On Happy's Place, the “Fancy” singer plays Bobbie, who inherits her dad's tavern and discovers the co-owner is a 20-something named Isabella – a half-sister she never knew existed.
Rex plays Emmett, the tavern's strapping short-order cook.

He'd ballooned to as much as 245, carrying most of it in his belly, but appears to have lost "20 to 25 pounds," estimated life span expert Dr. Gabe Mirkin, who hasn't treated the actor.
