Fire Country, the hit CBS drama series, has introduced many guest stars in its three-season run.

In the 18th episode of Fire Country Season 1, titled Off the Rails, Kane played Robin. a train-hopper who was ready to help people during a bus-train collision.

The gripping drama, created by Max Thieriot, Joan Rater, and Tony Phelan, stars Thieriot as Bode Donovan.

As mentioned, the cameo appearance marked Kane Brown’s acting debut.

Robin, a train-hopper, meets Max Donovan when the firefighters appear at the scene after a train collides with a bus full of kids going to the prom. Donovan asks Robin if there were passengers aboard the train, and Robin replies it was just him and the cargo.

Unfortunately, the bus is in flames and the kids are severely injured. As the firefighters start to extinguish the blaze and help the victims out of the bus, Robin volunteers to help with the victims.

At first, Brown’s Robin appears to be a good Samaritan who wants to help people. However, it is gradually revealed that nothing is as it seems.

Robin, it turns out, is working for the area's drug cartel. At the end of the episode, as the police arrive, and Robin hands Bode a bag full of cash and leaves. This puts Bode in a vulnerable spot because he is already a convicted criminal.

Fans were happy with Kane Brown’s appearance on the hit CBS show. In 2023, while talking to Entertainment Tonight, Kane revealed how excited he was to be a part of Fire Country. He said:

"It's really cool. I get, like, a superhero moment."

In the same interview, showrunner and star Max Theiriot shared if we would see Brown’s Robin again. He told:

"We only get a portion of his back story, which, hopefully we can continue telling at some point down the road. Which is obviously something we do a lot in this show. Writers try and peel back the layers on these characters. And I'm a big sucker for card turns and reveals later, so we get just enough to get an idea of who this person is."
