March 7, 2020Skyler Shuler

Glee alum, Vanessa Lengies has joined the cast of the Disney+ Turner & Hooch series, opposite Josh Peck, a reboot of the 1989 Tom Hanks led film of the same name.

According to Deadline, Lengies is set to play Erica, who is the chief trainer at the U.S. Marshal K-9 facility. When she’s with a dog, her cute awkwardness disappears and she is a natural leader. Erica is less comfortable with people, especially cute guys like Scott Turner (Peck), who is oblivious to Erica’s interest in him. Erica is on board to train Hooch, as a new K-9 for the US Marshall, and it’s clear she’s looking forward to work with Hooch and Scott.
