Forget A.C. Slater. As much as we enjoy the brand-new Saved by the Bell reboot, Mario Lopez will handle a much more renowned—or should we state tasty?—function. One tip: It’s finger lickin’ excellent.
That’s right, Mario’s next gig is playing Colonel Sanders in Lifetime’s KFC mini-movie, fittingly entitled A Recipe for Seduction. Dinner will be served (ahem, we imply, the movie will premiere) on Sunday, Dec. 13, at 12 p.m. on Lifetime. However, fans got an early peek when the sultry trailer dropped on Monday, Dec. 7.
Mario’s character Harland Sanders is an attractive chef, who is starved after by a young heiress. In the remarkable soap, the 47-year-old silver fox is employed at her household’s estate and comes equipped with his secret fried chicken dish (certainly). The just thing stopping this goateed poultry pro from being with his one real love? The woman’s sly mom is pressing her to accept the proposition of another suitor.
