90s heartthrob who dated Drew Barrymore before ditching fame to save lives makes rare outing... can you guess who?

A 90s heartthrob who starred on Beverly Hills, 90210, but is now saving lives, was spotted during a rare sighting.

Now 56, this actor was in his early 20s when he played Ray Pruit, Donna Martin's abusive boyfriend. 

Two years before he landed that role, he was serenading his way on the small screen in the musical drama show The Heights.

This Hollywood hunk even made showbiz legend Drew Barrymore swoon; they were engaged for two years. 

He has since traded the red carpet for a private life out of the spotlight as a firefighter-paramedic. Last week, he was spotted organizing his equipment at his place in Los Angeles County. 

Can you guess who this former actor is?

If you guessed Jamie Walters, you are correct!

Walters played Pruit, a quiet carpenter and aspiring musician who won the heart of Tori Spelling's Donna Martin before eventually becoming abusive towards her.

Now a single father of four, Walter has since walked away from Hollywood to make a difference in the lives of others.

For the past 21 years, he has been serving the city of Los Angeles as a firefighter-paramedic.

'I was an actor on Beverly Hills, 90210, some other series, The Heights, had a song called How Do You Talk To An Angel, and [I am] currently [a] firefighter paramedic with the Los Angeles Fire Department. Been with this organization for 20 years,' he told The Sun last year.

Before landing his big role on 90210, Walters starred in the ill-fated series The Heights, a musical drama where he got to showcase his singing abilities.

Walters sang the show's theme song, How Do You Talk to an Angel, which reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100.

'I had a great time working on 90210, great cast mates, really fun time in my life in my 20s, being in Hollywood, having a fantastic adventure, and it actually led me to the fire department, where I've been for 20 years,' he said.

Walters would go on to play himself in 2019's BH90210, the comedy series that saw the cast play heightened versions of themselves as they rebooted their original series.

Walters played Ray for 40 episodes on the show and was 'bummed' to learn his character would end up becoming abusive towards Donna.

However, he is happy to be part of a discussion that raises awareness towards domestic violence.  

'I was like, "Ah man, I don't think this is going to work out so good,"' he recalled. 'And it didn't. I was bummed, I didn't want to see Ray turn that way, but I think they were trying to bring up some important messages about domestic violence and get people talking about that.

'So if I could have any input on that, get people talking about it, that was good.'

The actor was also engaged to Drew Barrymore, an ex he clearly thinks highly of despite their split.

'We ended up living together and were engaged for a little while. That was a fun time in my life. She was great, we had a great relationship together,' he told The Sun.

Even Barrymore seems to harbor no hard feelings against her ex. 

'Oh my god, Jamie Walters! My boyfriend at the time,' Barrymore recalled on her talk show in 2023 during an interview with Tori Spelling and Jennie Garth. 'I totally dated Jamie Walters. I was engaged to him.'

'I loved working with him. He was such a good guy,' Spelling said.

'He still is,' Garth said.
