Teen heart throb Tristan Wilds serves "schoolboy realness" in a full page editorial in the brand new VMAN 12. The issue is covered by gay vague Gossip Girls star Chace Crawford and profiles this year's bumper crop of barely legal actors making a splash on the big and small screens. "It's pretty dope to be the first black guy on 90210," the 19-year-old actor says (PDF).
Wilds made his big debut as Michael on The Wire and his character was responsible for snuffing out Snoop. In addition to 90210 you can catch him as Dakota Fanning's love intertest in the wonderful tearjerker The Secret Life of Bees. And of course a little somethin' somethin' for the fashionistas: The editorial was styled by Jessica De Ruiter and photographed by VMan's Adam Whitehead. The shirt is Diesel and the skinny jeans are Reiss. Of course Omarion and Bow Wow would approve . The full page scan is after the jump and, for those who want to read the article, the PDF is here.

And he's a great young actor. He's ok on 90210, just be happy he's there, but he was absolutley heartbreaking on The Wire!
