#33: Daniel Cosgrove as Matt Durning
By the time Daniel Cosgrove joined Beverly Hills, 90210 as Matt Durning, the show had evolved into a more adult world — and Matt fit right in. A lawyer with heart and principles, he became Brandon’s friend and Kelly’s love interest, offering a steadier, more grounded energy amid all the familiar chaos.

Cosgrove played Matt as a man trying to hold it together in a city that constantly tested him. He wasn’t flashy or overly dramatic; instead, he carried a quiet empathy that made his character feel refreshingly real. He was, in many ways, the last of 90210’s “good guys.”
