Disney Channel’s Jessie fans are going to be able to see a different side of star Debby Ryan’s acting. She has been cast to guest star on ABC’s Private Practice.
Ryan will play Hailey, an 18-year-old who has a meaningful crossing with Amelia (Caterina Scorsone) in [spoiler] rehab. She’ll appear on the the series’ two-hour event on Nov. 18, as first reported by E!Online.
"It's such a honor to be chosen by [creator] Shonda Rhimes to play this role,” Ryan tells The Hollywood Reporter. “I believe in the story, I'm captivated by the writing, and I was honored to be able to bring a voice to this character.”
The role allows Ryan, 18, to show an edgy side than fans haven’t seen from her title role in Jessie and on her other Disney Channel show, Suite Life on Deck.
