Luke Perry: Absolutely 'No' to '90210'

Luke Perry: Absolutely 'No' to '90210'

Despite the fact that it was just revealed that Dylan (Luke Perry) is the father of Kelly's (Jennie Garth) baby on "90210," don't expect Luke to be revisiting his old zip code any time soon.

In an interview about his upcoming guest starring role on this season's "Law & Order: SVU" premiere episode, when asked if he would turn up on The CW series any time soon, he states unequivocally, "That would be a no."

That isn't to say that he doesn't have fond memories of his time on "Beverly Hills, 90210." And recent events have caused him to take time to think about the series that brought him to fame.

"What I have determined is that stuff doesn't happen by accident," he says. "We put a lot of hard work into it and so did the writers and directors. When shows take off and become a part of the American psyche like that, there is a time when it is happening that you are resentful, because you had no idea it could get that big. But when you stop and look at the whole picture of your life, from that perspective, I am very proud of it. It was fun. It gives you a neat relationship to the American public. It puts you on a closer basis with all kinds of people; the world could use a little more of that."

These days Luke says before he takes a role, he wants to make sure it is absolutely different than anything else he has played before, and it has to be on a show that knows what they are doing, which "L&O" certainly does as it enters its 10th season on the air.

"I haven't done a lot of guesting," he points out. "It is hard to do it because you are the new person in the room. A show like ["Law & Order"] where everyone is secure in themselves and their craft, they give you a lot of room to move. They also took really good care of me."

"Law & Order: SVU" returns to NBC with all-new episodes on September 23 at 10 p.m.
