Colton Haynes to play Rob Lowe’s son in The Grinder
Reading this announcement may understandably cause some double takes, but Teen Wolf star Colton Haynes is about to get on The Grinder… as a guest star in the legal comedy of the same name.
The series stars Rob Lowe as actor Dean Sanderson Jr, who returns home after his television series ‘The Grinder’ (the show-within-the-show) wraps up production.
During his guest spot, which airs on February 2, Haynes will play Luke Grinder, the on-screen son of Rob Lowe’s on-screen character, Mitch Grinder. (Confused yet?)
Haynes’ character was reportedly added to the episode of a way of grounding Mitch and to set him back onto the back of putting his family first, reports Entertainment Weekly.
The 27-year-old shared the news across social media to his 3.5 million Instagram followers.
“So excited the news is out! I’m playing Rob Lowe’s son in The Grinder on Fox,” he says.
“Can’t tell ya how exciting this is for me. Rob is the nicest person in the world & I still can’t believe this is happening.”
