From The Wire to Hollywood...

By Honeygrip
It's too early in the morning for this type of Fuckery...
I was over at Perezhilton and saw this picture of the new cast of the new Beverly Hills 90210.
Do you see the token black guy? Squint yo eyes!!! IT'S MICHAEL!!!!!! [my fellow Wire fans understand!]
Anyways I ran to google and discovered in fact that Tristan Wilds has been cast in the new spinoff series. The Hollywood Insider says:
"The CW's spinoff of Beverly Hills, 90210 welcomes another resident: Tristan Wilds, a.k.a. Michael Lee on HBO's The Wire. Wilds will play the role of Dixon Mills, the adopted brother of Annie Mills [WHY HE GOT TO BE ADOPTED-SIGH!] (Degrassi: The Next Generation's Shenae Grimes), who moves with his family from Kansas to the famously tony zip code. The pilot also stars Lori Loughlin (Summerland), Jessica Walter (Arrested Development), AnnaLynne McCord (Nip/Tuck), and Dustin Milligan (The Messengers)."

Haven't we come far enough in the last almost 20 years to expect that maybe a black family could afford to live in Beverly Hills.... ON MY NERVES ALREADY.... but Congrats to Tristan anyways!
