Salma Hayek settles into recurring TV Role

Salma Hayek has landed a juicy role on another Thursday-night series. Hayek has been confirmed for a recurring role on NBC’s Emmy-winning 30 Rock, (on set above with baby Valentina and Alec Baldwin) playing no less than former GE exec Jack Donaghy’s new love interest. Hayek says in a statement:

“I have been a fan of [30 Rock exec producer] Tina [Fey]’s talent, both as an actress and a writer, since working with her years ago on SNL.” ” I am so excited to be part of such an intelligent, funny show, as well as working with the brilliant Alec Baldwin and the rest of the cast of 30 Rock.”

Hayek produces and once guest-starred on ABC’s Ugly Betty.
