Matt Lanter Archives

90210 costars Matt Lanter and Michael Steger are mad about the Mouse as they visit Disneyland in Anaheim, California on Tuesday (October 27).

The guys took in Disneyland’s Halloween Time and tried on some fun Halloween-themed mouse ears - love the Jack Skellington ones on Matt!

Michael, 29, and Matt, 26, also checked out the Star Tours attraction to get in touch with their inner droids - Matt voiced Anakin Skywalker on Star Wars: The Clone Wars before his gig on 90210.

Michael recently told the Los Angeles Times that he’d almost given up on acting before he got 90210.

“I was a bio major and I was going to take over my aunt’s dental practice and be a dentist,” he said. “Then I was in this play at Cal Poly and had such an amazing, profound experience that I changed my major, and I’ve pursued acting full-time ever since.”

Canadian actor Dustin Milligan won’t be returning as a regular on the next season of 90210.

“Everyone loves Dustin,” an insider tells EW. “There was just a feeling that the character had run its course.”

90210 boss Rebecca Rand Kirshner Sinclair recently admitted the first season had faults. She shared, “If Gossip Girl is about youth in New York, I want to [make 90210 more] about youth in L.A. and Beverly Hills… The show tried to be a lot of things to a lot of people in its first season. I think the center lies with the generation of kids that are in high school now. I’m not interested in casting people for stunt value (90210 alums Jennie Garth, Shannen Doherty and Tori Spelling).”

Of note: Matt Lanter, aka bad boy Liam, was recently promoted to a series regular.

Former Heroes guest star Matt Lanter has signed on to play a bad boy Liam in CW’s 90210, reports People.

The 25-year-old actor, who once competed in Bravo’s Manhunt: The Search for America’s Most Gorgeous Male Model, will shake things up at West Beverly High (especially with Naomi, played by AnnaLynne McCord).

90210 returns with new episodes on Tuesday, Jan. 6. Matt will first appear in an episode in February.
