Life and career

Donovan was born in Bishop, California, and raised in Mammoth Lakes.[3] He had short stints in 2007 on the NBC daytime soap Days of Our Lives as Jeremy Horton. He had a minor role in the 2009 sci-fi film Surrogates, that of the Surrogate form of Tom Greer (Bruce Willis).

In June 2009, Donovan landed a recurring role on 90210 as Teddy Montgomery,[4] first appearing on September 8, 2009.[5] On May 20, 2010, The CW announced that he was upgraded to series regular.[6] It was later reported that his character would come out as gay in the third season, which premiered on September 13, 2010.[7]

In July 2011, it was reported that Donovan had been signed for a role in Oliver Stone's film Savages, released in July 2012.[8] He had originally screen-tested for a character who was edited out, but after seeing Donovan's screen-test video recording, Stone wrote a part for him that was not in the original book.[9] After 90210 ended, Donovan landed a recurring role in the third season of Melissa & Joey, a situation comedy that starred Melissa Joan Hart and Joey Lawrence as the title characters.[10]

On September 8, 2022, Donovan was announced as a contestant on season 31 of Dancing with the Stars. He is partnered with Emma Slater.[11]
