 Jason Priestley mini-bio: Jason Bradford Priestley is best known for his role on the television series Beverly Hills, 90210 as the virtuous Brandon Walsh. He also appeared on the short-lived television series Sister Kate (1989). He received positive reviews for his work in Love and Death on Long Island (1997), in which he played a teen idol. From 2004-2005, he played Jack Harper, a series regular on Tru Calling, and in 2006, joined the series Love Monkey.
His hobbies include race car driving. He has provided commentary and interviews of racers for ABC's television coverage of IndyCar racing. In 1999 he participated in the first Gumball 3000 rally, driving a Lotus Esprit V-8. In August 2002, he was seriously injured during a practice run at the Kentucky Speedway when his Indy Pro Series car crashed into a wall at nearly 180 miles per hour during practice. He was fortunate to make a quick and full recovery. He was nursed back to health by his then-girlfriend Naomi Lowde, whom he married in May 2005. In February 2006, the couple announced that they are expecting their first child, due in summer.
He was a big fan of the band Barenaked Ladies, and directed the music video for "The Old Apartment", and used his fame to persuade American stations to air it. He did just that, and also invited the band to play at the "Peach Pit After Dark" on an episode of "90210."
In 2000, Priestley made his West End theatre debut in Side Man. He appeared in an episode of Without a Trace in February 2006.
