Green played Derek Reese in Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, a Resistance fighter sent to the past by the future John Connor. The character is the older brother of Kyle Reese (John Connor's father) and paternal uncle of John. Green was a recurring character in season 1 but became a regular at the start of season 2,[6] following a positive response from critics and fans.[7][8] His character is killed by a Terminator in the penultimate episode, but another Derek from an alternate timeline is introduced in the series finale and would have remained on the show if it had been renewed for a third season.[9]
Green in 2008
Green guest-starred on the season 7 finale of CSI: Miami as Anthony Green.[10] Green was cast in The CW's new drama pilot Body Politic, along with Minka Kelly, Gabrielle Union, and Jason Dohring.[11] The series was not picked up for fall 2009. Green said in an interview that he was co-producing a big screen adaptation of Fathom, starring Megan Fox.[9] On September 27, 2009, Green made a guest appearance on the television series Saturday Night Live in a skit involving girlfriend (later his wife) Megan Fox. In the skit Green played a version of the Transformer Bumblebee in which Bumblebee is merely a man wearing a Bumblebee mask. Green was cast as Clay in One Tree Hill's seventh season. Green then left the cast because of scheduling conflicts and the role was then given to Robert Buckley; Green instead starred as superhero Callan in the Patrick Durham-directed movie Cross, which was released to DVD and download in May 2011.
In 2009, Green was cast as Metallo in Smallville.[12] He appeared in three episodes in the ninth season between 2009 and 2010, the first being the ninth-season premiere episode "Savior". The character is a war-time reporter, similar to the Silver Age John Corben.[12] As a back-story for this version, he had been recently stationed in Afghanistan. When he meets Lois Lane, he expresses his distaste for vigilantes, particularly "the Blur" (Clark Kent) due to the hero saving a prison bus only for a convict to escape and slay his sister. After being struck in a hit and run, Corben awoke to find himself possessing cybernetic enhancements - including an artificial heart powered by kryptonite. After kidnapping Lois Lane as bait, the villain was confronted and defeated by Clark Kent. It was subsequently revealed in the episode "Conspiracy" that Zod's disciples were behind Corben's revival. Corben is "reactivated" in the episode "Upgrade" after Luthorcorp scientists are able to correct the initial design flaw in the Kryptonite heart that causes an adrenal overload and resulting psychosis. Though Green had expressed willingness to reprise the character in the 10th and final season,[13] the character was portrayed by a body double for his final appearance in the episode "Prophecy" - presumably due to budget and the cameo nature of the appearance. Green's likeness would be used however for the character's appearance in the Season Eleven comic continuation.[14]
In 2010, Green appeared in a multi-episode story arc on the ABC series Desperate Housewives. He played Keith Watson, Bree's contractor and lover for the first part of the season.[15][16]
In 2012, Green had a guest appearance in the sitcomAnger Management playing Sean, the boyfriend of Charlie's ex-wife, Jen in the first episode of the show. This episode broke a ratings record with 5.74 million viewers on its series debut night and ranks as the most-watched sitcom premiere in cable history.[17][18] He returned to the show in the episode "Charlie Breaks Up With Kate", and was promoted to series regular in June 2013.[19]
Green was a guest star in the finale episode of the second season of Happy Endings. He played Chris, who meets dateless Penny via Skype. He returned in the third-season premiere "Cazsh Dummy Spillionaires". In the same year, Green starred in the television series Wedding Band, about a group of friends who perform at weddings. In the TBS comedy, Green plays Tommy, the frontman for Mother of the Bride, a group of four buddies who aren't ready to give up the dream of being rock stars.[20] On January 22, 2013, TBS cancelled the series after one season because of low ratings.[21]
In September 2021, Green was announced as one of the celebrities competing on season 30 of Dancing with the Stars.[24] Green's dance partner was his girlfriend, Sharna Burgess. He was the third celebrity to be eliminated from the show, ultimately placing 13th.[25]
In April 2017, Green created a podcast titled With Brian Austin Green.[27][28] The show went on indefinite hiatus in 2022, with Green signing an exclusive deal with iHeart Radio to start a new podcast Old-ish in 2023 alongside Burgess and Randy Spelling.[29]

In 1999, Green started dating his Beverly Hills, 90210 castmate Vanessa Marcil, whom he met on set. The two became engaged in July 2001 and had a son born in 2002. They planned to wed that year, but ended their relationship in 2003.[33][34]
In 2004, Green began dating actress Megan Fox, having first met on the set of Hope & Faith when he was 30 years old and she was 18.[35] Fox said Green was initially hesitant to enter a relationship with her due to the age difference. Fox said, "I had to convince him that I was slightly more responsible and well-spoken and had other things to bring to the table besides being 18."[36] They became engaged in 2006 but broke off their engagement in February 2009. Later that year, their home was targeted by a group of fashion-motivated criminals known as "The Bling Ring", who initially targeted them to steal Fox's designer clothes.
In June 2010, Green and Fox announced they were engaged again,[37] and several days later on June 24, the two wed at the Four Seasons resort on the island of Hawaii.[38] They have three sons together, born in 2012,[39] 2014,[40] and 2016.[41] Fox filed for divorce from Green on August 21, 2015, a few days after the couple announced their separation.[42][43] They reconciled in early 2016.[44] On April 25, 2019, Fox filed to dismiss the divorce in Los Angeles, California.[45] In May 2020, Green announced that he and Fox had separated after nearly 10 years of marriage.[46] In November 2020, Fox filed for divorce from Green for a second time.[47] They finalized their divorce on October 15, 2021.[48]

Through his podcast, Green organized a charity event to benefit the organization on September 1, 2018.[56] A second charity event took place on August 31, 2019 - and was attended by many of Green's former Beverly Hills, 90210 co-stars.[57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64]
In 2021, Green and girlfriend Sharna Burgess took part in the Search4Smiles campaign supporting the Trueheart Search Engine, which donates 80% of their profits to charity.[65][66]
Paparazzi lawsuit
In March 2012, photographer Delbert Shaw sued Green and ex-wife Fox in Los Angeles County Superior Court for allegedly assaulting him after he took photographs of the couple while Green and Fox were vacationing in Hawaii in 2010.[67] In June 2012, Green said he was defending himself against Shaw and that Fox should not be included in the lawsuit.[68]
