Following in the footsteps of his famous (and very tan) father, George, 34-year-old Ashley Hamilton has signed on as a competitor for
Dancing With the Stars' new season.
Ashley has reality TV in his blood as his father competed on the popular ABC series in 2006, and his mother, Alana Stewart, competed on the 2003 edition of
I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!. More recently, Alana gained respect as the producer and videographer of the acclaimed
Farrah's Story. The handsome 6'4'' Ashley has acted in small films and appeared on the short-lived NBC soap
Sunset Beach but is better known as a figure on the L.A. social scene, having briefly wed actresses Shannen Doherty and Angie Everhart.
ABC's policy is not to comment on casting news prior to their official announcement on
Good Morning America August 17. The new season will kick off a 3-night premiere event on September 21.
