"Nick will play a hunky B-movie actor who takes his craft way too seriously," the network teased of Nick's role, according to the magazine.
"After befriending JJ (Micah Fowler) on a set, 'Tyson' summons all his powers for the performance of a lifetime, deceiving Maya and Jimmy to get JJ out of hot water."

A source told Entertainment Tonight in July that Nick had resumed acting classes at a studio in Los Angeles after taking a brief hiatus to film The Bachelor in 2016.
Nick had reportedly enrolled in a 4-6 week intensive acting course and attended one class per week to learn the basics at the time, followed by some comedy skills.

Prior to his stint on The Bachelor -- on which he proposed marriage to Vanessa Grimaldi, with whom he split in late August -- Nick also appeared on Andi Dorfman and Kaitlyn Bristowe's seasons of The Bachelorette, as well as Season 3 of Bachelor in Paradise last year.
The Bachelor's nineteenth-season star, Chris Soules, told ET in March that Nick "loves being famous."
"He loves the spotlight, he really, truly does," confessed the Iowa farmer. "If he wouldn't admit that, he's lying. I love the guy to death and there's nothing wrong with that."
Nick, however, always insisted that his search for love on television was sincere and genuine, and that he was ready to settle down with the woman of his dreams.
