So the only reason I'm posting this is because I know my God Sister is a huge fan of his (I can't front the Wire was my shit and it's great to see that he got this role, money in the bank).

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Tristan Wilds ("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 boy 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.

Tristan Wilds plays DIXON WILSON, who was adopted by the Wilson family after they took him in as a foster child. He's a star lacrosse player and a scholar. Dixon has a close relationship with his sister Annie and they both struggle to fit into the lavish Beverly Hills world.
