While audiences wait for Will to get a boyfriend on the gay-themed sitcom Will & Grace, Cupid is finally coming through for Grace—Woody Harrelson will play Grace’s new boyfriend in a four-episode arc scheduled to air during the May sweeps. “Everybody here at Will & Grace had a woody over Woody,” series cocreator–executive producer David Kohan told The Hollywood Reporter. “It feels like a real coup.” Harrelson will play a resident of Will and Grace’s building who gets caught removing Grace’s laundry from the building’s dryer so he can wash his own. From an antagonistic beginning, romance blooms. The role will reunite Harrelson with Cheers executive producer James Burrows, who directs Will & Grace.
