Jason Priestley

For my generation, Jason Priestley will always be Brandon Walsh, the wholesome anchor of Beverly Hills, 90210. But what earns my respect is everything he did after the teen-idol spotlight faded. The Vancouver native quietly reinvented himself as a director and producer, even moonlighting as a racing driver, refusing to be a one-note nostalgia act. His 2016 induction into Canada's Walk of Fame felt like recognition of stamina as much as fame. I like performers who keep working when the easy applause stops, and Priestley's long, varied career reads like a study in staying relevant on your own terms.
