PHOTOSNick Viall Is Returning To TV & You Can't Say You Didn't See This Coming
Well, folks. It looks like Nick Viall isn’t done with the spotlight just yet (did you really think he was?). Despite previously telling Entertainment Tonight that he did not want to be famous, the former Bachelor star is gearing up to guest-star opposite Minnie Driver on ABC’s sitcom Speechless.
“Nick will play a hunky B-movie actor who takes his craft way too seriously,” according to the network. “After befriending JJ (Micah Fowler) on a set, ‘Tyson’ summons all his powers for the performance of a lifetime, deceiving Maya and Jimmy to get JJ out of hot water.”
Speechless follows a family, whose son JJ has cerebral palsy, as they navigate life with a child with special needs and face life’s daily challenges.
The up-and-coming actor’s episode is scheduled to shoot next week and air in late November.

The 37-year-old’s guest starring news comes just weeks after he announced his split from his fiancé and season 21 Bachelor winner Vanessa Grimaldi.
Speechless marks the fifth ABC TV show Nick has starred on, as the former Bachelor In Paradise and Bachelorette star appeared on Dancing With The Stars almost immediately after his time on The Bachelor.
