Matt Lanter's 90210 character Liam has been a deep sea fisherman, a mechanic, a personal assistant and a denim-selling piece of meat.
Now, in season four, Matt reveals that his character will be returning to one of these trades, albeit in a slightly more "Hollywood" way.
"Liam starts doing some modeling this season," Matt told me at The CW Premiere Party. "I don't think it'll be in windows again," he joked of Liam's last shirtless job (which you can relive on the left), "but he starts to experience a bit of fame as a result of the modeling. And he starts to earn some serious money too."
But as anyone who tuned into last week's season premiere knows, Liam already has some serious money. Or, had, rather, as he dropped $25 K on a beachside bar. Turns out, the source of the cash might not have been as simple as he made it out to be. "Some stuff happened over the summer that he's been hiding from everyone but in true 90210 style, it all comes out ... eventually," Matt said, before teasing, "It involves a death and there's a lot drama that goes along with it. Which affects his relationship with Annie, big time."

Now that they've all graduated from high school, the 90210 crew has to learn how to live in the real world. And rich or poor, it's not going to be as easy as they think.
But luckily for Liam Court, the blue-eyed hunk from the wrong side of the tracks, a surprise windfall could turn his whole world around. Wetpaint Entertainment got the scoop on Liam's stroke of good luck from 90210 star Matt Lanter at the VH1 Do Something Awards.
"Liam is going to come into a little bit of money, which is interesting for him," Matt told us in an exclusive interview.
While he wouldn't reveal as to whether or not the financial boost means Liam will abandon his plans of hitting the high seas to work on deep-sea fishing boat, Matt explained that it does have a huge ripple effect on the show.
"It's going to change his life because there's a big purchase that is made," he teased. "It's going to affect him, it's going to affect the other characters and will set up a new branch to explore."
The 28-year-old actor, who is best known for playing high-school kids, said he is excited about the sudden influx of cash, even if it's his character's and not his own!
"It's fun because Liam has always been down and out and never gets a break, so this is great that he finally has some good luck," he explained. "It's a new endeavor for him and it's going to be exciting. He's not quite living the high life but we'll see how it goes."
Of course, life always has its challenges — even in Beverly Hills — and, unfortunately, Liam's love life isn't going to be as fruitful as his finances this season.
"The romance is on the rocks with Annie," Matt revealed. "He comes back [from the boat] and you think things are good and then it turns out to be not so good. Decisions were made over the summer with both of the characters — I don't know where it's all headed."
