'90210': 'Supernatural's' Matt Cohen replaces Drew Seeley as Jeremy
Things move fast in Beverly Hills! Actor Drew Seeley was set to guest star as newcomer Jeremy this season on "90210" as our West Bev friends head off to their various post-high-school lives.
Unfortunately for him, sources tell Zap2it exclusively that Seeley, best known as Zac Efron's singing voice in the first "High School Musical" and most recently of TBS's '80s college comedy "Glory Daze," called into work sick on Wednesday -- and was promptly replaced.
Unable to rearrange the schedule to accomodate Seeley's sick day, the powers that be at "90210" pulled an eleventh-hour switcheroo. Sources tell us the character will now be played by Matt Cohen, who is familiar to CW fanatics from his role as young John Winchester on "Supernatural." Cohen had auditioned for the role earlier, but was the producers' second choice.
Series star Shenae Grimes, however, knows Cohen from their days on "Degrassi" and "South of Nowhere" respectively, when both shows were airing on teen-friendly cable network The N (now known as Teen Nick). "Very happy with the new hunky addition and a fellow The-N alum to boot," Grimes tweeted on Wednesday evening after their first day on set together.
What do you think of the change? Weigh in below in the comments section.

Matt told us at NJcon this last weekend about what a nightmare he had when it came to that audition because it right royally screwed with his Haiti fundraising trip with Misha Collins and meant he couldn't go. And after all that & multiple call backs, he never even got the part.
Very very glad to hear things worked out, he seemed so upset over missing the fundraiser - at least that cloud had a little silver lining. Can't wait to see him on 90210!
Who cares. It's all about silver and Teddy hotness
I loved Matt on South of nowhere and Supernatural, and his brief role in boogyman lol. I think he will fit right in with the "high school" kids. Plus, he is WAY hotter than Drew Seeley
Ditto that, Sherri. How has Matt not been a regular on the CW already??!! The guy is SCORCHING.
I too was at NJ Con and was so heartbroken hearing the story of how Matt missed his Haiti trip to audition for this then lost the part. So happy to hear how it all worked out in the end. Matt is such a sweet and wonderful person and he deserves all the best life has to offer. Congrats Matt and seriously, you are way better suited for this show than that other guy!
That's sad.
Yay, I'm so happy for Matt that it worked out! I was also really disappointed for his sake that he had to miss the Haiti trip and then didn't get the part -- the universe works in weird ways, and I'm sure this was just meant to be!
