'BH90210' Adds Ivan Sergei as Tori Spelling's Husband
Another actor has signed on for the upcoming "BH90210."
Ivan Sergei has been cast as Tori Spelling's husband, Deadline reports. The show is based on the real lives and relationships of Spelling and her former "Beverly Hills, 90210" co-stars Jason Priestley, Shannen Doherty, Jennie Garth, Ian Ziering, Gabrielle Carteris, and Brian Austin Green. They'll play heightened versions of themselves that are reunited when one of them suggests doing a "90210" reboot.
Sergei's character, Nate, is an ex-hockey player hoping to break into professional sports announcing. In real life, Spelling is married to TV personality Dean McDermott, and they have five children together. The role on the show is a recurring one.
Sergei has had a number of TV roles in the past. He starred in "Gravity," "Crossing Jordan," and "Jack & Jill." Additionally, he worked with Spelling on the TV movie "Mother, May I Sleep With Danger?" Some of his film credits include "Lafayette," "Fatal Instinct," and "The Break-Up."
The actor will recur on "BH90210," joining La La Anthony and Vanessa Lachey as cast members who weren't part of the original series. Anthony and Lachey are also playing spouses; their TV husbands will be Green and Priestley, respectively.
We're expecting nostalgia and fun when we return to our favorite TV zip code this summer. "BH90210" premieres Aug. 7 on Fox.
