BEVERLY HILLS 90210

90210 spin off new English teacher, Ryan Matthews, hasn’t yet hit the screen with the rest of the 90210 crew, but the actor who plays him, Ryan Eggold, said there is already love in the air.

“There are already romances on set,” Eggold said, though the actor declined to flesh out his comment and explain who were the cast members involved in those romances.

As for how things are going, Eggold said the cast – which includes Jennie Garth, Anna Lynn McCord, Tori Spelling, Lori Laughlin and Dustin Milligan — are getting along well.

“The chemistry so far is fantastic,” he said.

And, he added, the group is becoming fast pals.

“Already friendships [are] forming and it’s a really good group of very excited people,” he said.

Tori Spelling, a element of the primary Beverly Hills, 90210 cast, will reprise her role as Donna Martin in the imminent spinoff for The CW. She’ll play the holder of a chichi store in Beverly Hills, a hot shopping spot for local youths. She’s the second alum to join the spinoff; Jennie Garth has already signed on to recur as a guidance counselor at West Beverly High School. Exec producers Gabe Sachs and Jeff Judah have indicated that they plan to recruit as many original cast members as they can to the new series. The series debuts this fall on The CW.

In this new video the 90210 cast group talked about what they felt when they were invited to do their parts. Most of them said they were very honored for being part of the project and a bit intimidated too because of the success of the first Beverly Hills 90210.
Ryan Eggold also mentioned the fact that they all got along with each other when they first met, which seems to be rare these days.
Michael Steger said the script was really and described it as being “Fresh“, so you can expect some cool surprises.
There are also a few details about Eggold character (Ryan Matthews) and his interaction with Naomi Bennett (AnnaLynne) in the series. Looks really promising!

Twenty two years ago, in the tiny northern town of Yellowknife, NT, a man was born. (This confused medical experts everywhere as up until that time it had only been babies.)

This man (called “Dustin”) had always been one to stand up and entertain. Be it through detailed, absurdly over the top storytelling, or simple pole dancing at the local biker bar, if there was an audience, Dustin was there groveling for Loonies.
But it wasn’t until rigging the auditions and getting the lead in his high school’s productions of both “Grease” and “Saturday Night Fever” that Dustin’s continuous desire for attention turned into something more focused, something more mysterious, and something more… Deadly.

Deadly-determined that is! To become a professional actor. He waited and waited for high school to end, and when it did; he packed his stuff into his mother’s station wagon and let her drive him all the way to Vancouver BC - Hollywood North.

Fortunately for him, he was signed on with one of Vancouver’s leading talent agencies: Lucas Talent Inc. almost immediately upon arrival. Within weeks he booked his first jobs as a professional actor, all the while juggling a part-time gig as a Cake-Cutter, attending endless acting workshops and classes, and beefing up at the gym so he could audition for more “beef-cake” roles.
Since then, Dustin has performed in many films including “In The Land of Women” starring Meg Ryan and Adam Brody, “Man About Town” starring Ben Affleck, “The Messengers” starring Dylan McDermott and Penelope Ann Miller, and starred alongside “The O.C.”’s Kelly Rowan in the CTV MOW “Eight Days to Live”. His periodic credits include guest stars on “Dead like Me”, “The Dead Zone”, “Alice, I Think”, “Andromeda” and the short-lived ABC series “The Days”.

When not acting you can catch Dustin skateboarding around Vancouver, and if you do he’ll give you a prize! Seriously.

After graduating from USC, Estes took a utilitarian approach to entering Hollywood and made plans for a career as a stuntman. However, it was quickly apparent his talents deserved a wider berth. Following several years on the hit show Melrose Place, he starred in several well-received but ultimately unsuccessful television pilots. Frustrated with being limited to his work on screen, Estes made the decision to rediscover his craft on stage.

When he moved with his family to Seattle in early 2003, he sought out opportunities in that city’s thriving theatre scene. He had co-starring roles in productions in Seattle and at the nationally recognized Coeur D’Alene Rep in Idaho. This experience culminated in his co-starring performance as Solyony in Chekhov’s Three Sisters (adapted by Craig Lucas) at the Intiman Theatre, under the tutelage of Bartlett Sheer.
