This season on Glee, Jeff Goldblum and Brian Stokes Mitchell will play Hiram and LeRoy, the same-sex parents of Rachel Berry (Lea Michele).
The Tony Award-winning Broadway stalwart and Independence Day star will sing a duet in their first episode slated for Valentine's Day, and will return throughout the season.
In September, Michele told Digital Spy she'd been on show creator Ryan Murphy to create a storyline centered around what happens at home.
