Mr. Jill Goodacre - Following his Oscar-caliber roles in Copycat and Indepedence Day, NBC has announced that Harry Connick Jr. has officially signed on to play Debra Messing's love interest on Will & Grace this season. He's committed to at least 12 episodes or about half the season, beginning with the season premiere on September 26. Looks like a baby is not in the cards for W&G. Meanwhile, look for Kevin Bacon to appear in the show's second episode playing himself!
