This interview is really good, in my opinion. We have Trevor talking about his return to 90210 as well as all of his other projects. Read below!

Trevor Donovan is so damn pretty it’s really unfair he’s also smart and hilarious. The California-born (of course!) actor portrays Teddy, the gay heartthrob on the CW’s 90210. Just hours before his character returns for the show’s season finale (the 32-year-old actor has only appeared sporadically during the fourth season), Donovan answers a few questions for The Advocate about manly-man Teddy, Donovan’s budding friendship with the Kennedys, and whether we might see him in the next installment of The Hunger Games series.

The Advocate: Can you tell us about your return to 90210? What brings Teddy back to Beverly Hills? Will we see him in the next season?
Donovan: Teddy finds out he has a scorching case of killer herpes and goes back to warn everyone he slept with. It’s going to be quite a dramatic season finale. Kidding, but yes, it appears there will be a season five. Will you see Teddy? Only three people know: Mark Pedowitz, the president of CW, the writers, and the third, uh, who’s the third one, I can’t, sorry, oops, wonder how many readers will get that reference. For real, this article goes to print before the show airs, so I can’t and won’t spoil it for anyone, but if you don’t watch the Kardashians win and get more years on TV! But seriously you can’t miss it, you will feel something watching it, like tingles, goosebumps, and be like WTF?! Substance returns!

Teddy is one of TV’s most un-stereotypical gay characters. Did anyone, on the show or off, ask you to “gay it up?”
Never. They saw it worked the way I played him and didn’t mess with it. Portraying him the way we did turned out much better. Could you imagine Teddy like “Just Jack?”

Some say that the lack of LGBT representation on TV plays a part in the bullying epidemic we’re seeing across the country. Would you tend to agree?
I would say that’s one of the reasons. Bad parenting mixed with being a jerky teenager and lack of positive role models are a few other reasons. I think creating an un-stereotypical gay character like Teddy was beneficial. Teddy was a jock, boy next door, popular, an overall good dude, loved by guys and girls But oh, he happen to be gay.

He wasn’t a chronic protestor or complainer, but he spoke up when he needed to and didn’t let people discriminate or take advantage of him. At least that’s how I would have played him if he was given more than two minutes of screen time! But I am very grateful for the time I was given and for the opportunity to play him. From social media like Twitter and Facebook, along with meeting people, I learned Teddy had an impact, a positive one.

You attended the recent 12th World Summit of Nobel Peace Laureates in Chicago, with Bill Clinton and the Dalai Lama in attendance. What was that like?
I mean, wow! I’m just a mountain boy from Mammoth and now I’m eating salad with the Dalai Lama and drinking vodka with Mikhail Gorbachev. I have my manager, along with Kerry and Ethel Kennedy, to thank for that. Kerry had us perform “Speak Truth to Power,” a project of the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice and Human Rights. It’s a multi-faceted global initiative that uses the experiences of courageous defenders from around the world to educate students and others about human rights, and urge them to take action. Issues range from slavery and environmental activism to religious self-determination and political participation. We are doing another one in June at the Kennedy compound in Hyannis Port, Mass. I’m very excited to visit and stay at the house where JFK and RFK grew up, and maybe play some touch football as well.

Perez Hilton has started an unofficial campaign to get you cast as Finnick in the next Hunger Games movie. Thoughts?
I’m humbled and honored, but most of all excited, because Mario (Lavandeira aka Perez) is a good guy. All actors have a dream role; playing Finnick Odair is mine. I know the odds are stacked against me. I’ll be going up against big stars like Zac Efron and Armie Hammer, but you know what, I want it more, and am very passionate about it, it’s not just another job to me, it’s much more than that. I’m not saying that it is for them. I was a fan before anyone knew The Hunger Games series would be made into movies. I read all the books the day they first came out and knew right there and then I wanted to play Finnick. I’m definitely the underdog in this race, but I’m committed and going to give it all I’ve got. As Effie Trinket says, “May the odds be ever in your favor.”

