LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Los Angeles Lakers star Pau Gasol is getting a chance to show off his acting moves on CSI: Miami.
CBS says Gasol will appear in the Nov. 16 episode of the crime drama, playing a person of interest in the investigation of a terrible car accident.
CSI: Miami stars David Caruso and Emily Procter.
Gasol sat out the Lakers' final six preseason games because of a strained right hamstring, and was considered unlikely to play in Tuesday night's season opener.
The Spanish-born athlete has other screen credits, including an appearance on the CBS drama Numb3rs with teammate Jordan Farmar.
