I had the privilege of recently catching up with 90210’s Trevor Donovan via e-mail. The three big take-aways from our conversation: you can keep calling him Ken, don’t be afraid to (respectfully) approach him on the street and, oh yeah, tune into the show!
TeenDramaWhore: When you joined the show over the summer, did you have any idea Teddy would still be around all these months later?
Trevor Donovan: I wasn’t sure. I was just having a great time working with the cast.
TDW: Will you be back for season 3?
Donovan: Stay tuned.
TDW: What’s been the easiest thing about working on 90210 and what’s been the hardest?
Donovan: Easiest: well, working with such great cast mates. Hardest: being so close to the beach and not be able to surf.
TDW: There’s two things we know are coming up for Teddy: more interaction with Silver [Jessica Stroup] and Teddy’s father, Spence [Ryan O’Neal], comes to town. Can you tell us what to expect with those?
Donovan: Expect good things. Love Jessica Stroup… she’s amazing.
TDW: The show has shown its philanthropic side by collaborating with Habitat for Humanity and Warriors in Pink. What were those experiences like for you?
Donovan: A lot of fun. Am looking forward to doing more..
TDW: In an episode earlier this season, Ivy [Gillian Zinser] jokingly told Teddy not to tweet about her relationship with Liam [Matt Lanter]. As an actor, what value do you think Twitter has?
Donovan: Well, it is such a random thing… if I think of it, I’ll text a tweet.
TDW: A lot of people have looked at you this past year and compared you to a Ken doll. Compliment or insult?
Donovan: Ken is world-known and treated his lady (Barbie) pretty well, as far as I know….so, I’ll take it as a compliment.
TDW: Have you had any interesting fan encounters?
Donovan: Every one of them. I really like meeting fans.
TDW: What’s one thing people don’t know about you?
Donovan: I sing and play guitar.
TDW: What other projects are you working on?
Donovan: Right now I’m taking a vacation and helping out my Mom on the house. Stayed tuned for future projects. Thanks for chatting. I hope you guys enjoy the rest of season 2 of 90210. Keep watching!
Come back Sunday for another exclusive interview!
