According to EW.com Steve Buscemi is going to return to 30 Rock!

Steve Buscemi is back on the case: The Boardwalk Empire actor will appear in the Feb. 16 episode of 30 Rock, series creator/star Tina Fey tells EW. Buscemi — who has guest-starred on the NBC comedy multiple times and directed an episode — will not only reprise his role as private detective Len Wosniak, he’ll also helm this installment. Notes Fey of the plot: “After Jack (Alec Baldwin) gets mugged, he tries to reach out to his connections on the police force, [saying,] ‘I know Commissioner Ray Kelly. We have a column in IRISH ARGUMENTS WEEKLY, the only all-caps magazine. But he hasn’t gotten back to me on this.’ Jack wants Len to help him form a private police force where the salary starts at $5 million, so the police have the same interest in protecting the rich.”

Other guest stars on 30 Rock‘s sixth season include Mary Steenburgen, Emma Stone, Andy Samberg, Will Arnett, and Kristen Schaal.

James Marsden is making his way through the Emmy-nominated comedy series. The actor, who guest starred last season on Emmy winner Modern Family, has booked a multiepisode role on NBC’s 30 Rock, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.

Details on Marsden’s role are being kept under wraps but he’ll stick around for six episodes of the Tina Fey comedy. The X-Men and Hairspray star most recently appeared in Screen Gems’ Straw Dogs and has a number of film projects in the pipeline, including Robot and Frank and As Cool as I Am.

Up All Night star Will Arnett is also set to reprise his role as gay shark Devon Banks when 30 Rock’s sixth season returns next year.

The series has a long roster of notable guest stars, including Tom Hanks, Conan O’Brien, Matt Damon, Elizabeth Banks, Michael Sheen, James Franco and Will Ferrell.
