This fall, the dance competition show will introduce a range of athletes, including NASCAR driver Michael Waltrip and MMA champ Randy Couture. Olympian star for track-and-field and bobsled, Lolo Jones, will be joining as well. Former "Mean Girls" actor Jonathan Bennett and soap opera "The Bold and the Beautiful" star Antonio Sabato Jr. are also to compete.

Crowd favorites Alfonso Ribeiro from "The Fresh Prince of Bel Air" and Lea Thompson of "Back to the Future" can be expected as well.

Author and talk-show host Tavis Smiley to be teamed up with dancing pro Sharna Burgess may have been an unlikely pair.
