Caitlyn Jenner to Appear on Transparent

 

Caitlyn Jenner will appear on the upcoming third season of the Amazon comedy series Transparent.  Showrunner Jill Soloway revealed the news at the 2016 GLAAD Media Awards in Los Angeles Sunday, according to multiple reports.

This will mark the Olympian and reality star's first scripted acting role in two years. In the '80s, she appeared on episodes of shows such as The Love Boat, Murder, She Wrote and The Fall Guy and played Officer Steve McLeish on CHiPs.

There has been some Transparent-I Am Cait crossover: Transparent star and co-producer Zackary Drucker appears on Jenner's series. Transparent streams on Amazon Video and focuses on a transgender woman, played by Jeffrey Tambor and her relationships with her family and friends, including new ones she has made from the LGBT community. The dramedy has won five Emmys, including an individual one for the actor. On Saturday, it received a GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Comedy Series.
