Robert Irwin has a new television role!

On Tuesday, the wildlife photographer announced he will voice a character on the popular animated kids series, Bluey.

"I am very excited to be voicing a character in a new episode of Bluey," the 16-year-old captioned his post on Instagram. "'Alfie' will be featuring on the show on November 4! So happy to be part of this awesome Aussie production, hope you can watch."

Bluey is a popular Australian animated series among young children, winning an award at the International Emmy Awards earlier this year.

"Did you know that @RobertIrwin will be the voice of Alfie on an episode of Bluey, November 4th?" she wrote.
