Yes, Lochte will cross paths with recently reunited couple Naomi (AnnaLynne McCord) and Max (Josh Zuckerman) at a resort, where they are attempting to strengthen their relationship. Maybe Lochte could offer up some pointers?

"When we found out Ryan Lochte was going to be in town and might appear on 90210, we felt like we'd won a gold medal! Team USA are all-stars in our book, and we're so excited he's making an appearance on the show," executive producers Patti Carr and Lara Olsen said in a statement. "We only wish the episode was a surf event so we could have gotten him in the water, but he deserves a little rest on dry land."

Lochte's episode is set to air on Oct. 29, while the show's fifth season premieres Monday, Oct. 8. TVLine first reported the news of Lochte's casting.

The 28-year-old recently expressed his interest in TV...reality TV, that is. "I'm definitely looking towards Dancing With the Stars and The Bachelor, so we'll see what happens," Lochte said during his appearance on Today.

While 90210 is Lochte's first role on the small screen, he recently poked fun at himself in a Funny or Die video with Simon Pegg and Sir Patrick Stewart.
