Justin Bieber will be gracing the small screen for the first time in his career in the season premiere of the CBS crime-drama hit “CSI”.

He is set to take on the role of troubled teen Jason McCann. The role, according to the network’s press release, is “pivotal” for the upcoming season as his character will play an important part in “the beginning of an emotional story that will conclude later in the season”. Sounds to me like he’s in for a recurring role, but no word yet as to how frequent we’ll be seeing “The Bieb” in the show, but so far, it only shapes as a single-episode appearance for artist.

In a comment by the show’s execs, they said that Bieber’s guest appearance on ‘’CSI” is “a treat for our audience and all of its new viewers”. And since both Bieber and the show have had tremendous impact in today’s culture, hopefully his guest appearance – even if it’s just for one episode – can help the show pull up more numbers especially from the singer’s demographic, and in return, the show will allow the teen singing sensation to be seen in a new light – that is, the acting spotlight.

As for the young pop crooner, he is obviously taking the gig seriously. “Morning world…we got the acting coach here…learning a new craft”, the singer posted on this Twitter account on Thursday.
