Tony Nominee & Frozen Star Santino Fontana Will Star Opposite Jennifer Lopez in Shades of Blue

Santino Fontana has been tapped for the Jennifer Lopez-led Shades of Blue! According to Deadline, the Barry Levinson-helmed new NBC drama follows cops who are effective at keeping the streets safe, but also corrupt when it comes to lining their pockets and protecting their own.

The Broadway and Frozen fave will take on the role of Stuart Saperstein, a tough police officer with a big heart who is extremely loyal to both his crew and his mom, with whom he still lives. For some reason Fontana's character is more confident on the street than with the opposite sex…The TV series will also star Ray Liotta and Drea de Matteo.

Fontana, who starred in Act One on the Great White Way last year, received a Tony nomination for Cinderella and has also appeared on Broadway in The Importance of Being Earnest and Brighton Beach Memoirs. He is next set to be seen on stage in Zorba! at Encores. Additional screen credits include Mozart In The Jungle and Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit.
