie Falco as a formidable hospital administrator sent by the new conglomerate that buys the financially beleaguered All Saint’s Hospital to improve the hospital’s efficiency and profitability. This will for sure shake things up on Showtime’s hit show.  Production on season four begins in September in New York for a 2012 premiere.

Cannavale earned an Emmy for his performance as Will’s boyfriend on NBC’s “Will & Grace” and the Broadway veteran most recently starred opposite Chris Rock in the critically acclaimed “Motherf**ka With the Hat,” for which he was again nominated for a Tony.
