Dan Hunt is a model. At 21 he's been working in the industry for two years and as is true with any segment of the entertainment industry you need not only talent, but discipline and dedication. Dan has all three.
Dan came to me for two reasons. In the last few months he's really focused on developing his body to branch into the fitness modeling market. He's managed to drop nearly thirty pounds and he barely looks like his old shots. While actors try to get by, particularly in non-Equity theater, with headshots that are a few years old, outdated comp cards are death for a model. Second, like any ambitious model, he's starting to branch out into commercial on-camera work.
When you talk to Dan, it's almost like a hit parade of Hollywood's leading men. At times he's a cheerier Sean Penn. Other times, he reads like a younger Orlando Bloom, and still others he could be Al Pacino. He speaks intelligently and knowlegeably about the Chicago modeling market and unlike a lot of actors and models I've worked with, he has a very clear understanding of his strengths and how to utilize them. We worked together for a little more than three hours and from our shoot Dan found eight shots that he liked and will be using in the next year. Check out the Archetype website to see some of the other shots.
