Steve Wozniak: 'Dancing's' biggest nerd?

11.02.2009
Steve Wozniak is putting on his dancing shoes.

The 58-year-old Apple co-founder will be one of 13 celebrities appearing in the new season of ABC's . It will be the second reality show for Wozniak, who last year costarred in several episodes of comedienne Kathy Griffin's My Life on the D List.

Wozniak is a busy guy these days. Just last week he would be the new "chief scientist" at Fusion-io, a startup that sells a flash memory device for enterprise servers. However, one look at Wozniak's surprisingly lengthy (yes, the Woz has a filmography) shows he clearly has no intention of giving up show biz, even if usually plays himself.

Wozniak's first brush with Hollywood was a bit part as a hippie in 1971's Vanishing Point. More recently he played the "irate diner" in a 2005 Stephen King movie, Gotham Café, which he coproduced.

Let's hope Wozniak doesn't wash out on "Dancing" as quickly as . On the bright side, the Woz might find the five weeks of practice to be a good workout; Cuban lost 34 pounds.

"Dancing" premieres March 9 on ABC at 8 p.m.
