Over the next few weeks, we’ll be introducing the phenomenal cast of Chasing Adonis — the faces behind the film.

First up: Danny Mahoney, who plays Rex — a charismatic fitness influencer whose glossy image masks something darker.

Feast your eyes 👀 and get to know our lovely actors for the @compasscollect fundraiser a little bit better! We are so excited for tomorrow, the actors have their casting and script and @_katie_jax is deep into text work.
This year, the theme of #refugeeweek is "Community as a Superpower".

With our actors joining from North Carolina to Northern Italy and everywhere in between, this group represents Community as a Superpower across distance.
We are celebrating love, friendship and connections that reach across oceans;
if we can love our own from afar then we can love those from afar as our own.

And, as always mooselets, you can donate to the fundraiser through the link in our bio.
