Holy hotness, Batman! 90210: the CW show providing us with the hottest line-up of guest stars this spring TV season!

Not only is 2 Broke Girls' Nick Zano set to appear on the show, we've learned that another (equally as hot) male is heading to TV's most famous zip code to heat things up with one of the show's leading ladies. 

So who's the new hottie coming to 90210? And what's the surprising twist regarding his character? Here's what we can tell you...

We've exclusively learned that Robert Hoffman is set to join the CW soap in the recurring guest star role of Caleb and will first appear in early March.

An easygoing surfer who is passionate about community service, Caleb is the ultimate catch. Seriously, the dude is charming and compassionate with capital 'C's. While sparks fly between him and one of our ladies, there's a slight problem. He's already promised himself to somebody: God. Yes, Caleb is currently a student at seminary school studying to become a priest. Don't you hate it when that happens?

Viewers will probably recognize Hoffman from his awesome turns in She's the Man (a WWK favorite, by the way), Step Up 2: The Streets and Take Me Home Tonight. Hoffman's TV credits include a recent appearance on Grey's Anatomy, Drop Dead Diva and the short-lived Vanished

90210 airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. on the CW.

What do you think of this casting news, 90210 fans? Is Caleb going to be the hottest priest-in-training to hit TV ever? And will one of our ladies sway him from his righteous path? Sound off in the comments!
