Adam as Ty on "90210"

So you’re part of the remake of Beverly Hills: 90210! How does that feel?
Being part of the new 90210 feels very nostalgic. It's such an amazing show in American history, and became an icon, so it feels pretty awesome to be playing Ty Collins.

What’s the show about?
A Kansas family relocates to Beverly Hills, where their two children adapt to the infamous social drama of West Beverly Hills High.

What’s your character, Ty like?
He's the rich, mysterious, playboy of the West Beverly Hills High who definitely knows how to show women a good time.

Are you anything like Ty?
Ty and I are half and half. All in all Ty is a good kid, but he has many inner conflicts that cause him to act in certain ways. We both are very romantic guys, but definitely more of a playboy than me since I'm a pretty shy guy. The way he handles women in a calm smooth way is not really how I would come off since I'm a pretty goofy guy.

What has been the most memorable moment from filming so far?
I love driving my Bentley in the show! It was the coolest car in the world compared to my sweet Jalopy.

Have you had any embarrassing moments on set?
I'm a bit of a klutz, so I trip a lot over the rugs that they set out to quiet our feet which is always funny for crew to watch. I turn bright red.

Do you have a crush on any of your co-stars?
Seeing that I am single… I have a crush on all of the girls of 90210. Anyone would be lucky to have them considering they are all gorgeous and are real sweethearts.

What’s the best thing about being on this show?
My parents live all the way in Ohio so it's cool that they can at least see me every week on TV since it feels like it's been so long that I've been home.

Are you surprised at the amount of interest and support the show is getting?
No, we worked very hard to get the show up and running and we're happy with all the good feedback we have.

Do you think your life is going to change at all due to this show?
My life has already changed for the better because of the show, since it's starting to help me get more involved into philanthropic work. I can't wait to start doing more.
