Riley Green To Make His Acting Debut In Marshals
Riley Green is stepping off the stage and onto the screen. The country singer is set to make his acting debut in Marshals, which premiered on Sunday, March 1st. He will play Garrett, a former Navy SEAL.
Green does not have prior acting experience, but his connection with lead actor and fellow country singer Luke Grimes helped him land the role. He told Entertainment Weekly that the new gig pushed him out of his comfort zone. He shared:
“When you walk onstage, everybody’s there to see me, it’s my show, everybody works for me… When you go on a set, nobody works for me, and you really get that feeling of ‘I’m the new kid… So it was cool to feel like that, it was a challenge, and to feel those nerves. Fortunately I was around some really great people.”
It is unknown exactly when Green’s character will appear on screen or how many episodes he will be featured in. Stay tuned for updates.
