HONOR ROLES
JASON PRIESTLEY, 49
Graduate work:
After playing the handsome and wholesome Brandon Walsh for nine seasons, Priestley and his sideburns acted in some TV movies and had a guest spot in a 2002 Britney Spears video. But he’s spent most of his post-“90210” years directing. Extracurriculars: During his “90210” years, Priestley loved car racing, and in 2002, he crashed into a wall in a pre-race accident at the Kentucky Speedway and broke his feet, nose and spine.
Final grade: C
Although he was one of the show’s mainstay heartthrobs, his Hollywood career never picked up after “90210.” However, after the reboot, perhaps millennials will start copying his sideburns.
SHANNEN DOHERTY, 48
Graduate work:
After leaving the original “90210” in 1994 following four seasons as Brenda Walsh, she went on to star in the cult-fave flick “Mallrats” (1995). Doherty then returned to TV in another cult-favorite, the WB’s “Charmed” (1998). Her career had nosedived by the time she battled bloodthirsty fish in the made-for-TV movie “Blood Lake: Attack of the Killer Lampreys” (2014). Extracurriculars: In 2015, Doherty inspired people with her public battle against breast cancer. She’s now in remission.
Final grade: A
Beating cancer in real life and forgiving Kelly for stealing her TV boyfriend is impressive.
BRIAN AUSTIN GREEN, 46
Graduate work:
Green had a spate of television TV roles in the aughts following his turn as “90210” nerd David Silver. He costarred with another ’90s heartthrob, Freddie Prinze Jr., in “Freddie” and spent a season on “Desperate Housewives.” Plus he starred in the direct-toDVD horror flick “Chromeskull: Laid to Rest 2” in 2011.
Extracurriculars: Green wed Megan Fox in 2010 in Hawaii. She filed for divorce in 2015, but they reconciled. Along with their three sons, Green has one with actress Vanessa Marcil.
Final grade: C+
Green has been working on the “Magnum P.I.” reboot, so his acting career could see a boost post-“BH90210.”
GABRIELLE CARTERIS, 58
Graduate work:
Carteris’ role as the brainy, Brandonobsessed Andrea Zuckerman, was hard to live down, so she lent her voice to cartoons and video games for a few years. Like the rest of the crew, she’s had numerous TV guest spots on shows like “NYPD Blue” and “Crossing Jordan.” In 2008, she played Principal Tuckerman on a short-lived Web series called “My Alibi.” Extracurriculars: Carteris put her role as editor in chief of the West Beverly school paper to good use in her professional life: She’s been president of SAG-AFTRA union since 2016.
Final grade: B
Andrea Zuckerman with a B? Blasphemy! Carteris has a busy schedule ahead: Besides the reboot, her union election is in late-August.
IAN ZIERING, 55
Graduate work:
After playing resident bro Steve Sanders, Ziering had a number of one-off TV guest spots. But the best was yet to come: Who could have predicted that Syfy’s deliciously campy “Sharknado” (2013) would have been so successful — or garner five sequels? On the other hand: Was “Sharknado 5: Global Swarming” really necessary?
Extracurriculars: Ziering made it to the semifinals on ABC’s “Dancing With the Stars” in 2007, despite Cheryl Burke, in 2016, calling him her “least favorite” partner. He also guest starred as a Chippendales dancer in 2013.
Final grade: B
Ziering’s “Sharknado” success shows that in Hollywood, it doesn’t matter if they’re laughing with you or at you — the money is the same.
JENNIE GARTH, 47
Graduate work:
After playing popular, blond, boyfriend-stealing Kelly Taylor on “90210,” Garth carved out a nice made-for-TV-movie niche, including the forgettable Hallmark Channel Western “The Last Cowboy” (2003), which co-starred Bradley Cooper. She also starred on a couple of TV series — even teaming up with former “90210” colleague Tori Spelling in “Mystery Girls” (2014), which was canceled after one season.
Extracurriculars: Garth’s very public marriage to actor Peter Facinelli imploded and became a very public divorce when rumors of his infidelity surfaced during his “Twilight” fame.
Final grade: C
Garth has a great thing going with her TV-movie career, so if this reboot doesn’t work out, we hear Hallmark Channel is looking for a new darling.
