The Wire's Tristan Wilds lands 90210 role

Tristan WildsIt's a step up from Baltimore. Tristan Wilds, who played Michael on The Wire, is playing the male lead in the 90210 spinoff. Wilds will take on the role of Dixon, the adopted son of the Harry and Celia Mills. The Mills family is shaping up to be much more entertaining than the Walshes. Jessica Walter and Lori Loughlin have already been cast as the grandmother and mother, respectively. I can't wait to see Michael having family dinner with Lucille Bluth and Becky from Full House.

In other 90210 casting news, Michael Steger is playing Navid, producer of the West Beverly High's TV news show. I'm not familiar with Steger, but I'm thrilled that Wilds is returning to TV.

The Mills family is almost complete. I'm eager for the role of Harry Mills to be cast. The actor will have to hold his own with Jessica Walter, and that's no easy task. While I'm not part of the spinoff's target audience, I'll be watching the first few episodes out of support for Walter and Wilds.
