Mario Lopez is ready to dance with the stars again – this time with his own chorus line.
The Dancing with the Stars alum is slated to perform on the May 6th episode of the ABC hit with his fellow cast members of Broadway's A Chorus Line, Extra reports. The special performance is in celebration of the reality show’s landmark 100th episode.
The 34-year-old, who dates DWTS pro Karina Smirnoff (partner to R&B singer Mario this season) finished runner-up to Emmit Smith on the third season. He joined A Chorus Line on April 15 as Zach, a demanding director who is casting the chorus roles for a new Broadway musical.
"Everyone sings and dances except for the character I play, Zach," Mario says. "He doesn’t necessarily have to sing. I said, 'All right, that’s my guy!'"
