Biography |
Brian Austin Green, (born Brian Green on July 15, 1973 in
Van Nuys, Los Angeles, California), is an American actor,
best known for his role as David Silver on the television
series Beverly Hills 90210, a character he portrayed from
1990 until 2000. Brian, of Scottish, Cherokee Indian,
Hungarian and Irish descent, grew up in North Hollywood,
California, and attended North Hollywood High School. Austin
attended Mascoma Valley Regional High School.
Producer Aaron Spelling has stated that Green was cast in
the role of David Silver much because he felt that Green's
own personality reflected the personality they wanted that
character to have. As such the character was often scripted
to reflect Green's own interests. As the series progressed
the David Silver character began to experiment with rap
music and turntable spinning, as did Green himself.
Prior to his role on Beverly Hills 90210, Green had a
recurring role for the three seasons (1986-1989) on the hit
CBS prime time soap opera Knots Landing, playing the role of
"Brian Cunningham", the son of "Abby Cunningham Ewing"
(Donna Mills). He reprised his role in the 1997 TV
mini-series, Knots Landing: Back to the Cul-de-Sac.
He met his ex-fiancee Vanessa Marcil on the set of Beverly
Hills 90210. Their son, Kassius Lijah, was born March 30,
2002.
In 1996, Green dropped "Austin" from his professional name
and attempted to begin a career as a legitimate rapper.
Austin was only used due to the fact that, when Green
registered with the Screen Actor's Guild, there was already
a Brian Green registered. Having no middle name, Green and
his mother, Joyce, created Austin. He had no attachment to
this name, thus it was dropped. He released a rap and
hip-hop album entitled One Stop Carnival. The record was a
failure both critically and commercially, with one critic
referring to Green as "the poor man's Vanilla Ice."
Green has appeared briefly in the multiple award winning
Showtime drama series Resurrection Blvd. as Luke Bonner, a
police officer attending law school in 2001-2002. He
appeared on the 2005 ABC sitcom Freddie, starring Freddie
Prinze Jr. before the program's cancellation in May 2006.
His newest project is a horror short called Grace, which is
set around a miscarriage gone bad, and features Gilmore
Girls actress Liza Weil as his love interest. The short will
premiere at the Fangoria Weekend of Horrors convention on
June 2, 2006, and may possibly be reworked as a full-length
feature film depending on demand and financing.
He is engaged to Megan Fox. |
