Fans of Disney’s Channel’s Jessie will get a chance to see the star of their show, Debby Ryan, in a rather different role, as the 19 -year old actress/singer  heads to A&E’s The Glades later this month for a guest star appearance. On the July 22nd episode of the Florida crime/drama’s third season, Ryan will appear in a role “playing an employee at a luxury medical spa where one of the co-owners turns up dead”, according to TVline.

While Ryan has been building up her Disney cred with Jessie, and before that with The Suite Life on Deck and several Disney movies, you might have also caught her in prime time,  guest starring  last year in an episode of Private Practice, a role that show creator Shonda Rhimes (who also created Grey’s Anatomy) specifically targeted Ryan for. If you don’t recall or don’t watch the ABC medical drama, it was of  the 2-hour variety where Ryan portrayed a recovering cocaine addict.

 No worries for the youngsters though, Jessie was given a go for a second season earlier this year by Disney, so there’s more to come on that end, including a tv movie based on the show.
