GLEE's Chord Overstreet to Guest Star on 'The Middle'

From McKinley High to Orson Elementary, Glee star and television heartthrob Chord Overstreet will guest star in the third season of the acclaimed hit comedy The Middle (Wednesdays 8/7c on ABC). Overstreet will guest star as Ralph Wilkerson, Brick Heck's shiny new, young and idealistic fourth grade teacher, whose innovative and involved teaching methods run counter to Frankie and Mike's "more relaxed" parenting style.

Overstreet will appear in the September 28 episode and will be shooting his scenes this week. Season three of The Middle returns to ABC with a one-hour season premiere (featuring guest star Ray Romano) on Wednesday, September 21, 2011, at 8/7c.

Created and executive produced by Eileen Heisler and DeAnn Heline, The Middle stars Patricia Heaton, Neil Flynn, Charlie McDermott, Eden Sher and Atticus Shaffer as the Hecks (Frankie, Mike, Axl, Sue and Brick), a middle-class family muddling their way through life in the middle of the country. The series is from Blackie and Blondie Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television.
