Jamie Breaks All Age Barriers
It seems kind of odd that someone just learning her time tables might have the same interests as someone writing a college term paper. Yet the two could both have very well be devoted fans of Jamie Walters. As it turns out, girls seem to love the 25-year-old actor/singer no matter what birthday they're celebrating.
All you have to do is attend one of Jamie's record-store appearances (he's promoting his album, Jamie Walters) or scan his Beverly Hills, 90210 fan mail to realize this is a guy with ageless appeal.
Jamie tells us he gets letters from girls "anywhere from really young, like maybe eight years old, to in their 20s. But the questions they ask me are kind of similar. They wanna know how I got into acting, who my favorite musicians are and do I get along with people on my show."
Jamie also tells us that besides asking the same questions, his fans ask him for the same stuff. "Most people ask for a photograph and autograph," he says.
Answers:
1. Jamie first got involved in acting in his late teens/early 20s, when he was attending New York University and waiting tables part-time. He met some agents, and when they found out Jmaie had taken acting classes and had appeared in some student films, they sent him out on a few auditions. His first break was in an ad for levi's 501s.
2. Jamie's favorite musicians are Neil Young, Van Morrison, John Lee Hooker and Jimi hendrix.
3. Yes, Jamie and the whole 90210 gang get along great. He knew most of them before he landed the role on the show last year, so he's never had that problem of trying to fot in.
