Marc Anthony to guest star in Jada's TV series
Anthony plays Detective Nick Renata, a New York City cop who is investigating a kidnapping in Richmond, where Hawthorne is set
Even though he won't be singing, Marc Anthony will be making sweet music with Jada Pinkett Smith when he appears on her TV series Hawthorne.
Anthony said his character falls for Smith's Christina, a hard-working chief nurse in a hospital.
"Sparks fly. I think he has a crush on Christina and ... you're gonna have to watch it!" he said in a phone interview on Monday.
Anthony plays Detective Nick Renata, a New York City cop who is investigating a kidnapping in Richmond, where Hawthorne is set.
"I realised right there that Christina needed a man," he said, laughing.
Anthony has acted quite a bit before, even starring with wife Jennifer Lopez in the 2006 film El cantante, in which he portrayed legendary salsa singer Hector Lavoe.
Though he's in the middle of a tour for his Spanish album Iconos, Anthony said he "absolutely" wants to keep on acting. Working with Pinkett Smith, he realised how fulfilling it is for him.
"I feel more capable than ever," he said.
