We’ve often heard girls scream on CSI, but I’m not sure they’ve screamed while watching CSI.

Although he’s already appeared in a few Saturday Night Live sketches, Justin Bieber won’t officially make his acting debut until later this fall. That’s when the teen singing sensation helps the hit CBS drama kick off its 11th season.

Bieber, 16, will play Jason McCann, a “troubled teen” who has an “explosive confrontation” with the CSIs following a situation involving his only brother. It’s a storyline that won’t see a conclusion until later in the season.

This won’t be the first time the hit series has featured a popular young singer. Taylor Swift also guested on an episode of CSI back in March 2009.
