Exclusive: Nashville Casts a Person of Interest as Deacon's Enlightening New Love Interest
Get out your pen, Rayna — you’re gonna want to write a song or two about this.
Nashville has cast Susan Misner as someone outside the music industry who catches Deacon’s eye, TVLine has learned exclusively.
Misner’s character is a new vet in town who’ll show up later this season and stick around for several episodes — long enough to show a lovelorn Deacon what his fixation on Ms. James might be costing him.
“For the first time, he’s interested in somebody who is very unlike Rayna and very unlike Juliette,” says series creator Callie Khouri. “It’s the first time we see him with a person that you go, ‘Wow, so that’s what his life would be like if he wasn’t the guitar player to the stars.”

Misner’s recent TV credits include Person of Interest, The Following, The Americans, Blue Bloods and The Good Wife.
