Craig Bierko has a thing for football these days.

The actor, who has appeared on USA's Necessary Roughness as Dani's ex-husband, will guest star on a December episode of The Mentalist as a professional quarterback.

Look for Bierko's Trevor to learns a lesson from Patrick Jane, as producer Bruno Heller teases to TV Line: “He learns there is more to life than fame, fortune, and women."

Bierko has also enjoyed stints on Sex and the City, The Good Wife, Damages and Boston Legal. The Mentalist, meanwhile, airs a new episode tomorrow night. Watch a preview for Jane's day at the beach now.
