Carly Rae Jepsen Appears as Musical Guest Star on ABC's CASTLE Tonight

Recording artist Carly Rae Jepsen (Broadway's CINDERELLA) will play herself as a special musical guest on an upcoming episode of ABC's CASTLE titled "Dead From New York", airing TONIGHT, MAY 4 (10:01-11:00 p.m., ET).

In the episode, when Sid Ross, the powerful creator of a long-running sketch comedy show is killed, Castle and Beckett are called to investigate. But as they delve into the victim's life and the colorful world of "Saturday Night Tonight," they uncover a shocking secret that may explain Sid's murder.

Jaleel White will play Mickey Franks, a larger-than-life sketch comedy star with a tendency toward OUTRAGEOUS -- and possibly homicidal -- behavior.

Guest Cast: Carly Rae Jepsen as herself, Jaleel White as Mickey Franks, Gregory Harrison as Danny Valentine, James Eckhouse as Gene Vogel, Joy Osmanski as Liz Bell, Mark Rolston as Kurt Van Zant.

"Dead From New York" was written by Terence Paul Winter and directed by Jeannot Szwarc.
