Jason Brandon Walsh Jason Priestley, who used to play Brandon Walsh and was the cutest guy on the show (according to me), is just as nice in real life. That's what his cast members says. During the long hours of making 90210, it's Jason and Jennie Garth who make things more fun. They always make some jokes or just are their if the others need a supporting shoulder to lean on. From that, Jason is far from what his character Brandon is, according to himself anyway. - I'm very different from him, says Jason in an interview. To be him, I have to pick up the "little Brandon" who's in me. There is always a little Brandon in everyone of us. A bit of morality and honesty.
Where did he grow up?
Jason grew up i Vancouver, Canada, together with his older sister Justine, mom Sharon and dad Lorne.
Jason doesn't really want to talk about his childhood or his family. - They live their own lives and it's non of anyone else's business. I respect their private life.
Jason wanted to be an actor when he was only five years old. When he told his plans to his mom, she said: OK, but you have to take a bath every day. - Hold on, Jason said. I have to think this over. But taking a bath every day didn't scare him off for so long. He applied for jobs in commercials and smaller parts in TV-series. When Jason was 13, he stopped being an actor.- I didn't want to think about my looks all the time. It's not healthy for a young kid to go and worry about a scratch who could ruin your whole career. So I quit. Jason shaved this head, got a mohikan hair-do and went around in leather jacket, chains and army boots.
His Successfull years on 90210
After high school, Jason gave in for the acting and started taking drama lessons. 1987 did Jason move to California, where he got bigger parts in TV-series. Finally, did he end up in Beverly Hills 90210.
Jason got the part as Brandon four days before the first episode was about to be shot. The producers, who'd searched for a Brandon, was really happy when Jason showed up. And so are we, aren't we?
He stayed on 90210 as Brandon Walsh for 9 years. He left the show during the ninth season, but continued his work as an executive producer.
Not so succefully marriage
Last february, he got married to Ashlee Petersen. She had been a hair and make-up artist on the show for many years and they had found eachother there. The ceremony took place on a yacht in Miami.
In december 199 were, Jason and his wife Ashlee about to sepereate.
