Jason Priestley Joins 'Tru Calling' For 7 Episodes

Priestley Hears 'Calling' from FOX
(Wednesday, December 17 02:28 PM)
LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - Jason Priestley is returning to the network that made him famous, and getting a trip home on top of that.
Priestley has signed on to appear in seven episodes of the FOX drama "Tru Calling." He starts work in January in Vancouver, B.C., where the show films and where he was born.
The seven-episode arc will be his longest run on a series since he left "Beverly Hills, 90210" in 1998. He has worked on numerous TV movies and feature films since then, as well as making guest appearances on series like "Spin City," "Grosse Pointe" and "8 Simple Rules."
Priestley will play Jack Harper, a new forensic attendant at the morgue where Tru Davies (series star Eliza Dushku) works. Although he seems like a nice guy, he has a secret that may hinder Tru's ability to go backward in time to save people who die unjustly.
Priestley became an overnight heartthrob when "90210" premiered on FOX in 1990. In the years since his time on the show, he's avoided typecasting by taking parts in independent movies like "Love and Death on Long Island" and the recent "Die, Mommie, Die." He next stars in the ABC Family movie "I Want to Marry Ryan Banks" with Bradley Cooper ("Alias") and Emma Caulfield ("Buffy the Vampire Slayer").
An auto-racing fan and driver, Priestley was seriously injured last year while driving a practice lap for an Infiniti Pro Series race. He suffered a fractured spine and several other broken bones but has recovered fully.
Well this should be interesting!

I am honestly surprised that Fox has actually stuck with it this far.
