Brian Austin Green to play gay

News just broke that a Kohan and Mutchnick pilot project that focuses on two writers, one straight and one gay, has added three new cast members. In the role of the gay writer is Brian Austin Green, and two of the women he works with will include Jessica Capshaw and Vanessa Lengies. The pilot (ordered by CBS) is still untitled -- how about Two Girls, a Guy, and Brian Austin Green as a Homosexual? Kohan and Mutchnick are the guys who brought us Will and Grace, and it's great to see that they're still out there pushing for gay characters on the small screen. Green, of course, is best known for his stalkery (and ultimately successful) courting of Donna Martin as David Silver on Beverly Hills 90210 -- and least known for his failed attempt at a rap career. Here's a touching scene from 90210 where David confesses his meth addiction: I know lots of fellas who crushed hard on Green back in his 90210 days -- and as you can see in the above pic, he's outgrown a myriad of bad hairstyles and a closetful of Z. Cavaricci fashions to become quite the handsome devil. Let's just hope that if the show gets picked up they don't camp him up too much. Or let him do meth. Or rap.
