Name: Dixon Wilson (Tristan Wilds)
Where you've seen him: As street-smart Michael on HBO's The Wire
In this zip he'll be... The Wilsons' adopted son from the wrong side of the tracks who fills Brandon's shoes by working at The Pit (formerly the Peach Pit). The West Beverly students immediately love Dixon...but no one more so than bad girl Erin Silver. ''He's a popular kid, a cool kid, a kind of mischievous kid, and a bit of a ladies' man,'' says Wilds. ''There will be lots of twists and turns with Dixon. I promise you that.''
