Here's a funny clip from a recent Jimmy Kimmel Live. Seems Kimmel bet a lot of money that former Beverly Hills 90210 star Ian Ziering would actually win Dancing with the Stars. But Ziering lost, and Kimmel didn't win the $4000 that he could have won. So he sends his Uncle Frank and Cousin Sal over to Ziering's dressing room to beat him up. But Uncle Frank doesn't stop there.The thing that stands out to me in the video? Even in a comedy sketch, Ziering isn't a very good actor. Takes a fake punch well though. Video after the jump!

Hm. I think that looked believable and overall really good.
Sure he can't act but I think he was doing just as fine as George Wendt on that first show of Conan TV Squad showed us yesterday.
I mean come on... how believable was "Cheers"' "Norm!!!"-entry every week? That wasn't good acting either, still we loved it. And Beverly Hills 90210 rocked my world when I was 15 ^^;

He wasn't that interesting an actor on Beverly Hills 90210 in the '90s. He seemed to be on there for the looks.

Ian Ziering annoys me because he mispronounces his own name... I remember years ago he appeared on television and was introduced by the host as "ee-en" and he had the temerity to correct the presenter, saying "no, I think you'll find that name is ALWAYS pronounced eye-an". Maybe for him, but not for the countless other Ians in the world...
On a personal note, once I was over in Arizona and I ordered a coffee and the barista asked my name so she could mark the cup. I said Ian, and she said "cool, you only have initials for a name". I was a bit confused until my coffee arrived with "E.N." written on it...
It never ceases to amaze me how names get mangled over there. For example, why in the States are people now pronouncing Ciara as "Sierra" when it's meant to be the same as Keira (as in Knightley)?
Bah humbug :)

You have a problem with the pronunciation of names? There's a guy on TV, I think he's a news reporter and his first name is Sean. From all that I know, SEAN is pronounced the same as Shawn or Shaun. Well he pronounces it as See-An.

Actually I was wrong. He is the MSNBC weatherman and his name is Sean McLaughlin and he pronounces his name SEEN.
