Gossip Girl is getting a new hottie.

And he's way more than just a good-looking face—it's Cobra Starship frontman Gabe Saporta!

I can exclusively reveal that…

Saporta, 32, will make his acting debut in the CW series' upcoming season finale on May 14.

"Acting is something that has been of interest to him for a while," a source reports. "So when he was offered the role, he jumped at it."

But to keep things pretty much spoiler-free, the source stayed mum on story details. "I can tell you that he's playing a character that is not a musician," the informer said.

This isn't Saporta's first Gossip Girl collaboration.

Cobra's hit song "Good Girls Go Bad" from their third album Hot Mess features vocals by GG's Leighton Meester. She also appears in the video for the tune.

Saporta joins fellow hottie Adam Levine in recently turning to TV to show off his acting chops. The Voice coach confirmed earlier this month that he will appear on the second season of American Horror Story.
