The Amazing Race season four winner Reichen Lehmkuhl will be featured on Dante's Cove, a supernatural gay-friendly soap opera broadcast on here! Network.  The series is currently filming its third season in Hawaii and is expected to air this coming October.

The 33-year-old openly gay native of Ohio, who previously had a publicized relationship with former ‘N Sync singer Lance Bass, will play the role of Trevor, a business-school graduate who arrives in the fictitious Dante's Cove looking to find himself but instead becomes involved with the men swarming all over the island.  He is also expected to forge a close relationship with Grace (Tracy Scoggins), a witch who draws Trevor into a "magical world and a dark battle."

Although known for his exposure on Amazing Race, this isn't Lehmkuhl's first dip in acting.  After his stint on The Amazing Race, he has appeared on various talk shows and sitcoms.  He has also been part of soap operas like Days of Our Lives and The Young and the Restless.

"We couldn't be more thrilled to have a talent like Reichen on board," Meredith Kadlec, vice president of original programming for here!, said in a statement.  "He is the perfect triple threat for Dante's Cove - he has a loyal fan base, he is proudly out, and he is simply gorgeous.”

Also featured in the third season of the soap are Jill Bennett, Jensen Atwood and Jenny Shimizu.

Dante's Cove follows a cast consisting of mostly gay and lesbian characters that all reside at the Hotel Dante in island town of Dante's Cove.  Supernatural themes interlace with the drama as a mysterious and supernatural force from the basement of the hotel creates the mayhem in the beachside community.  The cast includes William Gregory Lee, Tracy Scoggins, Gregory Michael, and Charlie David among others.
