Jeff Lawless
ACTOR
How did you come across Vertical Dramas?.
I auditioned just like any other project, but when I got to set, I saw the camera was tilted on it’s side!
What is your favourite project you have worked on so far?
So many! ‘Lucifer, My Boyfriend from Hell’ was my first Vertical, so it has a special place in my heart. However, I live by the mantra “the best is yet to come”
What is the craziest thing you have found yourself doing while working on a vertical?
Sensually licking the hole of a bagel (if you know, you know)
Any funny stories you can share with us?
My character had to pee his pants in fear during a scene! I got to improv a little and when my scene partner said “let’s go”, my character said “wait, I’m still going!”
Who is your unsung hero? Someone in the industry who should get more credit?
All of the producers that push for diversity in the Vertical space!
What do you wish more people knew about verticals?
Verticals have so many genre’s and styles, not just the slapstick romance stories that people categorize them as
What developments would you like to see in the industry in the year ahead?
More diversity in leading characters!
What are you most proud of?
Like I mentioned previously, I live by the mantra “the best is yet to come.” There have been so many hills and valleys in life that each moment has value. In the vertical space, it has been an uphill battle. Diversity hasn’t always been welcome in the rooms I’ve tried to get my foot into, so therefore I am incredibly thankful to have had the opportunities that I have had thus far!
Which vertical actor would you like to play you in the biopic of your life?
One of the horses in the farm verticals! (Or Adam Chisnall)
