LOS ANGELES, July 31 (UPI) -- Luke Perry isn't looking forward to Lifetime's upcoming 90210 tell-all movie. In fact, the show, in which he played bad-boy Dylan McKay, is as irrelevant to him as "third grade."

At the Television Critics Association's summer press tour this week, the 48-year-old actor dismissed questions about the '90s hit show that made him and other actors like Jennie Garth, Tori Spelling, Shannen Doherty, Ian Ziering, and Jason Priestley famous.

"I don't think about it," Perry said when a reporter asked him about his thoughts on Lifetime's tell-all, scheduled to air Oct. 3.

When another reporter asked why the unauthorized film doesn't matter to him, Perry replied, "Third grade -- how much does that matter to you? Exactly. It's just not relevant to anything I'm doing. Next question?"

The actor was reportedly present at the TCA press conference to back the Up TV movie Welcome Home and new series Ties That Bind.
