Washington (ANI): Aspiring rapper Kevin Federline will soon make a guest appearance in 'One Tree Hill', a teenage drama on the CW network in the US. A member of the production team has revealed that Federline will play Jason, "a cocky, enigmatic frontman" of a legendary rock band in the show's fictional setting called 'No Means Yes'. "Kevin came in and (auditioned) and he did a great job," People magazine quoted Mark Schwahn, the creator of One Tree Hill, as saying. "He really seemed like a sweet guy and I just felt that he would be great in that," he added.

Schwahn believes that Federline's "really high public persona right now" makes his selection for role a good choice. "I have to honestly say he was a good fit for the character. I don't know anything about the kid but he seemed very sweet and very sincere about working hard and embracing the opportunity. It's just about being good in the role," says Schwahn.

Last year, Federline had starred as a guest on an episode of 'CSI: Crime Scene Investigation', in which he played a young thug named Cole Tritt. According to reports, Federline's ex-flame Shar Jackson, with whom he has two children, is also doing a guest appearance in an episode of CW show 'Everybody Hates Chris'. She will play a young mother on the show.
