Ian Ziering

Ian Andrew Ziering (pronounced /ˈaɪən ˈzɪrɪŋ/; born March 30, 1964) is an American actor best known for playing Steve Sanders on the television series Beverly Hills, 90210, a role he played from 1990-2000. He is also the voice of Vinnie on Biker Mice from Mars.

Steve Sanders has still got it! Beverly Hills, 90210 heartthrob Ian Ziering -- who played rich kid Steve for 10 seasons on the 1990s Aaron Spelling drama -- is about to give Channing Tatum's Magic Mike a run for his money. Beginning June 6, the 49-year-old actor will be taking off his clothes as a guest headliner for the Las Vegas production of famed male dance revue Chippendales.

Ziering's four-week stint with the show will include performances every Thursday through Sunday at the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino on the Las Vegas strip. He'll conclude his run on June 30.

"Actors and performers never know what their next job will be, and when I got the call from Chippendales, my jaw dropped as it came on the heels of TMZ calling me fat on national tv," the married father of one (with another one on the way) said in a statement about his new gig. "I am passionate about health and fitness, so I've kept in shape, and dancing is something I've always enjoyed, so I figured why not?"

Why not, indeed? Ziering -- dubbed "Magic Ian" by his wife Erin, with whom he shares daughter Mia Loren -- proved he had chops when he competed during the fourth season of Dancing With the Stars back in 2007. He and partner Cheryl Burke made it all the way to the semifinals and earned a perfect score from the judges for their jive, set to Elvis Presley's "All Shook Up." (They were eliminated in week nine.)

Other DWTS alum have strutted their stuff on the Chippendales stage, too. Joey Lawrence (season three) and former Bachelor Jake Pavelka (season 10) have flaunted their ripped bods as headliners, as have Jersey Shore alum Ronnie Magro and 98 Degrees boy bander Jeff Timmons.

"I am so excited to be a part of this iconic worldwide organization, it's really a dream come true!" Ziering gushed. "Hey TMZ, I've got two front row seats for you!"

From: The Underwear Expert

Following the instant popularity of Dan Savage’s hunk of a husband’s Mr. Turk swimwear campaign, we knew we had to talk to the guy. Turns out this was his first time modeling. EVER. Hard to believe from a man that looks so good in a bathing suit! We asked him about the campaign and slipped in some questions about married life too (the couple married in December of last year). “Nothing’s really changed,” he said about tying the knot. From our experience, that means his and Savage’s relationship is pretty much fail proof, and we couldn't be happier for them.

The Underwear Expert: You look great in the photos, which pair was your favorite?
Terry Miller: I’m really digging the pink and neutral tones on the striped suits. Those two are amazing! But honestly, all his suits fit so well. It’s hard…!

UX: Where was the photo shoot?
Terry: At Trina and Mr. Turks home in Palm Springs. It’s pretty spectacular!
UX: Have you modeled before or is this your first campaign?
Terry: No. Never before. I posted some photos from summer vacation on Instagram in a couple of swimsuits from last year’s Mr. Turk line. I love his clothes, Im such a fan I tagged the photos. Mr. Turk saw them and got in touch with me. He asked if I would want to get together and be photographed in some of the new line. Honestly, I’m very flattered.
UX: Congrats on the recent nuptials! How is married life?

Terry: Thank you! Same as it was before. Nothing’s really changed. We’ve been together 18 years, so marriage didn’t really change anything except our tax status
UX: Has Dan seen the photos? What’s he think if so?
Terry: Yeah. He’s seen everything. He didn’t come to the shoot, but he came for drinks after. I’m assuming he likes the pictures — he posted a bunch of them on Twitter!
UX: Is there anything else you’d like to add?
Terry: Thanks, Mr. Turk. It was such a cool experience!

UX: Thanks, Terry!
