John Stamos has signed on as a recurring guest star in season three of USA’s summer series 'Necessary Roughness' opposite Callie Thorne, Mehcad Brooks, Scott Cohen and Marc Blucas.

Produced by Sony Pictures Television, the series is shot in Atlanta and will film 10 episodes for season three, set to premiere Summer 2013

Stamos will play Connor McClane, the founder of V3, a sports and entertainment management company that has expanded into a global empire.  This self-made man represents the superstars of today and the up-and-coming stars of tomorrow in every field:  sports, entertainment, fashion and music.  Connor has an ability to recognize talent and nurture greatness.  In the wake of Dr. Dani’s (Thorne) success with TK (Brooks) and the New York Hawks, Connor will do whatever it takes to get Dani into the V3 family.  

Stamos stars in the NBC fall pilot “I am Victor” and  is a recurring guest star on the network series “The New Normal.” 

Stamos has had tremendous success on Broadway having performed opposite James Earl Jones in “The Best Man.”  He has also appeared in the Tony® Award-winning musicals “Hairspray,” “Bye Bye Birdie,” “Nine” and “Cabaret.” 

Currently in development with Twentieth Century Fox, Stamos will produce with Neil Meron & Craig Zadan a feature musical set to the music of the Beach Boys.
