Grant Show Biography

Grant Show broke into show business during college. His first major role was on the daytime soap opera Ryan's Hope in which he played Rick Hyde from 1984–1987. During his last year on the show he received a Daytime Emmy nomination for Outstanding Young Man in a Daytime Drama Series. Also during his time on the soap Show dated fellow Ryan's Hope actor Yasmine Bleeth. Hyped as the series' leading heart-throb he even had a pin-up poster issued during the series' run but later became dissatisfied with acting in soaps and went to London in order to improve his craft. Returning to the US in the late 1980s he landed occasional primetime television acting jobs though feature films proved elusive (although the producers of Thelma and Louise considered him for the role that Brad Pitt played in the film).
Show's appearances on television attracted the attention of producer Aaron Spelling who felt he had star potential and decided to cast him as Jake Hanson on a few episodes of the popular series Beverly Hills 90210 in order to spin off the character as the lead in his next series Melrose Place. Debuting with much fanfare (Show was on the covers of both TV Guide and People immediately after the series' debut) the series' ratings in its first season were not up to expectations and the show was revamped in the middle of the first season from an episodic straight-laced drama format to a melodramatic soap opera serial format in the tradition of Dynasty one of Spelling's earlier hits. The series made Show one of the most popular and best-known actors on American television during the 1990s. He also played Jake in a guest appearance in the pilot of the Melrose spin-off Models Inc. making him the only actor to play the same character on the first three shows in the Beverly Hills 90210 franchise.
