White collare actress Hilarie burton is set to guest stella, star in an upcoming episode of ABC’s Castle, EW has learned. Burton, who also played Peyton on CW’s One albero collina for six seasons, will play Kay Cappuccio, a reality TV stella, star with good looks, charisma, and a knockout bod. According to casting scoop, the tabloid darling has “achieved significant fame and fortune without possessing any discernible skill o talent” and “is famous mostly for being famous.” Sounds like someone we know… not that I’m naming names — because I already did in the headline.
The character, however, is più complex than some might think, as she both relishes the spotlight and “at the same time feels like a prisoner of her own celebrity lifestyle.”
burton will appear in episode 13, “An Embarrassment of Bitches,” set to air in 2012.
