What The World Has Been Waiting For...Justin Bieber Makes Acting Debut on 'CSI'

[Brian Damage]

CBS made headlines (and gained a hefty ratings boost) from having Taylor Swift guest star on "CSI" last year. Now the crime drama's fall premiere has landed Justin Bieber.

The teen singer will make his acting debut on the show's season opener.

Bieber 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. It is the beginning of an emotional story that will conclude later in the season."

"Every 20 years, a phenomenon like Justin Bieber graces our world," said executive producers Carol Mendelsohn, Don McGill and Anthony Zuiker in joint statement ... rather generously. "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. We're looking forward to Justin's dramatic star turn, not only in the premiere, but in a continuing seasonal arc."

Yes. "CSI" and the teen idol, so much alike.

Justin Bieber ... or, as the average CBS viewer calls him, "where's my blanket."
