Brian Austin Green recalled his employment before the fame from 90210 by being fired on a sitcom.

The 52-year-old retrospectively recalled early job days, that eluded him — the one that was everything.

In an interview with the podcast Pod Meets World, the American actor has revealed that he was fired after only one episode in the sitcom My Two Dads.

"We had been rehearsing, and then we did a run-through, and I had a scene sitting at a table with Staci Keanan, who was on that show."

Continuing, "there was somebody else and I was really new to sitcoms and I just didn’t completely understand the timing of it and … they were like, ‘We’re going to have to recast.’"

Moreover, he declared that his concern was payment, "I was so young, I was like, ‘OK, I still get paid for this day, right?’ That’s all I really cared about at that point."

Dancing with the Stars artist was not all so when in 1990 he was cast as David Silver in Beverly Hills, 90210, a series that changed his life.

The back nine episodes were picked by Fox only because it had nothing more to air, "didn’t have anything else to put on in its place during that time" Green remembered. 

Summer episodes were to the rescue of producer Aaron Spelling. Green stated that when the other shows had to be rerun, this show was still on with some original episodes. 

"It was during that first summer in 1991. I clearly remember being at a gas station, and there was a carload of young girls whose parents were filling up the car."

"The girls were like, ‘Oh my God, are you on that show?’ And I was thinking, ‘Holy s***, you’ve seen the show?!’" Green recollected.
