EW published this photo. You can read about Brian’s role HERE. I think this is a smart move for Brian. DH is a large show and being on ABC this gets him into the network’s pool. Remember even Nathan Fillion played a boytoy on DH before he landed CASTLE. This is a great opportunity for BAG to get out of the old 90210 shadow, be seen as an adult and be considered by ABC for a lead in future shows.

Finally got some HQ’s from this shoot!

Brian was out last week promoting his new TV movie The Wild Girl. If you missed it- the Hallmark Movie Channel is repeating it this weekend.

Brian Austin Green understands at this point that not a lot of people are going to feel too sorry for him, given that he attained great fame at 17 on the teen drama “Beverly Hills, 90210.”

The series took him through his late 20s and nearly 300 episodes and a charmed existence that sees him as the long-time on-again, off-again boyfriend (and occasional fiance) of Megan Fox, who may well be Hollywood’s reigning sex symbol and “It” Girl.

So shed no tears for Green. At 36, he continues to have the world by the tail in many ways.

But that doesn’t mean that life is always a piece of cake, either.

The intervening 10 years have been far less consistent, more like a typical actor scrapping to land work. There were recurring roles on the sitcom “Freddie” (2005-06) and the drama “Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles” , along with other cameos and a few film gigs. But in the main, there has been nothing to approach “90210.”

“That isn’t to say that ‘Beverly Hills’ was 100 percent an amazing experience,” Green maintains.

“Overall, it was great. We were a really tight family. There was a bond there even through all of our differences and hating and loving each other. I still talk to Luke (Perry) all the time. It’s one of those things you feel you’ll never really be able to duplicate.”

But forgetting the past, Green now has a promising present and future both personally and professionally. While his relationship with Fox continues to grow and evolve, his career also has shifted gears. He is finishing work as the lead in the indie horror flick “Last Stop,” and he stars in the period drama “The Wild Girl,” a Hallmark Movie Channel original which premieres 8 p.m. Saturday.

In “Wild Girl,” set in the 1930s, Green portrays Ned Giles, an aspiring photojournalist who winds up entangling himself in a mission to rescue the kidnapped son of a rich Mexican landowner.

The film costars Oscar-nominated actor Graham Greene (“Dances With Wolves”) and is based on the novel “The Wild Girl: The Notebooks of Ned Giles, 1932,” by author Jim Fergus.

“It’s far more than just a cowboys-and-Indians story,” Green says of “The Wild Girl.”

“It’s an amazing story that’s set during a time when Native Americans were being completely annihilated, telling of a group of young adults who randomly end up on this journey to rescue a boy who’s been taken and in the process find themselves and figure out who they are. It depicts humanity at its best and at its darkest.”

Green points to how much fun he had on the film’s month-long shoot in Toronto, and “how terrific it was to play the guy who anchors things, rather than the guy who blows his top all of the time or sits back and lets things happen. I got to portray a photographer who appreciates humanity, who sees the beauty of people and the world through a lens. For my character, it’s about standing up for himself and becoming a man.”

This isn’t to say that it was all work and no play for Green during filming. He describes how actress Lola Tash, who in the film portrays the wild Apache girl Chideh, had the legs of her sweat pants sewn shut during one lunch period — by him.

“I did it so perfectly, too,” Green recalls. “It was something I learned while working on (the series) ‘Freddy.’ It’s one of those things you hold onto. I’m just so proud that I’m beaming right now. Really.”

One thing Green admits he can do without is the tabloid media and paparazzi, which have driven him slightly bonkers since he began his relationship with Fox in 2004. It has resulted in his being the subject of Twitter hacks claiming their engagement and years of being chased by paparazzi that’s continued to build along with Fox’s fame.

“For me, it’s become sort of a balance of freedom of the press vs. human rights and the right to privacy,” Green admits. “I get it that these photographers need to make a living. I understand that they want pictures of me with Megan. If we go to a premiere or a restaurant, we’re subjecting ourselves to their shutters. But when they follow me out the front door of my home and in cars when I pick up my son from school, that’s really the line for me. I just don’t understand that.

“When they start taking shots of me taking out my garbage in the morning, I mean, what’s that about? To my mind, the law on that needs to be changed to help make for a safer environment for actors and celebrities.”

It all comes down to the tabloidization of the media that’s made being a renowned performer a potshot opportunity for anyone with a keyboard and a blog, Green believes. “Stars used to be these people we looked up to,” he adds. “Now, it’s all about who had this crazy affair, who beats their kids. That’s why I feel so badly for Tiger Woods. The man almost single handedly made golf what it is today. Now, because of the media, we see him only as a joke.”

This, to Green’s mind, qualifies as the negative aspect of celebrity. But there’s a uniquely positive one as well, one that he tries never to forget. A lot of it involved the Make-A-Wish Foundation and the organization’s arranging for dozens of severely ill kids to come by the “Beverly Hills, 90210″ set to have their dream come true before it was too late.

“I would just imagine that we were a big enough deal that kids would make visiting us their one thing to do — and that’s beyond humbling, beyond words,” he says. “As much as we tend to get caught up in our jobs and our lives, we need always to remember what’s really important in life. That’s the most amazing thing about success, that one moment when you can use it to help another human being.”
