Michael Kenworthy(I)

Was offered one of the five male leads on the debut season of Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990). Declined because his family was urging him to attend college. Producer Aaron Spelling was uncharacteristically flustered by this; he warned Kenworthy that "You walk out now, and you'll never work in Hollywood again!" Kenworthy took numerous theater/film-production courses at two separate universities...but even after getting his second degree, "I felt like I still didn't know anything. On the other hand, should Quentin Tarantino call me in, I'm there".

[on Shawnee Smith, his co-star from The Blob (1988)] She and I hit it off pretty well. Whenever she went to hug me, I'd give her the hug plus a kiss. That *always* made her blush!
