HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Bieber fever is about to invade CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.
The Canadian pop sensation will make his acting debut on the hit CBS show's season premiere, the network has revealed.
Bieber, 16, will play Jason McCann, a troubled teen who is faced with a terrible decision regarding his only brother-a decision that leads him into an explosive confrontation with the CSIs.
Even better, the show's producers say the episode "is the beginning of an emotional story that will conclude later in the season," ensuring fans will see more of Bieber in the future on CSI.
"Every 20 years, a phenomenon like Justin Bieber graces our world. We'd like to believe that the phenomenon of CSI has had the same impact on popular culture. The opportunity to bring them together in the premiere is a great treat for our audience and all of its new viewers. This will be true event television," Executive Producers Carol Mendelsohn, Don McGill and Anthony Zuiker said in joint statement. "We're looking forward to Justin's dramatic star turn, not only in the premiere, but in a continuing seasonal arc."
Bieber will be following in the footsteps of Taylor Swift, who also made her acting debut on the show.
