The El Rey Network creator and executive producer of its TV series "From Dusk Till Dawn" told reporters Thursday the show was a nice fit, so a character was written specifically for the 22-year-old.
Rodriguez said, "I've always been a big fan of hers and she's on tour a lot, so when she'd come to set to visit I threw out that we'd love to put her in somewhere."
And he wanted to make sure it was an episode he directed because "she has a great personality" and "great acting chops."
"She was fantastic. She's really got a great screen presence. If there's time for her to come back in the series she can," Rodriguez said at a TV critics gathering.
Queen, first she was offered the Smurfette role without auditioning and now this.
