Singer/actress Jordin Sparks has signed on to appear in the TV adaptation of Time After Time. The new TV show will be based on writer Karl Alexander's 1979 sci-fi novel and its subsequent movie adaptation, which imagined 19th century British author H.G. Wells had actually built a time machine and travelled to the future. Jordin will play New York stylist Jesse Givens, the roommate of museum curator Jane Walker, who catches Wells' attention upon his arrival in New York. Harry Potter & The Half-Blood Prince star Freddie Stroma will star as Wells, while Genesis Rodriguez will portray Walker. Former American Idol champion Sparks has previously tested her acting skills with appearances on TV shows including CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and Zoe Ever After. She has also featured in the films The Inevitable Defeat of Mister & Pete and Sparkle.
