In the spring of 2023, my agent secured a self-tape audition for Nationwide Insurance. My instructions were to record myself telling a story, reading, and listening. Sometimes, that’s all there is to it. I booked the job and flew to Columbus for a two-day photo shoot over my birthday. They put me up in a hotel and I discovered the Hofbrauhaus beer garden.
I enjoy these lifestyle-type modeling jobs. They’re low-stress and I enjoy meeting the other models and working with the creative crew. Thanks, as always, to Heyman Talent and agent Kenny Packer for securing the gig!

That’s a wrap!
*Many times when hired for a shoot, an actor is not allowed to publicly share the details. This is to protect the marketing plans of the project and to guard the producers’ right to control the way in which their story is first presented. Usually, the restrictions expire after the media is released to the public. This post is shared with permission.
