Rissa, I tried that link and it it is not valid anymore, but I have also heard that she has been signed on for THREE episodes on Boston Public. I loved that show at first, but got turned off with the whole hook lady storyline. I just thought that was stupid. I'll watch again just to see Tamyra, though.

This was posted at RealityTVWorld:

'American Idol' finalist Tamyra Gray four-episode 'Boston Public' arc to debut on February 17th

'American Idol' finalist Tamyra Gray will begin shooting a four-episode arc on the FOX series BOSTON PUBLIC (Mondays, 8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on Friday, December 20th.

Tamyra will be playing 'Aisha,' a shy girl with an amazing, powerful voice, who is discovered by Marylin Sudor (Sharon Leal). With Marylin's mentoring, Aisha wins the lead in the school musical. But with her newfound popularity, her life becomes complicated when her controlling boyfriend becomes jealous. Throughout her four-episode arc, beginning on Monday, February. 17th, Aisha will find not only her voice in music, but also her voice in life.

"We're thrilled to have Tamyra join the cast for four episodes later this season," said executive producer of the series, Jason Katims. "She gave a very impressive audition and while it's possible her character will sing, we are most interested in helping to launch her as a dramatic actress."

Gray is 23 years old and from Atlanta, Georgia. She is represented by 19 Entertainment's Simon Fuller and CAA.

BOSTON PUBLIC is produced by David E. Kelley Productions in association with 20th Century Fox Television. David E. Kelley is creator/executive consultant; Jason Katims and Jonathan Pontell are executive producers.

I hope she does really well and it leads to more work, if that is the direction she wants to go.

I think she is lovely and will definitely make a point of watching her in this. Thanks for posting the article. I was wondering about it because I hadn't heard anything in awhile.

I think the Boston Public episodes with Tamyra start in 1 or 2 weeks for anyone who is interested. She was shown in the previews after tonight's show.

Does anyone watch Boston Public? I didn't see it last week, but I'll try to catch Tamyra on it tonight?

It wasn't on last week b/c of Joe Millionaire. The previews say she is on tonight. It looks like it will be very good. Don't forget to watch!

After watching and hearing her tonight I am still amazed that she didn't end up in the final two. I also am not seeing anyone yet that seems to be able to match her or Kelly in this year's AI crop.

I love hearing Tamyra sing! She didn't have a huge part tonight, but it looks like there will be more of her next week, with a jealous boyfriend who either does hit oer or is sure on the verge of it.

I'm also amazed she didn't make it further on AI, but I think she'll have more options for her career this way instead of being locked into the "pop star" mold.

Awesome voice!

Things have a way of working out. I don't watch this show, but from the previews, she's a beautiful woman, with a beautiful voice, she can go very very far.

She sang the title song from Luther Vandross' new album on Boston Public tonight. This girl can sing!!! Next week she will be on with Method Man. She's really doing a good job! They've obviously extended it from the original three episodes. She had a very meaty role, too.

I thought Tamyra was AWESOME on Boston Public tonight. She can definitely sing and I think she did a good job with the acting, as well. I hope she stays around. I like her character. :)

The girl has skills. She did a wonderful job on that song. I like how they wrote it into the story. She showed off her voice and acting skills last night. Good for her.
