CBS announced Bow Wow (real name: Shad Moss) will be joining the cast of CSI: Cyber. The hip-hop artist/actor will be playing a hacker in the new series set to debut during the 2014-2015 season.

“Bow Wow is a gifted young actor who will have the responsibility, through his character, to set an example for young people who watch the show to ‘do what’s right’ even when you know ‘nothing but wrong,’” said Anthony E. Zuiker, creator of the CSI franchise. “It will be a redemption story and a cautionary tale all wrapped into one. The role of Nelson required someone with deep acting chops and off-the-charts smarts. Shad Moss is a unique talent that possesses both.”

Moss’ acting credits include Entourage, Moesha, The Steve Harvey Show, Ugly Betty, Smallville, The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, and Like Mike.

The Plot: CSI: Cyber is a drama inspired by the advanced technological work of real-life Cyber Psychologist Mary Aiken. The show revolves around Special Agent Avery Ryan who heads the Cyber Crime Division of the FBI, a unit at the forefront of solving illegal activities that start in the mind, live online, and play out in the real world.
