The 33-year-old "Sex and the City" actor says he will be appearing in the series as a love interest to regular cast Rachel Griffiths' character Sarah Walker.
He tells Us magazine, "We just sealed the deal. I got a call that producers wanted to write a part for me. I'm thrilled it worked out and that I get to prove myself. The writers and I had a long conversation, and they wanted to know who I am, inside and out."
But the actor - who played Kim Cattrall's Samantha Jones' summer love in the "Satc" big screen adaptation - isn't nervous at all in joining the Sally Field-starrer series.

Blow Dry - Movie Review - A Gem From The Vault In Honor Of Natasha Richardson
18 March 2009 6:28 PM, PDT | From AreYouScreening.com | See recent AreYouScreening news
In honor of Natasha Richardson, an older review of one of her finer roles, in a grossly underappreciated film. Indie-Brit (or perhaps, Indie-u.K.) is practically its own genre at this point. In recent years there have been a host of movies that, to one degree or another, feel like they belong together, and not just because of where they were filmed, or where they take place. Movies like: ‘The Full Monty’, ‘Lucky Break’, ‘Waking Ned Devine’, ‘Billy Elliot’, ‘Brassed Off’, and others serve to define the genre. These are movies that aren’t merely made in the same place (often by the same people), but they are saying largely the same thing, and are mainly made for the same audience. That seems like a genre to me. Another notable of the group, and in keeping with its fine tradition (if you think it’s fine, a tradition, or indeed

Elton took his turn at the piano to play "Benny and the Jets" for his guests and also shared a few words, saying, "People are going through tremendous hardship. In this time of hardship, we are going to raise as much money as we possibly can."

First Ledger Scholarship Awarded
22 February 2009 6:05 AM, PST | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news
The inaugural scholarship established in late actor Heath Ledger's name has been awarded to Australian performer Oliver Ackland.
The $10,000 (£7,000) fund, established by Ledger's ex-fiancee Michelle Williams and friends following his death last year, was given to Ackland at a party for Australian Oscar nominees at Hollywood's Chateau Marmont Hotel on Friday.
Ackland was hand-picked from a pool of 150 applicants by The Dark Knight star's pals and colleagues, including actress Rachel Griffiths.
In presenting the award, filmmaker Greg Jordan, who directed Ledger in Two Hands, told the crowd: "Rachel Griffiths said 'How do we judge this? Are we looking for the next Heath Ledger?'
"We all said 'No. There is no next Heath Ledger, but there's plenty of other people.'"
And for rising star Ackland, 29, the prize was especially meaningful - Ledger has always been one of his role models.
He said: "The fact that it is in his name means the world. I admired Heath and I admired the work that he chose, the path he created for himself. It shows a lot of integrity on his behalf."
Australian stars Nicole Kidman, Naomi Watts and Hugh Jackman all contributed to the bursary, which includes flights to Los Angeles and introductions to agents and casting directors.
