David Gail, best known for his work on Beverly Hills, 90210, and Port Charles, passed away at 58.
News of the beloved actor’s death first broke via Instagram by Peter Ferriero, the Beverly Hills 90210 Show podcast host.
Peter revealed over the weekend that he had just been informed of the scene-stealer’s passing but noted that he was “grateful” to have had the opportunity to chat with him.
Gail is best known to teen drama fans for playing Stuart Carson, the love interest of Shannen Doherty’s Brenda Walsh.
Although he had a recurring role from 1993-94, his character significantly impacted Brenda, and their initial dynamic enthralled fans.
Sadly, the relationship just wasn’t built to last. Teen dramas tend to put their characters through the wringer before they find their endgame love.

Stars: Colleen Porch, Joel Bryant, Ridege Canipe | Written by Lars Jacobson | Directed by Lars Jacobson, Amardeep Keleka
Cradle Will Fall aka Baby Blues, the debut feature from the team of Lars Jacobson and Amardeep Keleka, is based (very loosely) on the true story of Andrea Yates – a Texan mother who drowned her five children in the bath in 2001 and is a story of post partum depression taken to the horrific slasher movie extreme. The film is most definitely not for the motherly types out there. With her truck driving husband constantly out on the road, a young mother (Colleen Porch) struggles to raise her three young children alone on a secluded farmhouse. Already suffering from post partum depression, the pressure of caring for her three children causes her to undergo a psychotic break and triggers a filicidal rampage. The only person capable of stopping her murderous attack is her eldest child,...

Title: Bending All the Rules Directors: Morgan Klein and Peter Knight Starring: Bradley Cooper, Colleen Porch (‘Transformers’), David Gail (TV’s ‘ER’) Bending all the rules is supposed to reference the gender stereotypes lead character Kenna (played by Colleen Porch) is supposed to break in the new Lionsgate DVD of the same name. However, despite featuring Bradley Cooper in one of his earliest lead roles, ‘Bending All the Rules’ fails to live up to its potential and use the fan favorite actor to its advantage. The movie smashes all the characteristics of comedies that make them successful, including funny characters and humorous situations, to largely focus on the fact that Kenna’s...

Hitting movie theaters this weekend:
Bad Teacher – Cameron Diaz, Jason Segel, Justin Timberlake
A Better Life - Demián Bichir, José Julián, Eddie ‘Piolin’ Sotelo
Cars 2 – Owen Wilson, Larry the Cable Guy, Michael Caine
Movie of the Week
Bad Teacher
The Stars: Cameron Diaz, Jason Segel, Justin Timberlake
The Plot: A comedy centered around a foul-mouthed, junior high teacher (Diaz) who, after being dumped by her sugar daddy, begins to woo a colleague — a move that pits her against a well-loved teacher.
The Buzz: Nope, no buzz. No competition here. Bad Teacher could (or should) be Diaz’ swan song as a sex symbol, she’s just not looking the part these days. Director Jake Kasdan does have some reputable directorial chops, most notably five episodes of Freaks and Geeks, but this looks to be just another lukewarm comedy. A weak cast and a weak premise will probably doom this film at the box office.

How do you know you’re officially a movie star? When a film you shot roughly a decade ago finally gets a DVD release. Welcome to the club, Bradley Cooper! The R-rated Bending All the Rules, in which he stars as a struggling radio DJ/bartender caught up in a love triangle with Colleen Porch and David Gail, streets June 21. Watch a clip below. Even though he’s shirtless, in bed, and using some Nsfw language, it’s still not as sexy as him speaking French, is it?

Bradley Cooper’s all the rage right now, what with The Hangover, The A-Team and his new film Limitless in theaters now. On June 21, Lionsgate will release a movie Bradley made before he was Jennifer Garner’s pal in TV’s Alias (bet you’d forgotten he was in that): Bending All the Rules, a blah romantic comedy from 2002. The DVD will carry the list price of $26.98.
Lionsgate’s press materials synopsize the movie like this: “Kenna (Colleen Porch, I Know Who Killed Me) is a serial dater, who always puts her love life behind her career. When she finally lands her lifetime dream — her own photography exhibition — her cool and casual personal life turns hot too. Kenna finds herself being pursued by two very different men: Jeff (Cooper), the sensitive artsy type, and Martin (David Gail, The Belly of the Beast), the slick man of power. The two vie for Kenna’s affection,...

If you feel like you've seen this week's new slasher flick "The Stepfather" before, you probably have, even if you're not a fan of the 1987 original starring "Lost"'s Terry O'Quinn. That's because the family-bands-together-to-fend-off-the-one-member-who-turns-on-the-rest trope is at the heart of dozens of horror movies.
Need proof? Here's a list of ten different types of immediate and extended family members and a notable cinematic example of each going medieval on their loved ones.
Killer Mom
I'd wager that everybody has said "My parents are crazy!" at least once in their lives. But the filicidal mother in 2008's "Baby Blues" is so far gone into Crazytown that she'll make you want to call your own mom to apologize for ever implying she was nuts. Colleen Porch plays the killer in question, an exhausted mother of four with a truck-driving husband, who snaps one day and begins picking off her own children slasher movie-style; at one point,...

“Cradle Will Fall” marks the debut of co directors Lars Jacobson and Amardeep Kaleka, and is based upon the true story of Andrea Yates, a Texan mother who drowned her five young children in 2001 while suffering from depression. How closely the film follows the actual events is debatable, since Jacobson and Kaleka have taken an overtly horror-friendly approach, focusing on slash and stalk sequences and gore murders rather than attempting to deliver a psychological examination of the woman’s mental breakdown, and clearly showing the influence of a variety of genre classics. The film is being released on region 2 DVD via Momentum Pictures, and is one of the rare examples of a production arguably benefiting from a title change, as although “Cradle Will Fall” may sound somewhat generic, it is infinitely more appropriate than the bizarre gag-like original moniker “Baby Blues”. The film follows actress Colleen Porch (also in “I Know Who Killed Me...

A truck driving father heads out on a run at a most inconvenient time when his wife happens to be on the brink of a mental breakdown. With three children and a young baby, "Mommy Dearest" is left to deal with her life of isolation on her own. If you can't handle mothers killing babies, do not watch this movie. Baby Blues features a plotline of post-partum depression that starts out uber-realistic in showing the mothers' psychotic breakdown. It's "delivery" is so tense and scary that I honestly have not been this frightened in a movie for a long time.
This disturbing vein continues throughout the movie, however it shifts from realism to flat out slasher mode and thankfully so. I found myself talking out loud to the children and yelling at the screen or just simply had my hand over my mouth in outright fear expectancy. Colleen Porch is simply terrifying.
