Raini Rodriguez's New Role Confirmed: 'Austin & Ally' Director!

You guys — Raini Rodriguez is stepping over Dez’s toes and heading behind the camera for Austin & Ally!

“I’ll be directing in a couple weeks,” the 21-year-old actress confirmed on Hallmark Channel’s Home and Family earlier this week.

Raini added, “I’m very, very excited. He [brother Rico] was a big supporter and it’s been something we’ve both wanted to do; to go behind the camera and direct and write and produce. The opportunity came up and I was really excited to do it.”

Congrats, Raini!
