But if it's the right thing, I'm certainly open to it. I loved working on that show. I loved everything I did on it. I had so many different jobs, it was great."Jason - who has since starred in US TV shows 'Without a Trace' and 'Medium' - also revealed he isn't prepared to appear on US TV talent show 'Dancing with the Stars'. The actor, who is a budding racing driver, said: "Racing is much more my thing. Also, since I had my big crash back in 2002, I probably wouldn't be able to put on those crazy shoes that you have to wear. I'm not a dancer!"The pilot of the 'Beverly Hills 90210' spin-off - which is expected to focus on the new principal of West Beverly High School, who moves his family of four from Kansas to California - is being written by 'Veronica Mars' creator Rob Thomas.Other original stars expected to return include, Tori Spelling, Luke Perry and Shannen Doherty.(C) BANG Media International
