Rosie Perez is joining "Dancing with the Stars" season 33 as a guest judge for the show's "Soul Train Night" episode, airing Oct. 7 on ABC.

The actress, who rose to fame with roles in "Do the Right Thing" and "White Men Can't Jump," first saw her career take off in the 1980s as a dancer on "Soul Train," a musical variety show highlighting R&B, soul and hip-hop artists that aired in syndication from 1971 to 2006.

Since then, she has earned Oscar and Golden Globe nominations for films like "Fearless" and garnered Emmy nominations for roles on shows like "In Living Color" and "The Flight Attendant."
