Rules of Engagement star, Oliver Hudson, will join Nashville’s sophmore season.
Deacon and Rayna shippers, clutch your pearls! Rayna Jaymes is getting a new love interest. Oliver Hudson has been cast as a tough, Nashville businessman who sets his sights on Rayna. TV Line was the first to report the news that Hudson will play a charming and fearless executive at Rayna’s label.
