90210 star Dustin Milligan sat down with Just Jared to talk about his upcoming teen drama, which presidential candidate he’s rooting for, and what it was like meeting 90210 alum Shannen Doherty and Jennie Garth. Here’s what the 23-year-old Canuck actor had to say:
JJ: Happy Belated! You turned 23 late last month. How did you celebrate?
DM: Some of the cast members took me out for a nice little dinner in Hollywood–an appropriate way to celebrate. It was a just a nice quiet dinner and I got fairly intoxicated and it was nice.
JJ: Are you living in LA now?
DM: I’m in Venice (California) now, right by the beach. It’s lovely.
JJ: Congrats on snagging one of the lead characters on 90210. How did you manage that since your last series, Runaway, was canceled after just three episodes?
DM: I’m sure Runaway had a large part to do with it, having already worked for The CW. Also, I was working on an episode of Supernatural when I was auditioning for it in Vancouver. One Saturday, I actually had to go into my agency to tape because I was shooting all week. It was just one of those things where a month and a half prior to that, I checked out on the Internet and heard, possibly on your site, that there was going to be a new 90210 in the works. So, I talked to my agent about it and having that relationship with The CW prior to that probably had a huge part in it. But once I put that tape up, it was just a few days later that I found out I got the job.
