Actor Tristan Wilds, who captivated television audiences as street tough yet compassionate Michael Lee on seasons four and five of the hit HBO series, The Wire, has landed the male lead in the CW’s “Beverly Hills, 90210″ spinoff.
The show centers on the Mills, a three-generation Beverly Hills family whose teen kids, daughter Annie (Shenae Grimes) and adopted son Dixon (Wilds) attend West Beverly Hills High.
Also joining the cast is Michael Steger (The Winner), who will play Navid, producer of the school’s closed-circuit newscast and a consummate student politician.
Since wrapping production on The Wire early this year, Wilds, a 19-year-old Staten Island, New York native, has appeared in two films yet to be released, Indelible and The Secret Life of Bees.
