According to Soap Opera Digest, "Dancing With The Stars" Season 31 will include two actors who are very familiar with the soap opera world.

Meanwhile, former soap star turned comedian and game show host Wayne Brady will also attempt to win the coveted Mirror Ball Trophy. Brady previously played the role of Reese on "The Bold and the Beautiful," but is best known for his work on the comedy series "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" and other projects like "How I Met Your Mother" and "The Real Husbands of Hollywood." He also hosts the game show "Let's Make A Deal" (via IMDb). Brady also has some experience with reality competition shows as he won "The Masked Singer" during Season 2 of the fan-favorite show (via Gold Derby). While we know that Brady can sing, can he be as talented with his dancing skills?

Soap fans will obviously be rooting for Donovan and Brady as they look to make their mark during Season 31 of "DWTS."
