To an entire generation of young people Jason Priestley was and forever will be associated with the character of Brandon Walsh from the original 'Beverly Hills, 90210.' While he accepts this, he doesn't seem to be as attached to the character himself, as revealed on 'Chelsea Lately' (Weeknights, 11PM ET on E!).

On his new-to-the-US DirecTV series, 'Call Me Fitz,' he plays a much smarmier and unlikable anti-hero, and that seems to suit him just fine. Though he couldn't find the expression to say it, he indicated that playing such an iconic role on such an iconic show is a bit of a double-edged sword.

Certainly many actors and actresses have struggled with typecasting after playing signature roles for many years on television. The kids of the original '90210' were no different.

As for the role itself, Priestley said he didn't get caught up in the hype of it all himself. "I know that that show had a lot of import to a lot of people who watched it," he said "But to me it was just another job, really."

"Well, that's a disappointing answer," Handler responded for all of us. Live it, love it and own that moment in your life. Do you think Captain Kirk was just another job for William Shatner? Michael Knight was just another job for David Hasselhoff?
