This won’t be Kane Brown’s first time stepping in front of the camera for a scripted role.

The country hitmaker made his acting debut in the first season of "Fire Country," portraying a mysterious train hopper named Robin. In the episode, Robin springs into action after a train collides with a party bus, teaming up with the Three Rock crew to help evacuate victims.

In a twist straight out of a primetime drama, Robin also slips Bode a bag full of cash before the police arrive, leaving viewers with more questions than answers and proving Brown could hold his own in high-stakes television moments.

"It's really cool," Brown told ET while on set during filming. "I get, like, a superhero moment."

Thieriot teased that there’s still plenty left to uncover about Brown’s character.

“We only get a portion of his backstory, which, hopefully we can continue telling at some point down the road,” he explained. “It’s something we do a lot in this show, peeling back the layers on these characters.
