Members of the cast Beverly Hills, 90210 remember their late colleague.

Brian Austin Green, Tori Spelling and Jenny Hart shared respect for the deceased Joe E. Tatawho played Nat on the Fox series after his death on August 24.

Tori shared on August 25th heartfelt message on Instagram in honor of Joe, whom she considered “one of the kindest, funniest, most professional, amazing people I’ve ever had the pleasure to work with and more importantly be friends with in my entire life.”

Tori went on to say that Joe reminded her of her father, Aaron Spelling, because they “were very similar.” She recalled how character Joe Nutt walked Tori’s character Donna down the aisle during the series, and Tori said she “wouldn’t have it any other way”.

“I asked our writers to have Nat walk Donna down the aisle,” she wrote. “It meant a lot to me. In personal and professional terms. Given our close friendship in real life and the fact that he was a fun, caring, loyal and protective male role model for me, it was as it should be.”
