Ryan Eggold

Ryan: (On his character in 90210) He's just out of college and comes from a very moneyed background himself, a similar kind of town on the east coast. He got completely into drugs and was kind of a wild child and now he's turned around and wants to show these kids that there's a bigger world out there outside of Beverly Hills. I know he'll be involved with a student-she comes to me for support because she thinks I'm the only one who understands her. I try and keep it professional at first. I don't know where it goes from there.

Ryan: (When asked if he's excited about the buzz 90210 has created) I'm not excited at all; I'm just bored with it. Just bored. (Laughs.) No, I'm kidding. It's tremendously overwhelming. It's like living in some weird bubble or cocoon of 90210 all the time. It's exciting, but probably more nerve-wracking than anything.

Ryan: (About his favorite part of 90210) I like getting the chance to play an outsider. My character is not one of the kids, and he's not one of the adults. He's 24 years old, kind of unsure of where he fits in. And he doesn't belong in Beverly Hills. He's very sarcastic and makes fun of the Beverly Hills scene a little bit. It's fun to play someone like that, someone who's a bit of a loner.
