Jelly Roll is making his acting debut with an important role alongside Max Thieriot and Billy Burke on CBS’ hit series Fire Country.
In Us Weekly‘s exclusive first look at the April 11 episode, Jelly Roll, 40, makes an appearance as Noah, a healthcare worker and former convict who’s in the process of turning his life around. The official synopsis teases a ski resort accident after a chair lift malfunction while Burke’s Vince struggles in his personal life with his ailing father.
Jelly Roll’s Noah, meanwhile, lost his mother while in prison and wasn’t able to say goodbye in person, according to the character description, which adds, “Now, he works with patients like his mom, and their loved ones who struggle with saying their own goodbyes.”
The stills from the highly-anticipated episode show Jelly Roll with Thieriot, Burke and Walter (Jeff Fahey). The role is the musician’s first scripted project after he previously made a cameo as himself on Paramount+’s Tulsa King.
Most Memorable ‘Fire Country’ Guest Stars Over the Years: From Kane Brown to Jared Padalecki
Fire Country, which premiered in 2022, follows Bode (Thieriot) as he gets a chance to shorten his prison sentence by volunteering for the California Conservation Camp Program. Bode gets assigned to his hometown where he reconnects with his family and former friends as he continues to make attempts to redeem himself.
Three seasons in and Fire Country has found unique ways to incorporate familiar faces. During the first season, Kane Brown made an appearance as a train hopper named Robin. After a train collided with a party bus, Robin helped the Three Rock crew evacuate the victims and handed Bode a bag full of cash before the police arrived.
There was also Morena Baccarin, who went from a one-episode arc as Sharon’s (Diane Farr) step-sister to scoring her own spinoff titled Sheriff Country. Jared Padalecki is another star-studded cast member who played a SoCal firefighter captain Camden (and who could also get his own spinoff, according to reports).
