Pau Gasol's appearance on television screens happens often since he is one of the best basketball players in the world.

Only last month, Gasol was voted MVP of EuroBasket 2009 in Poland after leading Spain to their first European title.

He is going to be on TV for a different reason in 2010, though.

The Los Angeles Lakers superstar will be filming this week in the American television series CSI Miami.

The seven-footer will spend three days with a crew filming in different locations in Los Angeles.

This is the second time Gasol has acted in a television series.

He has appeared with LA teammate Jordan Farmar in the American TV drama Numb3rs, a show about the FBI.

In Numb3rs, Gasol played himself but in CSI Miami, the Spaniard will play a fictional character.
