Megan Thee Stallion gets busy in the studio, and she’s also been building quite the Hollywood résumé on TV and film sets.
The Houston Hottie’s latest role comes as part of NBC’s The Fall & Rise of Reggie Dinkins. Megan plays Denise, a divorced mail carrier — because, as one fan put it, she always delivers — and she appears in episode five of season one.
A teaser arrived ahead of the episode’s premiere on Monday night (March 16), which finds Megan getting flirty with Daniel Radcliffe (Tobin), a decorated filmmaker directing a documentary on Tracy Morgan’s Reggie Dinkins character, who’s attempting to make a comeback to revive his football career.
“So you make movies, you ever work with Paul Giamatti? That dude does not miss,” Meg asked. The Harry Potter star (Tobin) calmly boasts some of his accolades in the business.
“I did meet Paul once on a red carpet at an award show put on by the Academy,” he replies matter-of-factly. “It was the Oscars, I have an Oscar.”
Written by Robert Carlock and Sam Means, episode 5 is titled “You May Hug Your Hero” and serves as the halfway point of the 10-episode season one.
Outside of Megan, Radcliffe and Tracy Morgan, the rest of the cast includes Erika Alexander, Jalyn Hall, Precious Way and Bobby Moynihan.
Thee Stallion’s last Hollywood role came in the 2024 Mean Girls reboot. She’s also set to make her Broadway debut later in March in Moulin Rouge! The Musical. The 31-year-old’s eight-week run in NYC will find her as the first female-identifying star to play Zidler.
On the music side, Megan Thee Stallion joined Juvenile for the “B.B.B.” remix, which hit the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 67 last week.
Watch the clip below. Look for the full episode to premiere on NBC at 8:30 p.m. ET and come to Peacock for streaming on Tuesday (March 17).
