Avril Lavigne's acting career has taken another step forward after signing up for The Flock.

The singer joins Richard Gere for the action movie, who will play an FBI agent tracking down a missing girl for an investigation.

Lavigne said she has always wanted to act and, following a voice part in Over The Hedge, appears to be making inroads.

"I have one scene in it. It's with Claire Danes and Richard Gere, and Richard Gere was, like, really cool," she told MTV. "In between takes he was like totally giving me pointers.

"It was so crazy. I've known of him since I was so little. My parents thought that was so cool."
