Singer-songwriter Jelly Roll will make his acting debut in the CBS series Fire Country, with his guest-starring episode set to air April 11.
A new promo video for the episode features Jelly Roll and series star/creator Max Thieriot, with Jelly sharing: “From the stage to the fire line, it’s time to see if I can keep up,” later turning to Thieriot, and saying with a chuckle, “Man, this is tougher than the Grammys.”
Jelly Roll previously made a cameo as himself in Taylor Sheridan's Tulsa King; but the upcoming appearance on Fire Country marks his first-ever fictional role onscreen, where he will portray a hospital orderly named Noah.
Jelly Roll also isn’t the first country artist to portray a role on Fire Country; Kane Brown also made his acting debut on the program in 2023, playing a character named Robin, a train hopper who ends up aiding victims who were injured in a crash.
