SMASH Recruits Uma Thurman

NBC has nabbed another big name star for their new musical drama, SMASH: Uma Thurman!

The network has confirmed to Give Me My Remote that Thurman will appear in five episodes of the brand new series. While NBC declined to comment on the specifics of her role, EW is reporting that she’ll play “a famous and somewhat difficult movie star who flirts with the idea of starring in ‘Marilyn’” — which is the new Broadway show the show’s characters will be creating/producing/acting in.

The Debra Messing-led SMASH debuts February 6, 2012 at 10 PM on NBC. Will you be tuning in?
