My father was head of the OAAA for a while. That's the trade group for the Billboard industry, which was having it's annual meeting in Manhattan on 911 btw.
There are a couple options here. One, is that the ad was made that way to create intrigue, make people Google him or an old episode for nostalgia. Second possibility is that it was an editing mistake, that went to the printer, and was assumed by printer to be option one, ran and put up by installers who also thought it was done purposefully.

Maybe he dies of a stroke in the New 90210 and the billboards play into the story line. Oh wait, he wasn't cast.

Maybe it will be like Big Chill and Luke will be Kevin Costner and they are all at a funeral.

He was working on the series he's on. But they said he planned to do some guest spots show on the new show as time allowed him. As well as Shannon D. The hissy crew black balled Tiffany Amber Thiessen however...

Strange! I have never seen an actor memorialized like that before no matter how popular they were.

I think it may be to promote 90210 comeback

Nah it was one of those digital billboards that changes the ad every 15-30 seconds. I was exiting the interstate when I saw it the second time, by the time I would have gotten the phone out to snap a pic, it would have changed to the next ad.

Also, it was a black and white picture of him in a grey t-shirt leaned against a wall with one knee bent. I've seen that publicity picture of him many times in teen magazines from the early 90s but wouldn't you know it that I can't find that popular picture online anywhere now.

OMG. I finally found that shit! New Mexico news station posted the pic...like who DOES this and why didn't they send out a corrected billboard? Aren't these things on wifi connections? Its like a big arse TV on the side of the road!

Yeah, that’s the same one I saw up here in Chicago.
