Dr. 90210 Restrains Passenger on Flight

May 23rd, 2006 | By Jared Blank

Dr. Robert Rey, the star of Dr. 90210 on E!, helped to restrain an unruly passenger on an American Airlines flight from Austin to Los Angeles. If you’ve ever seen the show (which, despite my best efforts, I have), he’s the guy who does martial arts. You’ll know this because in the article I’ve linked to, he says:

When you get a black belt, at that stage your brain just clicks
into action…I restrained this gentleman in a very
aggressive way without hurting him.

For some reason, I get the impression that he’ll mention his black belt with little prompting.

The plane landed without further incident.

how do you leave out that the guy he restrained was 80 years old? that’s the best part.
