Hayes' representative has refuted a recent report that the actor would likely be competing as a Dancing with the Stars' sixth-season celebrity participant, Entertainment Tonight reported Friday.

A friend of the 37-year-old previously told In Touch Weekly that Hayes had been approached to appear as a Dancing with the Stars' sixth-season celebrity participant.

"He's probably going to do it," the friend told In Touch.  "Sean can bust a move with the best of them."

Hayes received a 2000 Emmy award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series thanks to his Jack McFarland character on Will & Grace, which ran on NBC from Fall 1998 to Spring 2006.  Hayes most recently co-starred in The Bucket List with Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman. 

Dancing with the Stars 6 will debut with a 90-minute performance episode broadcast on Monday, March 17 in its regular Mondays at 8PM ET/PT time period.  ABC will then air Dancing with the Stars' first sixth-season results show broadcast on March 25 in its regular Tuesdays at 9PM ET/PT time slot.

Dancing with the Stars' sixth-season cast will be revealed during ABC's live two-hour finale broadcast of Dance War: Bruno vs. Carrie Ann on Monday, February 18 at 8PM ET/PT.
