Oct 20, 2012 11:22




ABC's Nashville is adding to its musical pedigree.

The freshman drama has booked Wyclef Jean for a multiple-episode role, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.

Nashville stars Connie Britton as Rayna Jaymes, an aging country music superstar who's asked to team with a young starlet in Juliette Barnes (Heroes' Hayden Panettiere) when her record fails to catch on as the new label owners had hoped.

The rapper, singer, politician and record producer will stick closely to what he knows best and play the head of a music label.
