Rick Springfield joins True Detective

Aussie expat Rick Springfield will be seen in the second season of True Detective.

“Just finished my 1st day of shooting for season 2 of HBO’s True Detective,” he recently tweeted. “What a great script. Working w/ Colin Farrell & Rachel McAdams!”

The former pop star played Noah Drake on General Hospital as far back as 1981 and has also appeared in Californication, Hot in Cleveland, Suddenly Susan, Drop Dead Diva and the original Battlestar Galactica.

It’s not clear if the Jesse’s Girl singer is playing himself on True Detective nor whether it is a guest or regular role.

Season Two also stars Vince Vaughan, Taylor Kitsch and Kelly Reilly.
