Peppermint has added a sweet acting credit to her growing filmography, and EW has an exclusive first look at the upcoming gig.
The Broadway actress, LGBTQ activist, and "RuPaul’s Drag Race" season 9 runner-up has joined the cast of CBS’ returning dramedy "God Friended Me", portraying a transgender pastor in a two-episode arc beginning Sunday, Oct. 6.
Peppermint (real name Agnes Moore) boards the Brandon Micheal Hall-led program as Pastor Olivia, the leader of an LGBTQ-friendly congregation Ali (Javicia Leslie) joins after leaving her father’s (Joe Morton) Harlem Episcopal Church.
“This role is proof that we’ve come so far. A transgender pastor is not something you’d see being written or cast even five years ago,” Peppermint exclusively tells EW about the role. “This season, they are raising the bar both in front and behind the camera. You ain’t ready, y’all!”
