Jason Priestly Busy Working On Earl, Secret Life And 90210

Jason Priestly has certainly been keeping busy with a number of small screen projects these days. The former 90210 hunk will make an appearance on this week’s episode of My Name Is Earl. We have a video clip from his spot on the show as well as some info on some of the other things he’s been up to lately.

TV Guide rounded up some of the details. In addition to Priestly’s appearance on My Name Is Earl (video clip below), playing Earl’s cousin Blake, a backpack model who gets on Earl's nerves. Priestly is also currently in the process of directing another episode ABC Family’s Secret Life of an American Teenager, which is set to return on January 5th. And as you may have already heard, Priestly is also set to direct an episode of the new 90210, which means he’ll be working with a former castmate from the original series, Jennie Garth. From what TV Guide posted, Priestly’s work on 90210 will be spent entirely behind the camera, so I guess there’s no hope that we’ll be seeing Brandon Walsh make an appearance on the CW series anytime soon.

My Name Is Earl airs on Thursday nights at 8:00 PM ET on NBC.
