Jason Priestley who will forever be identified with Beverly Hills 90210 as all American Brandon Walsh for several seasons has changed his famous zip code to
a native Canadian postal code. His name certainly guarantees a bit of box office
attraction for his new Canadian series Private Eyes.
I did a bit of a double take when I saw he was born in 1969 making him as I write
this 49 years old. Granted he was no teen when he was playing one, but I have
to say he looks pretty good for his age. We should all age so well.
Priestley whom I remember on a long ago interview said he was a hockey player as a kid plays an ex-hockey player and is now trying to reinvent himself
as a private detective. He works for Cindy Simpson who took over her dad's
detective agency and he's come in as an operative.
The series has a Remington Steele like quality to it with the chemistry between
Priestley and Simpson. Hopefully it will have as long a run as Remington
Steele did.
