Billy Ray Cyrus Talks About 'Hannah Montana: The Movie'

Singer turned actor Billy Ray Cyrus stopped by the studio to talk about starring alongside his daughter Miley Cyrus in the upcoming film Hannah Montana: The Movie. Their co-star Lucas Till, who plays Miley's love interest Travis Brody, also stopped by earlier this week to talk about the film.

Directed by Peter Chelsom, the movie stars Miley Cyrus as Miley Stewart. Like the show upon which this is based, Stewart finds herself struggling to balance school and her friends with her secret pop-star life. Her father, played by Miley's real-life dad Billy Ray Cyrus, decides to give her a dose of reality by taking her home to Crowley Corners, Tennessee.

Cyrus is a Grammy Award-winning singer and is best remembered for his 1990s single "Achy Breaky Heart". Soon afterward, he made the transition to acting and in 2001 he starred in the TV show Doc.

Hannah Montana: The Movie opens today in theaters.
