Retired basketball player Charles Barkley will be seen in a cameo on the upcoming season five of legal drama "Suits".
Barkley, 52, a self-confessed fan of the series, will appear in the third episode, where he will play a heightened version of himself, said The Hollywood Reporter.
"It's really cool for me, because when they heard me bragging about the show they invited me and I was like, 'I gotta make it work'," Barkley said.
"Right now with playoffs we're in our busy time and the only day we have off is Friday. I was like, 'I don't give a shit. My day off, we're going up there to Toronto'."
He is not the first athlete to make a guest star appearance on the series. Olympian Michael Phelps filmed a cameo during season three's "Buried Secrets".
"Suits", starring Patrick J Adams and Gabriel Macht in lead roles, is currently filming in Toronto. Season five premieres on June 24 on USA Network.
