90210 Star Has New Queer Zip Code

Long ago, young Brian Austin Green was the baby of the cast on Fox's Beverly Hills, 90120.

Many TV appearances and one fizzled hip-hop career later, Green is returning to the small screen in the latest series from Will & Grace creators Max Mutchnick and David Kohan, which Romeo reported on late last year.

The untitled CBS pilot has now been cast, and Green will play the gay character based on Mutchnick. (It's loosely based on the friendship between the two men, one gay and one straight.)

Also featured in the principal cast are two female leads, to be played by Vanessa Lengies and Jessica Capshaw (who has a recurring role this season on The L Word).

If it all sounds like Will & Grace after a game of sexual-orientation musical chairs, you might not be too far off the mark.

But now that W&G is gone, this substitute from its funny creators sounds like it'll hit the spot.
