Shonda Rhimes To Make Acting Debut On The Mindy Project

Shonda Rhimes, the brains behind ABC’s Scandal, Grey’s Anatomy and How to Get Away with Murder is known for her killer writing and epic story lines. The producer might be brilliant at what she does, but when it comes to being in front of the camera, the star is usually not about that life … Until now.

The 44-year-old revealed on Twitter on Thursday that she will be starring on an episode of FOX’s The Mindy Project! (Insert tire squeal here)

“Shh. Nobody tell @mindykaling that I can neither act nor appear lifelike on camera. NO ONE STOP THIS FROM HAPPENING! #dreamsDOcometrue,” Rhimes tweeted about her acting debut.

In response to Shonda’s revelation, Minday tweeted:

“Welcome to the world of #TheMindyProject @shondarhimes! We are so excited to have you.”

According to TVLine the Scandal creator, who is a huge fan of Kaling’s, will play herself on the show. Shonda is set to begin shooting early next month and the episode will air sometime this fall.
