Casting Scoop: Nick Carter Coming to 90210

Backstreet Boy will play himself in the May 8 episode

Looks like Nick Carter is getting his showbiz career back on track since the tragic passing of his sister, Leslie Carter.

Sources confirm the Backstreet Boy will appear in an episode of 90210 playing none other than…

…himself!

According to EW.com, Carter pops up at a bachelorette party for Naomi (AnnaLynne McCord). The bride-to-be gets the special Backstreet cameo because she had a huge crush on him since junior high.

Well, who hasn't?

This isn't the first time Carter has appeared on TV. He's also had guest roles on 8 Simple Rules and American Dreams. This will be Nick's first acting gig since the death of his sister.
