TJ Wilk
ACTOR
How did you come across Vertical Dramas?.
I found their leading man casting calls on actors access on my own once I felt officially ready to audition while taking acting classes.
What is your favourite project you have worked on so far?
Id say my most recent vertical I filmed in China, playing the lead role who was a billionaire.
What is the craziest thing you have found yourself doing while working on a vertical?
Doing a front flip over my Corvette during an action scene chasing villians who tried to kill my love interest in "Her Desired Alphas".
Any funny stories you can share with us?
During the making of "Alpha In A Coma", I literally fell into a deep sleep on the bed scenes AND the scene where I was laying as if I was in a coma on a rock lol 😂🤦🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
Who is your unsung hero? Someone in the industry who should get more credit?
As popular as Tom Cruise has been for nearly 5 decades now, it's AMAZING & frustrating to me he hasn't won a single Oscar Award!
What do you wish more people knew about verticals?
They are professionally produced using top-quality film equipment & are already replacing popular network TV soap operas here in America.
What developments would you like to see in the industry in the year ahead?
For me personally, I'd love for our work to expand on other major platforms outside the vertical apps. More specifically, Netflix, Amazon Prime, HULU, MAX, TUBI & others.
What are you most proud of?
I'm most proud that I can declare right now that I literally am successfully working at my dream job, (a leading man actor in movies) while living in my dream city (Beverly Hills) while driving my dream car (Corvette) & sharing my life with my dream girl (Arina Manta - ig: @arinamanta). I'm literally living my best life, even after having a very successful career as a fashion model who's worked with Tom Cruise, Elizabeth Taylor, Janice Dickinson & did huge fashion campaigns, worked with the best & most famous fashion photographers, was on bilboards in Times Square, Sunset Blvd., on the covers of famous fashion magazines, on a hugely popular TV show about the modeling industry, being a special celebrity guest on popular talk shows... But right now & after all that experience, I'm living my very best life RIGHT NOW & it's going to get better & better ☺️🙏🙏🙏
Which vertical actor would you like to play you in the biopic of your life?
Honestly, the only person who play me well is me. Im just very unique 😬🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
