Former "Wizards of Waverly Place" star Jake T. Austin is following up his role in the star-studded flick "New Year's Eve" with a guest gig on NBC's "Law & Order: SVU."

In the episode titled "Home Invasions," Austin will play Rob Fisher, the boyfriend of a girl whose family is massacred. No air date for the episode has been set yet.

"It's an honor to be a part of such a respected series," Austin said in a statement to The Huffington Post. "Being a New Yorker myself, I'm a huge fan of the show and can't wait to start filming."

"Wizards of Waverly Place" recently aired its final season. The finale was watched by 9.8 million viewers.

On the big screen, Austin can next be see playing Huck Finn in 2013's "Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn" opposite "Super 8" star Joel Courtney.

Alex, the middle and only female Russo child on "Wizards of Waverly Place," is perhaps the most sarcastic character ever to grace the Disney Channel and it's hard not to love her. Although she typically winds up in trouble -- either for her sharp tongue or her constant schemes -- it takes a lot of brain power to come up with the words and devious plans she does. While her older brother/arch nemesis Justin excels in both wizard and high school, it's Alex (Selena Gomez) who has the street smarts. As she says in one episode, "I am too book smart! Sure, I don't read books, but I hollow them out and hide things in them." Maybe she even has enough smarts to win the family wizard competition after four seasons of ups and downs.

While I agree, I am SO looking forward to seeing the actor on True Blood. I have to admit I "closet" liked Chris on OZ, I really liked his work here, but something about him on True Blood is making me really, really...interested. :)
