Trevor Donovan photographed by Manfred Baumann for Fitness Gear

Trevor Donovan has been a favorite here on TheBacklot ever since he played adorable (and sexy) Teddy Montgomery on the 2008-2013 reboot of 90210. Since then he's made appearances on various series like The Client List and Melissa & Joey, but this weekend he heads west along with Bill Paxton, Ray Liotta and Brendan Fraser for the History Channel's much-anticipated Texas Rising. The mini-series is directed by two-time Oscar-nominated director Roland Joffé (The Killing Fields, The Mission) and Donovan plays “Kit Acklin” a "wise-ass and expert horseman whose chivalry and equestrian skills are matched only by his gun-fighting prowess."

Texas Rising premieres this Memorial Day (Monday, May 25th) but while we're waiting for cowboy Donovan, these images from photographer Manfred Baumann for Fitness Gear can certainly keep us occupied.

And bonus at the very end-- video of Donovan showing The Insider how to work a six-gun like a rootin' tootin' ranger.

Enjoy!
