Reggaeton star Daddy Yankee Makes Acting Debut

Daddy Yankee  is set to make his U.S. acting debut on the second episode of CBS's new drama series "Cane," which stars Puerto Rican actor Jimmy Smits.

The series, which debuts on September 28, relates the story of a family dedicated to the production of sugarcane. In the second episode, which will air tomorrow (October 2), Yankee makes a cameo appearance, visiting a nightclub owned by one of the show's main characters.

In the episode, Yankee performs "Who's Your Daddy," his second single from his latest album, which also serves as Boston Red Sox's David "Papi" Ortiz's background anthem during each game. Aside from performing, Yankee will also deliver a few lines, and be a reference point for future episodes.

"It's been an honor to take part in a show alongside fellow 'boricua,' Jimmy Smits, who has helped make a name for our culture," said Daddy Yankee of his scene. "Whenever they want to have me back, I'll return immediately. It's a show with high production value."

Daddy Yankee is currently on tour, but over the next few weeks plans to take a break to shoot the video for "Who's Your Daddy," produced by Will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas.

Aside from the immense buzz his shows have garnered throughout the nation, the singer is also extremely pleased at having been nominated for two Latin Grammy's for Best Urban Song for "Impacto" and Best Urban Album for El Cartel: The Big Boss.

MTV Latino also recognized his success with three nominations.
