Watch Luke Combs Make His Voice Acting Debut in Disney Series ‘Big City Greens’: ‘This Will Be Way Cooler in My Kids’ Eyes Than Anything Else I’ve Done’

Country music star Luke Combs is making a foray into voice acting with his debut role in Disney's animated series, Big City Greens. The singer-songwriter will portray Rusty Twang, a country superstar, and even sings a new song, "Watch Out for the Greens." Combs, who has three young boys at home, explains that his decision to voice the character was influenced by their love for Disney.

He notes that the character's resemblance to his real-life persona made it feel familiar and comfortable. Combs, who has previously sung in studio booths, says that the experience felt very similar to this new venture. He doesn't rule out further voice acting opportunities in the future, but acknowledges that his decision may depend on the reactions of his young audience.

Combs' appearance in Big City Greens' season five premiere, "Daddy Ditty," will air on August 21. The premiere episode, along with the next four episodes, will premiere on Disney Channel at 8 p.m. EDT and Disney+ the following day. Season five will continue to release episodes throughout the year and beyond 2027. Combs, who just became the first solo country artist to headline London's Wembley Stadium, says that he's honored to play a role in the growth of country music globally.
