I forgot he was a model pre-acting. Now that Schitt$ Creek is over, I expect we'll see more of him again. Just wondering if anyone else thinks the now "scrubbed" model profile of "Duncan Million" was him during leaner years? Attached is one photo of Dustin Milligan as "Ted" and 2 photos model "Duncan MIllion."

ADAM MILLER

Adam Miller was the undefeated State wrestling champ at Central Michigan University when he was discovered by Bruce Weber for A&F.

Back then, he had dark auburn hair that evolved into a strawberry blonde. He also evolved from a wrestler to a fitness model to a fashion and fitness model

before becoming an actor. He's a talented, handsome, funny guy who scored a great role on the NBC TV series, "Crisis." 

The pandemic upended that series but Adam will be back. He really can't be defeated.

ROB BENSON

Rob Benson was a Texas football player who became an Abercrombie cover boy and fitness model. He appeared on Undergear covers, too.

I sometimes confuse Todd Farr and Rob Benson and apologize if I've done it again. Both are blonde Texas guys from the same era with infectious smiles.

JAY VOCKLER

Jay Vockler was another Texas model to join the Abercrombie & Fitch corral. He had a great smile.

Vockler shot some national catalog work with IM/Undergear and some regional Westernwear shoots if I recall correctly. 

ALEC MUSSER

Alec Musser was an A&F model who became a popular fitness model and IM/Undergear model before becoming an actor on All My Children.

LEVI POULTER

Levi Poulter was raised in Utah and moved to Miami to become a professional model.

He registered with an agent and was almost immediately signed with A&F. He has been featured in national and international media –

and in art and books and memorable editorials. I love his work by Miami photographer, David Vance,

but it is hard to find a bad image of Levi anywhere. Even his brief flirtation with porn was elegantly executed.

BAILEY GLANDT

Bailey Glandt went to Texas Christian University in Fort Worth where he was discovered by Bruce Weber and became a face of "A&F" in 2009. 

JESSE ROBERTS

Jesse was incredibly grounded considering he was  plastered on giant banners and billboards, bags and the Quarterly.

From small town to NYC and back, he found himself in national and global media. Cosmo. Tetu. Fitness mags. Fashion mags and endless retail websites.

It is hard to feel or act normal in the shadow of posters of yourself (where your left pec is larger than you are)

and people on the streets are carrying bags with your torso on them. But Jesse found a balance.

BRETT GIBBS

 

I love this thread! Thank you MauiKane! Brett Gibbs was a A&F Quarterly Cover Model as well as an A&F "Bag Boy." He was also half of a duo with Josh Saunders in a magnificent photo essay by Hudson Wright.

Alex Santaniello for Ron Chereskin Underwear.

Some more favorite shots of the extraordinary Aruban model, Alex Geerman.

Great images by Tarrice Love, Sally Williams, Kevin McDermott and others.

he's such a great model and it's so sad how underrated he really is.

Agreed. Attached is more proof.

Aitor Mateo is a perfect blend of fashion and fitness model in one perfect Spanish package. Active since 2006.

Love the "Boys of Miami" editorial with Aitor in front of my old Brickell office building. 

Adam Miller returned

back to his darker auburn hair for the

 October 2014 Male Model Scene,

then as an actor.

He could become very interesting in a few years...

Adam Miller did become very interesting! As a college wrestler, he was discovered by Bruce Weber/A&F. It looks like wrestling probably contributed to a nose injury which gave him a distinctive look earlier in his career. After some subtle corrective work, Adam did a couple of great, new portfolio shoots with top photographers to showcase his new look. His dark auburn hair went strawberry blonde, his freckled skin went fairer and his nose became a little less prominent. Miller emerged more polished – and more broadly marketable. Gorgeous shoots by Rick Day, Christian Alexander, Rodney Folkerts and Mike Ossola turned to paid gigs by Cosmo Magazine, Brawn (IM & Undergear), MensUnderwearStore and other retailers.

In 2014 he went back to auburn, appeared on the cover of Male Model Scene and got a leading role on an NBC prime time series, Crisis. His new management CESD and Robert Stein Management scrubbed any mention of him as a model off the internet and positioned him as an instant acting sensation. (How many times have we seen scrubbed modeling profiles to create "overnight success stories" for actors?)
