NBC’s “The Hunting Party” has found quite an eclectic mix of guest stars for season 2, including a “Glee” kid, a ventriloquist, one of the guys who broke Carrie Bradshaw’s heart and a “Coyote Ugly” alum.
Star Melissa Roxburgh is joined in Season 2 of “The Hunting Party” by the likes of Piper Perabo (“Butterfly,” “Coyote Ugly”), Kevin McHale (“Glee,” “American Horror Stories”), John Corbett (“Sex and the City,” “My Big Fat Greek Wedding”) and ventriloquist comedian Jeff Dunham. These are their roles:
In episode 209 (April 9), Perabo plays Colette Akins, “a woman who grew up working for her father’s mortuary company.

Now that she has escaped The Pit, she craves the comfort of a certain voice… and will do whatever it takes to find it.”
McHale will appear in episode 211 (April 23) playing Dylan Myles, “a struggling ventriloquist who never learned how to deal with hecklers – except to kill them. Now back from The Pit and armed with his beloved Figures, Dylan is out for revenge and to leave a lasting mark on the comedy world.” And in that same episode, Dunham plays his victim, Jeff Dudley, “a star in the world of ventriloquism, and the unfortunate target of failed ventriloquist and escaped Pit prisoner, Dylan Myles.”
