The new Rob Thomas-penned Beverly Hills, 90210 redux is warming up, with casting news starting to trickle out.

Former Runaway Dustin Milligan is the first actor to have been cast in the updated version of the show, says the Reporter. He's set to play Ethan, the big-man-on-campus star athlete at West Beverly High.

Along with his TV work, Milligan also appeared in recent movies including creep-fest The Messengers and love-fest In the Land of Women. Without more cast announcements, it's tough to visualize his dynamic with the other as-yet-unnamed kids at West Beverly, but the floppy-haired Canadian's a good start for the spin-off.

Oh, no. It sucks already!

And believe me, I was one of the very few who had high hopes for it, coming from Rob Thomas and all. But, based on what I've seen of Runaway, this kid is as bland as bland gets. Pretty bad for a first piece of casting news.

I don't even know what Runaway is, but judging from that picture, they'd better start filming pretty soon. That guy's hair appears to be eating his face.

Not from this guy- no thanks. I thought he was crappy on Runaway and in the little-seen In the Land of Women. I'm very disappointed with this casting. But in all honesty, I don't know if I will even want to watch this anyway, so I guess it shouldn't matter to me so much.

Awful news! I can't stand this guy. I was considering giving this spin-off a chance but they had better improve the casting.
