Michael Steger has joined the cast of the CW's Beverly Hills, 90210 [1] spinoff. He'll play Navid, a student of Persian descent and the producer of West Beverly Hills High School's TV newscasts.

Steger's character, who spins around town in his convertible Cadillac, is also a Scientologist who drinks non-alcoholic wine to fit in with the partying crowd.

Iranian character gets new zip code

I remember watching the original '90210' as a teen. I never thought there'd be an Iranian character on a show like that, despite what I had heard about the demographic make-up of Beverly Hills. It's interesting to hear that the new version of the show features an Iranian character. I imagine people on this site will argue about things like the actor not being Iranian, the character being a Scientologist, his being called Persian vs. Iranian, etc, etc. Nonetheless, it's interesting to see Iranian characters popping up here and there on TV.
