Could another “All My Children” actor be headed to “Dancing With The Stars?” It looks like it. JR Martinez will trade Brot’s flat foots for dancing shoes this season on “Dancing With The Stars.” The cast for the upcoming season was announced on Bachelor Pad tonight. Also dancing this season are Ricki Lake, Carson Kressley, Ron Artest, Kristin Cavallari, David Arquette, Chynna Phillips, Nancy Grace, Hope Solo, Rob Kardashian, Elisabetta Canalis and Chaz Bono.
JR follows AMC/Dancing alums Susan Lucci, Cameron Mathison and Aiden Turner as he tries for the mirror ball trophy.
The actor joined the show in 2008 when the Emmy winning show announced that they had cast a real life veteran for the role of Army war veteran Brot Monroe.
“We are honored and delighted to welcome JR Martinez to the cast of “All My Children.” JR represents the best of the human spirit. His commitment to help his fellow service men and women and their families has inspired us all. JR’s challenging journey and resilience will bring a uniquely authentic perspective to the role of Brot Monroe” said executive producer Julie Hanan Carruthers at the time of his hiring.

In story, the character Brot Monroe served in the U.S. Army in Iraq and was injured in combat. Since starting on the show, JR as Brot, has become a fan favorite, where in addition to sharing the story of veterans everyday onscreen, Brot has become one of Pine Valley’s finest and also an honorary Hubbard, helping Jesse deal with the Lucy baby reveal to wife Angie.
Last week, Brot officially joined the Hubbard Family when he became engaged to Jesse’s daughter, Natalia. Look for Brot on ‘All My Children” weekdays on ABC as the baby storyline comes to a head and also Monday nights beginning September 19th on ABC.
“All My Children’s” last network broadcast on ABC will be Friday, September 23rd.
