'Rocky Horror' Casts 'Masters of Sex' Fave Annaleigh Ashford

Annaleigh Ashford is set to master another sexy character (if you’ll pardon the pun).

The Masters of Sex star has been cast as Columbia, the castle’s feisty live-in groupie, in Fox’s upcoming remake of The Rocky Horror Picture Show.


Ashford won a Tony award last year for her role in You Can’t Take It With You.

She joins previously announced cast members Laverne Cox (Orange is the New Black) as Dr. Frank-N-Furter, Victoria Justice (Victorious) as Janet, Ryan McCartan (Heathers: the Musical) as Brad, Adam Lambert (Glee, American Idol) as Eddie, Reeve Carney (Penny Dreadful) as Riff Raff, Staz Nair (Game of Thrones) as Rocky; and Tim Curry (the original Rocky Horror) as the Criminologist Narrator.
