Paris Jackson's Acting Debut Is Set for an Upcoming 'Star' Episode

Paris Jackson is following in the footsteps of her father, Michael Jackson, as an entertainer.

The budding performer is set to make her acting debut in an upcoming episode of the Fox musical drama series "Star," THR reports. Jackson landed the role after charming Lee Daniels, one of the show's executive producers, directors, and writers, according to Rolling Stone. Her guest starring gig is for one episode.

Although she plays multiple instruments and sings, it doesn't sound like Jackson will be making any music herself on "Star." Instead, she'll play Rachel Wells, a social media maven. As the intimidating character, Jackson will push two of the members of the girl group out of their comfort zones during a publicity shoot.

Jackson is in good company in taking on a "Star" role; Missy Elliott is also set to guest star in an upcoming episode, and the season will include Gladys Knight, Lenny Kravitz, Tyrese Gibson, and more as well.

"Star" airs Wednesdays on Fox at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