What is your next project?
Two projects I recently finished: I have a small role in the upcoming Oliver Stone film, Savages, I play a character named Matt. He’s a California surfer who is dating Magda, daughter of Salma Hayek’s character, who gets hogtied by Aaron Johnson and Taylor Kitch. I originally auditioned for another role that was cut, but Oliver saw my tape, liked it, and wrote me in a role that wasn’t in the book. I was recently offered a role to play a country music star, and I had the opportunity to sing and play guitar, so I did it. That comes out in August. The title is currently being changed, I’ll have to get back to you on that one, but follow me on Twitter @trevdon; I update stuff on there, along with other senseless ramblings. Oh, I also wrote the music to the song I sing in the movie. The production liked the song so much they bought it from me. I had a great time. Future projects — well I don’t want to get ahead of myself but something is in the works. I’ll let you know when — if — it happens.

Yay! I know a lot of you guys stopped watching after Trevor left but since he is making an appearance in the season 4 finale, the renewal could mean appearances and maybe even a regular in season 5! We can only hope!

The CW has made its first scripted pick-ups for the 2012-13 TV season, granting early renewals to Supernatural, The Vampire Diaries and 90210.

The Vampire Diaries will head into its fourth season, 90210 will return for its fifth and Supernatural will be entering its eighth. TVLine’s Renewal Scorecard has thusly been updated.

Still awaiting official word on their fates at The CW are Gossip Girl, Nikita, The Secret Circle, Ringer and Hart of Dixie.

The Supernatural announcement doesn’t come as a huge surprise. Last month, it was reported that showrunner Sera Gamble would be stepping down to focus on development. Although the show had not yet been renewed for Season 8 at that time, a replacement — former co-producer Jeremy Carver — was already named, a good sign that the series would be back. Producer Todd Aronauer added fuel to the fire this Thursday morning by tweeting, then deleting, word of the show’s renewal.

Supernatural‘s current season wraps up on May 18 and features a cliffhanger ending that leaves two fan faves in a very unexpected place. As for what the future holds, Misha Collins shared with TVLine that he’d like to return as angel Castiel.

“I have told [executive producer] Sera [Gamble] that I would love to come back next season if that is something that works out for everybody’s schedule,” he said. “If it’s in the cards, it would be great. I don’t know yet how things are going to play out.”

The CW also has several pilots under consideration for next season’s schedule, including Arrow, Beauty and the Beast (with Smallville’s Kristin Kreuk), First Cut (with The Good Wife‘s Mamie Gummer and Smallville‘s Justin Hartley), The Carrie Diaries and the Hunger Games-esque The Selection.

Though this isn’t 100% official, Hollywoodlife posted an article (then removed it) stating which CW shows were getting renewed. You can bet your bottom dollar (shamless Bad Teacher reference) that 90210 was on that list. I know Trevor’s not a regular on the show anymore but since he is appearing in the season finale this year it could lead to multiple appearances next season. Read the article below!

Fans of The Vampire Diaries, Gossip Girl, 90210, America’s Next Top Model and Supernatural can all rest easy tonight, as The CW announced April 26 that all five series will have a place on the network’s Fall 2012 calendar. Freshman series Hart of Dixie, Ringer and The Secret Circle, as well as sophomore Nikita, are all M.I.A. from the list, sending some fans into full-on panic mode. Their absence from the renewal list doesn’t necessarily mean they won’t be given additional seasons — but it certainly isn’t a hopeful sign.

A new article written at E! Online gives us some more information on the Oliver Stone flick, Savages, that Trevor landed a role in. Read it below! It also mentions the Barbie flick and infers he didn’t get the role…we’ll see.

Trevor Donovan told me at Saturday’s GLAAD Awards that he originally auditioned for a role in the film that was cut before shooting even began.

“But [Stone] liked my audition so much he wrote me a part,” Donovan said.

Really?

“My character isn’t in the book,” he explained. “So there are new scenes that I’m in that weren’t in the book. It’s kind of crazy.”

Based on Don Winslow’s novel of the same name, Savages is a crime thriller about two men (Taylor Kitsch and Albert Nobbs’ Aaron Johnson) whose shared girlfriend (Blake Lively) is kidnapped by a Mexican drug cartel. Rounding out the cast are John Travolta, Uma Thurman, Salma Hayek, Demián Bichir and Benicio Del Toro, among others.

And before you think Donovan is riding some high horse, he’s the first to admit, “It’s a small role.”

Even so, “He’s awesome to work with,” Donovan said of Stone. “He’s crazy, but in the best way.”

And to think Donovan was once the top contender to play Barbie’s beau Ken in a live-action flick based on the iconic dolls.
