Jason Priestley Talks About His Return To ‘90210’
On Wednesday we learned that Jason Priestley, who rose to fame playing the role of Brandon Walsh on the hit 90’s series Beverly Hills, 90210, will be returning to the world of 90210 … not as an actor but as a director. This morning, Priestley spoke with Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS FM morning radio show to discuss his return:
Jason Priestley is looking forward to returning to CW’s 90210 — as director! “It’s going to be a lot of fun to work over there and work with those guys,” he said Friday on Ryan Seacrest’s KIIS-FM radio show. Priestley — who directed 18 episodes of the original series on Fox — has just one wish before he steps behind the camera. “I just hope Jennie’s in the episode — or Shannen’s there,” he told Seacrest, referring to stars Garth and Doherty. “Rob Estes and I have been friends for a long time. It’ll be fun.” Does he keep in touch with any of his former 90210 co-stars? “I talk to Jennie all the time,” he said. “We’re actually neighbors. She’s having a really good time over there.” Priestley — who has appeared on some shows, including the short-lived CBS comedy Love Monkey — said it’ll take a whole new role before he goes back on camera again. “In the last two series I’ve done I sort of played tertiary characters,” he said. “In the next show, I need to carry the freight a little more. That’s where I need to be.”
Yeah, Jason Priestley hasn’t really had great success in front of the camera on any other TV series since his BH, 90210 days. Altho I kinda liked him on the short-lived series Tru Calling (which starred Eliza Dushku), he will always be Brandon Walsh to me … whether he’s in front of the camera or behind. Hopefully having him back on the 90210 set will get him inspired to take on the role of Brandon Walsh again … my money says that he will re-Brandonify in front of the camera once again.

As a major 90210 junkie let me be the first to say that this irritates me, if you are going to be involved then we want to see you, as Brandon, back on the show not some behind the scenes bull shit!! Us fans made you who you are today & we want to see Brandon Walsh show his face dammit!

It’s sort of disapppinting that Jason won’t be in front of the cameras…at least for now. But we’ll keep hoping! Oh, and agreed, his caracter in Tru Calling sure was creeeepy. That show had potential….*and* Eliza. :(
