Annaleigh Ashford has joined the cast of Fox’s upcoming two-hour television adaptation of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, which airs this fall. She’ll play castle groupie Columbia, who in “Time Warp” is memorably heard walking down the street just-a having a think. Ashford is a series regular on Masters of Sex and a veteran of the Broadway stage, having starred in Kinky Boots and Legally Blonde. She recently earned her first Tony Award for her performance in the 2014 revival of You Can’t Take It With You.

Ashford joins cast members Laverne Cox as Frank-N-Furter, Victoria Justice as Janet, Ryan McCartan as Brad, Adam Lambert as Eddie, Reeve Carney as Riff Raff, Staz Nair as Rocky, and Tim Curry as the Criminologist.

Adam is itching to go into films; he is a very exciting actor, a brand new face on the tv screen which may eventually land him a meaty movie role. That would be it! I feel that's Adam's next huge leap. Wah, his name is listed in a renown movie musical cast. That has been quite some time, since The Ten Commandments etc. Maybe someone finally heard him sing:
'I tried to believe
In God and James Dean
But Hollywood sold out...' and wanted to give him more hope to believe in Hollywood.
Looking forward to his acting stint on the Rocky Horror tv movie. By the way, isn't this Rocky Horror Show likened by Simon, to Adam's Born To Be Wild AI performance...wild it is.

You're right, Lam-My, I remember when Simon said that..... it's just one MORE "full-circle" event that seems to keep turning up in Adam's career!

What's next?

But, Lammy, going into films might take Adam away from his music, and that would be a shame.
Unless... be still my heart ... Hollywood decided to open up a whole new era of musicals, like I loved so much during my school days (Singing in the Rain, Showboat, American in Paris, etc.)

In fact, the BEST musical I could imagine would be the story of Adam's life!... as long as HE could star in it! Kind of a musical "Rocky". Yaaasss!!!!!
