Adam Rodriguez joins both Magic Mike and The Dark Knight Rises

Remember when David Caruso was considered by people to be something of a sex symbol? That was back in the early days of NYPD Blue, though, and to be fair Dennis Franz had a pretty loyal following of babes too. On CSI: Miami, though, Caruso is vastly overshadowed in that department by Adam Rodriguez, and apparently Steven Soderbergh has noticed, because he's just been offered the chance to strut his stuff in the male stripper flick, Magic Mike.

Rodriguez joins a beefcake cast that includes Channing Tatum, Alex Pettyfer, Matthew McConaughey, Matt Bomer, and Joe Manganiello. The less musclebound co-stars include Gabriel Iglesias, Riley Keough, Wendi McLendon-Covey, Cody Horn, and Oliva Munn. The story centers on an experienced dancer who takes an up 'n comer under his wing.

Deadline also notes that Rodriguez has scored a teensy part in The Dark Knight Rises, but nobody knows what that role entails. Probably nobody major, but then again with Christopher Nolan you never know....
