Booked, busy, and blessed. Things have really been taking off since I moved to LA! Riding this wave and keeping my head above water. 🌊

Shooting these NewDay USA commercials out here in San Francisco has been such a cool experience! A big cast and crew, multiple shoot days, and yet another beautiful location with rolling hills everywhere.

Yesterday, I got some really great news: I booked another national print campaign for a major company! That’ll take me straight back to the East Coast as soon as this project wraps, so I’ll be out there all next week.

I also got a call offering me another villain role in a vertical, but both projects shoot at the same time, so I had to turn it down. I wish I could do everything, but that’s a good problem to have! Feeling grateful for these opportunities and excited to keep going! 🙌🏼🎬

When Rick Bay has a character-driven editorial concept in mind and wants you to model it, you show up ready to perform!

To me, modeling is very much like acting. You gotta tell a story through the wardrobe, the location, and the emotion you bring to life in front of the camera.

And just so you in know, I don’t smoke, and I wasn’t actually smoking for these shots but it was a prop that helped bring this character to life, and I was on board with the vision.

He was thinking Reservoir Dogs, and I think we pulled it off! There’s plenty more to share, and I’ll get to that soon enough.

be honest, which one would you ignore? 🚩

Today I’m heading back to L.A. for a quick stop at home to prep and pack before getting right back on a plane early tomorrow morning! Next stop: San Francisco for a week shooting a commercial!

I had such a great time in Reno, Nevada, filming this amazing period piece with an incredible cast and crew. What an honor to play the lead and bring such an enjoyable character to life. I cannot wait to see this film come together! 🎬✈️

Thanks @eristalentagency
And thanks @michaeljosephnelson for helping me snap these photos with my equipment!

THE BIKERS ARE BACK, BABY.

One of my all-time favorite verticals is Jekyll & Hyde, so anytime somebody gives me another motorcycle-club romance, I am already leaning in. And Ride Till We Die absolutely understood the assignment.

First of all: this cast. @kiley.nicole.pearson as Lizzy is such a perfect fit. She’s the small-town schoolteacher everyone has already decided they understand: good, responsible, respectable, slightly anxious, very much expected to stay inside the lines. But Lizzy doesn’t want to become “bad.” She just wants some control over her own life. She wants her world to get bigger. And then Rafael rides into it.

@jacksontiller__ as Rafael has the motorcycle gang edge. He can absolutely step up when something goes sideways. But underneath all of that? He’s thoughtful. Protective. Surprisingly careful with Lizzy. He knows the life around him is dangerous, and instead of using that danger to pull her closer, he actually tries to push her away from it. Green flag biker? Apparently that’s my genre now.

Of course, this IS Vertical Landia, so before we get too responsible about any of this: Rafael also meets the sweet schoolteacher in the sundress and basically KISSES HER. Immediately. Sir. Carry on.

And what I really loved is that their relationship never needed some giant manufactured breakup to keep moving. They like each other. They’re drawn to each other. And slowly you realize they’re both trapped, just in completely different ways. Lizzy is boxed in by her town, her family and everyone’s expectations of who she’s supposed to be. Rafael is boxed in by a life he never actually chose. Without spoiling where it goes, they give each other a little freedom.

Meanwhile, the plot wastes NO TIME getting messy. Rival clubs. Murder. Betrayal. A dirty cop. An entire town deciding Lizzy is suddenly unfit to teach children because she’s been seen with bikers. And honestly? Some of their concerns are not entirely irrational because PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY DYING (poor @jasonscaceres). But I loved how quickly this story dove into its wo
