Brian Austin Green in talks to join The CW's One Tree Hill
Beverly Hills 90210 alum Brian Austin Green earned a number of new fans playing the tough, militaristic Derek Reese on Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Now, with TSCC officially canceled, Green is heading back to the world of prime time soaps. The actor is currently in talks to join the cast of The CW's One Tree Hill.According to Variety, Green will potentially play a sports agent who is "enjoying the spoils that come from being a wealthy, handsome single guy" on the veteran drama.
It looks like One Tree Hill might be looking to Green to fill a void left by the departures of stars Chad Michael Murray and Hilarie Burton. Green certainly has Murray beat in the charisma department, and I'm sure the show's fans -- I assume they are mostly young women -- will welcome him with open arms. But I can't help but feel disappointed by this news.
I loved watching Green in Terminator. Simply put, he was rockin' the sh*t in that one! I was hoping he would land a gig on another challenging, action-oriented show or in a decent film franchise, not a teen drama on The CW.
That being typed, I wish the guy the best of luck. I hope he has fun on the show, and I hope this is a stepping-stone to something cooler.
