David Gail
, the actor who gained international fame in the '90s when he played

Shannen Doherty

Beverly Hills, 90210

of causes that remain unrevealed.
In golden times for television, Beverly Hills 92010 - which focused on the luxury neighborhood of California, residence of Hollywood celebrities - applied a traditional tone and
did not avoid controversial themes
for the genre, such as rape, alcoholism, drugs , youth suicides and unwanted pregnancies.
But Gail had another success in her time in the world of soap operas, playing Dr. Joe Sanlon in
Port Charles
, a
spin off
of the established
General Hospital
.
He also had appearances in episodes of
ER Emergencies, Savannah and JAG
and ventured into film, with the pochoclera Bending all the rules, in which he shared a casting with a young and promising Bradley Cooper.
And with the suspense or catastrophe film Two Came Back, starring
Melisa Joan Hart
.
In 2019, Gail had ventured into another field, appearing in the credits of the video game Blacksad: Under the Skin.

beautiful, loving, incredible, fierce
human being."

The phenomenon of the series Beverly Hills 90210
Gail was part of Beverly Hills, 90210, one of the most successful and adolescent-themed series, which
was almost founding for a subgenre
in itself that would be replicated with heirs such as Party of Five or Dawson's Creek and, further back in time, Glee or Pretty Little Liars.
Beverly Hills 90210, the teenage series that marked a decade and a genre.
And it would even establish itself in the world as a category, with cases such as the
factory that Cris Morena reproduced
for the national teen strips or in the recent
Spanish success Elite
, from the streaming giant Netflix and even darker than its predecessors in the field. .
The series about the not-rich kids from the millionaire Californian neighborhood - with mutations in its casting -
literally marked the decade: it started in October 1990 and ended in May 2000
, in prime time on the Fox network.
Always under the tutelage of producer
Aaron Spelling
, who made his daughter Tori his fetish actress who remained in all the seasons of the series that made
the zip code
of millionaire California known worldwide.
