Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith's daughter Willow is building an acting career to rival her famous parents' - she's set make her TV debut later this month (Jul09).

Eight-year-old Willow - who has already appeared in her father's 2007 action film I Am Legend and voiced a character alongside her mother in hit animated film Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa - is set to guest star in a one-hour episode of Nickelodeon's True Jackson, VP.

The child star will play a younger version of actress KeKe Palmer's title character True Jackson, an executive of a popular fashion house.

And her action star dad Will insists the role was perfect for his little girl: "I get my style ideas from True Jackson, VP. If I had my own fashion company, I would call it Willow's Reign."

Willow will make her TV debut when the episode airs on 25 July (09).

She follows in the footsteps of her older brother Jaden who has also kicked off an acting career, making his film debut in The Pursuit of Happyness in 2006.

He returned to the big screen in 2008 with The Day the Earth Stood Still alongside Keanu Reeves and Jennifer Connelly.

He will take on the role of Dre in Kung Fu Kid which is due out next year.
