Jason Bradford Priestley (born August 28, 1969), actor, was born in North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. He 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 good reviews for his work in Love and Death on Long Island (1997), in which he played a teen idol. In 2004 he became 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 Indy 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 automobile crashed into a wall at nearly 180 miles per hour. 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.

He was a big fan of the band Barenaked Ladies, and stood up front at a number of their California concerts in the early to mid 1990s. He eventually met the band and in his desire to help them succeed, suggested that he direct the music video for The Old Apartment, and use his fame to persuede 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. Ed Robertson of the band cites him as instrumental in their American success. His final notable contribution to the band came when he directed a feature-length documentary about the band's 1999 whirlwind of success entitled Barenaked in America, intending to capture on film the fun he had while riding around on the tourbus with the band.
