Background:

American actor Ian Ziering is recognized for portraying well-to-do jock Steve Sanders on the Fox popular long-running drama “Beverly Hills, 90210” (1990-2000). Prior to the successful drama series, he appeared on the daytime shows “Love of Life,” “The Doctors” (1981-1982) and “The Guiding Light” (1986-1988), and in several “Afterschool” and “Schoolbreak” specials. Post “90210,” he appeared periodically on television in guest roles and was seen in the hit comedy “Son Of A Beach” (2002). On the wide screen, Ziering is probably best remembered for playing himself in the Tiny Scott-directed Domino (2005), opposite Keira Knightley and Brian Austin Green. He is now participating in the high-rated Reality-TV “Dancing with the Stars” (2007).

In addition, Ziering has enjoyed a productive side career as a voice artist. He has worked on various animated series, including “Biker Mice from Mars” (1993-1996, 2006), “Mighty Ducks” (1996), “Godzilla: The Series” (1998) and “Spider-Man” (2003).

Career:

Ian Ziering started working in commercials in his pre-teens. During this period, he also made his TV acting debut on the daytime drama “Love of Life.” He continued to collect some stage credits, including playing Nils in the short-lived musical “I Remember Mama” (1979), opposite Liv Ullmann, and portrayed John in the national tour of “Peter Pan.” He got his first taste in front of the film camera in 1981 when director Franco Zeffirelli cast him in the role of Sammy Butterfield on the drama/romance Endless Love, starring Brooke Shields.

Returning to daytime drama after the 1981-1982 appearance as rich Aldrich #3 on “The Doctors,” Ziering took on the role of a tormented teen named Cameron Stewart on the CBS long-running soap opera “The Guiding Light” (1986-1988). After this, he appeared on daytime “Afterschool” and “Schoolbreak” specials like “Terrible Things My Mother Told Me” (ABC, 1988) and “Flour Babies” (1990, NBC).

Following a guest appearance on “Married with Children” (1990), Ziering scored a huge breakthrough when he landed the starring role of Steve Sanders, the well-to-do jock turned newspaper publisher, on the high school drama “Beverly Hills 90210,” opposite Tori Spelling, Jason Priestley, Luke Perry and Jennie Garth. Debuting in 1990, the series soon became a hit and Ziering stayed with the show until it came to an end ten years later.

While working on the Fox show, the well-built curly-haired blond performer also kept busy working on numerous other projects. He reprised his Steve Sanders role for three episodes on the long-running series “Melrose Place” (1992), played George Peck, the young desk manager at the hotel who approaches Shelley Long, in the drama-romance made-for-TV The Women of Spring Break (1995), appeared with Russell Crowe in the action movie No Way Back (1995), starred as a videogame programmer in the cult favorite Subliminal Seduction (1996, TV), as well as costarred with Olivier Gruner in the indie-Western Savate (1997). He also did voice-overs for such animated programs as the syndicated series “Biker Mice from Mars” (1993-1996), Disney’s “Mighty Ducks” (1996), “Godzilla: The Series” (1998) and Batman Beyond: The Movie (1999, TV). Ziering revisited the stage in the 1997 L.A. production of “What Is Art?”

Following the demise of “90210,” Ziering made sporadic appearances on television. He picked up guest roles in “Inside Schwartz” (2001), “JAG” (2001) and “What I Like About You” (2002). He also had a recurring role, as Harry Johnson, on the well-liked comedy “Son Of A Beach” (2002), and provided the voice of Harry Osborn on two episodes of “Spider-Man: The New Animated Series” (2003). In 2005, the actor offered an unforgettable image-tweaking role as himself in Tony Scott’s Domino. The action film starred Keira Knightley as Domino Harvey, a model turned bounty hunter and daughter of actor Lawrence Harvey. His fellow “90210” alumni Brian Green also acted in the movie. The same year, he was also featured in the short film Six Months Later. Next, Ziering directed and appeared in the short-comedy Man vs. Monday (2006) and portrayed Francis in the drama/thriller film Stripped Down (2006). He also reprised his voice role of Vinnie on two episodes of the cartoon series “Biker Mice from Mars” (2006).

Currently, Ziering is a contestant on the popular ABC reality series “Dancing with the Stars” (2007).
