Russell Dickerson is headed to TV screens soon, when he makes a cameo on an upcoming episode of ABC’s 9-1-1: Nashville.
The episode featuring Dickerson, titled “In Cold Blood,” is set to air Thursday, Nov. 5, and will have Dickerson sharing scenes with another country singer, cast member LeAnn Rimes. The singer-actress portrays Dixie Bennings, a former backup singer and old friend of Capt. Don Hart.
“This was a whole new experience for me and it was incredible!” Dickerson tells Billboard. “The cast and crew made me feel right at home on set, especially LeAnn. She was so welcoming from the start and offered some great advice along the way. I feel like there’s some acting in my future!”
Though details are limited regarding Dickerson’s role, according to a logline for the episode, The Pharaoh will target a flight that Dixie is traveling on. Meanwhile, a new dispatch manager arrives to lead Cammie and her team, while Rogue spills about his tragic past to Don and Ryan. Dixie will ultimately spill a secret of her own during a performance.
Russell and Rimes aren’t the only country artists who have made appearances on 9-1-1: Nashville. Kane Brown previously starred as himself in the series’ premiere episode, while MacKenzie Porter has had a recurring role as an ER doctor.
Dickerson has previously made a guest appearance during the 2023 season three finale of the series Call Me Kat. To date, Dickerson has earned five No. 1 hits on Billboard‘s Country Airplay chart, among them “Happen to Me” and “Yours.” He also earned a top 40 hit on the Pop Airplay chart with “I Remember,” a collaboration with Cheat Codes. Last year, he released the album Famous Back Home, featuring songs including “Worth Your Wild.”
