Former Beverly Hills 90210 star Brian Austin Green is set to star in  CSI:Miami’s season finale. Green will play  an alleged car jacking victim who isn’t as innocent as he seems.

“Our casting director suggested [Green] to me for this role,” executive producer Ann Donahue told People. “I thought he was perfect because he can play a tough guy and also have a leading man presence. So, we are thrilled to have him in our finale!”

Miami’s season finale is tentatively set to air on May, 25. No tittle has been released. Green starts filming his scenes this week.

Green plays Derek Reese on The Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. He’s currently dating actress Megan Fox.

Wow, it seems like just yesterday that the season started. At least summer will be a good time to catch up on any episodes we missed.

I do love when CBS release a sneak peak of an ep.
