Green Day lead singer/song writer Billie Joe Armstrong is the latest rocker to catch the acting bug. Word is, Armstrong will be guest-starring on the season premiere of the Showtime television series Nurse Jackie, which stars Emmy-winner Edie Falco. Billie Joe last acted in the Grammy-winning Broadway stage play based on the hit Green Day album American Idiot. No word on the character Armstrong will be playing or if the character will be recurring or not.

Nurse Jackie executive producer Richie Jackson tweeted a photo of Armstrong with Nurse Jackie herself,  actress Edie Falco, writing, “Edie and our new cast member @BJAOfficial! Wait til you see the season premiere!”
