R&B singer Brandy has landed a rold on the CW series “90210.” According to tvline.com,
She’ll play Marissa Jackson-Lewis, a charismatic young politician running for congress in California against Teddy’s (Trevor Donovan) conservative uncle. “She’s a cross between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama,” notes a source close to the show. “She’s inspirational but with a drive to get the job done.” To that end, Marissa hires Silver (Jessica Stroup) to create a video campaign to reach the youth vote. Brandy is set to join Tristan Wilds and the rest of the cast in October.
