ONTD's least favorite Glee cast member has got a cheesy new role; he's starring in Taco Bell's new commercial for the limited time only Nacho Fries.

Darren plays Zack Collins, a singer discovered when he sings a song about his true love: Taco Bell's Nacho Fries. The ad is styled like a movie trailer for a fake film called "Chasing Gold":

So fried up about my new project, which is a savory reminder that we gotta cherish the things we love while we can. I know it’s cheesy- but it’s true. @tacobell #NachoFries #ChasingGold #TacoBellPartner pic.twitter.com/DhnzTwRImG

There have been three other ads in this campaign for the limited time only Nacho Fries, two starring Josh Duhamel and one starring James Marsden. Taco Bell is going to be playing the ad in movie theatres, there will be appearance at the MTV Movie Awards, and the full song about Nacho Fries will be played on iHeart Radio.

I may be alone in this, but I actually enjoyed the commercial. (To be fair, I have a bit of a soft spot for Darren. Boo! Hiss!).

Get that ad money, Darren!
