Sharknado Star Ian Ziering Gets Attacked by Mini-Bike Gang

Ian Ziering, an actor known for his work on Beverly Hills, 90210 and the Sharknado series of films, was recently involved in an altercation with a mini-bike gang in Los Angeles. A new report from TMZ outlines the details surrounding the incident, which occurred on Sunday, December 31, 2023 in Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles. In video obtained by the outlet, Ziering appears to get out of his car and confront one of the bikers, who were reportedly weaving in and out of traffic and may have collided with his vehicle. A fight ensues between Ziering and several other bikers, before the actor gets back into his car and leaves the scene.

According to TMZ’s reporting, Ziering’s twelve-year-old daughter Mia was riding with him in the car. An official report has reportedly been filed with law enforcement, listing Ziering as the victim. That being said, the investigation is apparently still ongoing, and no arrests have been made.

Will Swamp Thing Get a Season 2?

One of Ziering’s most recent roles, which was met with a lot of acclaim from fans, was as actor-turned-antihero Blue Devil in DC Universe’s Swamp Thing. The series was surprisingly canceled after one season, but has since been re-aired on The CW and found a home on a number of streaming services. Even though the DC Universe’s output is set to change dramatically under James Gunn and Peter Safran, including a Swamp Thing movie directed by James Mangold, Ziering has previously expressed a desire to see the series return.

“I was reliving my youth, and the fun of the 8-year-old inside of me getting to play the Blue Devil, working with Derek Mears and Crystal Reed, and all the people on that show,” Ziering explained in a 2019 interview. “James Wan… it was such an unbelievable show. It’s very sad that that ended with 10 episodes, unfinished. I know they had plans for so many.”

Will There Be a Sharknado 7?

Another role of Ziering’s that has taken on a life of its own is as Fin Shepard in Sharknado, the surprise hit franchise of films from the SYFY network. The saga came to a close with 2018’s The Last Sharknado: It’s About Time, and there have been no plans to revive it in any way. The first Sharknado film in the saga did get a theatrical release in the summer of 2023, in order to celebrate its tenth anniversary.

“It’s the 10-year anniversary and Sharknado and the creators are bringing on the celebration,” the official announcement for the re-release read. “The Asylum and Rubey Entertainment present a special theatrical release of Sharknado: The 10th-Anniversary Edition, featuring an all-new remastered version with never-before-seen kills and thrills! Fans can catch the newly restored iconic moments from one of cinema’s greatest cult classics for two nights only on in select movie theatres nationwide.
