Toy will become the first polio survivor to take on the role of FDR in the musical.
The actor and the 32nd president of the United States both contracted polio that resulted in paralysis.
He went on to praise NBC and the producers ofAnnie Live!for casting the role authentically.
The live televised event is set to air on NBC on Thursday, December 2.
Its not tomorrow, but hey, its not too many days away.
Update November 24:Toy will no longer be playing husband to the original Annie herself.
I wish everyone involved with the production great success.
Break a leg everyone.
