First look at Wyclef Jean in ABC’s Nashville<\/strong>Posted by Wilson Morales<\/p>\n

November 20, 2012<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here’s the first look at Wyclef Jean<\/strong>, who will appear in a recurring role as a record-label exec on ABC’s Nashville<\/strong>. The Grammy Award winning artist will appear in the Nov. 28 episode “Lovesick Blues,”<\/strong> where Marshall Evans continues to pressure Rayna and Juliette to collaborate at an event at the Ryman theater. Teddy is also forced to reveal the truth to Rayna when Peggy’s desperation hits its peak, and in an effort to move past her failed relationship to Avery, Scarlett finds herself closer to Gunnar.<\/p>\n

According to zaptoit.com<\/a>, it’s not the former Fugees member’s first attempt at acting — he has a handful of credits throughout the years, including several episodes of the medical drama “Third Watch”<\/strong> and a role in Beyonce<\/strong>‘s acting debut, the MTV movie “Carmen: A Hip Hopera.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

For those who haven’t watch the show, here’s the synopsis of the series<\/strong><\/p>\n

Music legend and entertainment icon Rayna Jaymes has been one of the industry\u2019s top female vocalists for two decades. After working tirelessly to elevate her game, Rayna suddenly discovers her passion for the business is not enough to compete with the new generation of talent lighting up the charts. She is reluctant to accept the emerging trend in the business and refuses to be steamrolled by her longtime label, which she helped build. When they give her an offer she can\u2019t refuse, Rayna is forced to accept the harsh reality that she\u2019ll have to start over and reinvent herself if she plans on being relevant.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Offstage things aren\u2019t much easier for Rayna, whose father, Lamar Wyatt, is Nashville\u2019s most powerful businessman. Their distant relationship is strained by years of resentment and powerful secrets that begin to boil over when Lamar and her sister, Tandy, encourage Rayna\u2019s husband, Teddy, to run for office. For Teddy Conrad, this might be his time to share the spotlight instead of being the man behind the woman. For years he\u2019s competed against Rayna\u2019s greatest love\u2026 her music. He\u2019s been haunted by her romantic entanglements, which he thought were buried in the past, but now his choice to align himself with her father could send Rayna running back into the arms of her soul mate.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Juliette Barnes is sexy, sassy, and she\u2019s got trouble written all over her. She\u2019s the hottest act in the business and she\u2019s not about to let anyone stand in the way of her success, much less Rayna Jaymes. On her way to the top, an even bigger set of circumstances will cast a shadow on her girl-next-door image. But Juliette is calculating, has an insatiable appetite for fame, and will do whatever it takes to leave her hard knocks past behind. Everyone in Nashville has a dream: Deacon Claybourne is the band leader whose unrequited love is constantly played out in the lyrics of familiar songs; Scarlett O\u2019Connor is the beautiful undiscovered songwriter; Avery Barkley is a young misguided musician; and Gunnar Scott is an up and comer on a collision course with Scarlett.<\/p>\n
