Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas' son Dylan isn't the only one of their kids to be stepping into the spotlight.

The couple, who have been married since 2000 and share kids Dylan, 24, and Carys Zeta, 21, were recently supportive of the former, who just launched his new podcast, Young American, a weekly political series on SiriusXM aimed for Gen Z.

And though his little sister had yet to hint at what her own professional pursuits might be, she just revealed what she's been up to.

Carys took to Instagram this week and shared a glimpse and behind-the-scenes look at her acting debut, a role in an upcoming short film written and directed by Hanna Gray Organschi titled F*ck That Guy, also starring You actress Victoria Pedretti as well as Dagmara Dominczyk and fellow celebrity scion Micheál Neeson, Liam Neeson's son with the late Natasha Richardson.

Though it's unclear which character Carys plays, per IMDb, the short is set in 1992 Connecticut, and the plot reads: "Desperate to keep the attention of her intoxicating older best friend, Frankie sets out to prove that sex is no big deal."

"Some moments from a project I am so proud to be a part of!! :))" the budding actress wrote in her caption, announcing: "F*CK THAT GUY is heading to L.A for @prooffilmfestival by @am_cinematheque to screen Oct. 18-20!!"

"Honored to have worked with @hannaorganschi @then0t0ri0usvip Micheal Nesson and Dagmara Dominczyk," she added, along with a comprehensive list of credits, giving shout-outs to everyone from the producers, to gaffers, intimacy coordinators and set decorators, among others.
