Ronnie Scribner

Ronnie Scribner (born July 23, 1966) is an American former actor. Beginning his career as a professional child actor and model at the age of 11, Scribner is perhaps best known for his role as the child vampire Ralphie Glick in the 1979 CBS mini-series "Salem's Lot". Rising to prominence among teenage audiences as an adolescent, he is also known for his multiple guest-starring roles throughout the late 1970s and early 1980s on such television series as the "ABC Afterschool Special", "Little House on the Prairie", "The Love Boat", "Fantasy Island", "CHiPs", and "Dallas", among others.
Early life.
Ronnie Scribner was born Ronald Adam Scribner on July 23, 1966, to parents Penny and Lawrence Scribner. He has one younger sibling, a sister named Annaliesa (born in 1969), who was also a child actor, appearing in numerous commercials as well as guest-starring with him in an episode of "Little House on the Prairie". With his youthful "boy-next-door" looks and small for his age, Scribner was often cast in roles several years younger than his true age throughout most of his career as a child star.
Career.
Early career.
Scribner began his acting career at the age of 11 when he landed his first television role as a recurring character on the 1977/1978 season of "General Hospital". On September 16, 1978, he appeared in his first starring role on ABC's Saturday morning anthology series "The ABC Weekend Special". In the episode entitled "The Contest Kid and the Big Prize", Scribner starred as Woody, the best friend of Harvey, played by fellow child star Patrick Petersen, who wins a "gentleman's gentleman" after entering a magazine contest. That same evening, Scribner made his prime-time debut on the ABC series "Fantasy Island". In the episode entitled "The Homecoming", Scribner guest-starred as Danny, the son of a Vietnam veteran (David Birney) whose wish is to be reunited with his wife and son after recovering from eight years of amnesia. On October 11, 1978, Scribner appeared in his first leading role in an episode of "The ABC Afterschool Special", the popular children's anthology series much like "The ABC Weekend Special", but known for its more mature and often dramatic stories. In the episode entitled "A Home Run for Love" (also known as "Thank You, Jackie Robinson"), Scribner starred as Sammy Greene, a fatherless boy who forms a special bond with an elderly friend through their mutual love of the 1947 Brooklyn Dodgers.
On January 15, 1979, Scribner made his first guest-starring appearance on the NBC series "Little House on the Prairie". In the episode entitled "Blind Man's Bluff", Scribner played Jordan Harrison, a friend of Laura Ingalls (Melissa Gilbert) who pretends to be blind after an accident in order to bring his quarreling parents closer together. Credited as "Lisa Scribner", Scribner's younger sister Annaliese also had a small role in the same episode as Hannah Herzog, a young girl attending Mary's (Melissa Sue Anderson) school for the blind. Scribner's next role was in the NBC television movie "The Castaways on Gilligan's Island". Premiering on May 3, 1979, the movie was the second film adaptation reuniting the original cast of the 1960s sitcom "Gilligan's Island". In the movie, Scribner played Robbie Sloan, a runaway boy who hides on the island after the former castaways have turned it into a luxury vacation destination. On September 9, 1979, Scribner once again returned as a guest star on "Fantasy Island". In the episode's storyline entitled "Hit Man", Scribner portrayed Greg Forbush, the son of a desperate businessman (David Doyle) whose wish is to be killed so that his family can collect on his life insurance. Complete with an entirely different family, Scribner joined the list of "Fantasy Island" guest stars who would return to the show to play a completely different character than his previous appearance. Scribner's next appearance was a reprisal of his role as Woody on "The ABC Weekend Special", once again starring alongside Patrick Petersen as Harvey. Airing on September 22, 1979, and titled "The Contest Kid Strikes Again", it was one of the rare times ABC produced a sequel episode to one of their live-action "Weekend Special" stories. On November 2, 1979, Scribner guest-starred on the CBS prime-time soap opera, "Dallas". In the episode entitled "The Lost Child", Scribner played Luke Middens, a lonely young boy who develops a special relationship with Bobby Ewing (Patrick Duffy), after his father is hired as a ranch hand at Southfork.
"Salem's Lot".
On November 17, 1979, Scribner starred in what would become his most famous role, that of the child vampire Ralphie Glick in the two-part CBS television movie "Salem's Lot". Based on the Stephen King novel and shot on film, the mini-series was later re-edited and given a feature film theatrical release in some European countries. In one of the film's most memorable scenes, Scribner's character levitates in the mist outside his brother's bedroom window, one of the first depictions of the child vampire in film, and becoming something of a cinematic touchstone among horror fans. In 1993, Scribner's haunting window scene was parodied in one of the special "Treehouse of Horror" episodes of "The Simpsons". In the segment entitled "Bart Simpson's Dracula", Bart is turned into a vampire by Mr. Burns, and later comes for his sister Lisa by floating outside her bedroom window and scraping on the glass. In 2003, Scribner's window scene was ranked #42 on Channel 4's list of "The 100 Greatest Scary Moments". In the countdown special, screenwriter-producer Mark Gatiss said of Scribner's scene - "It's just straight-forward scares. You can't really work out how he's floating. He's got this ghastly, deathly palette; it was really wonderful." In 2008, Scribner's scene was ranked #4 on "Empire" magazine's list of "Top 10 Scariest Movie Scenes". For the list, horror writer-director James Gunn wrote of Scribner's performance - "The moment with the little vampire brother knocking on the window, scraping and making that horrible sound. And his brother comes over and lets him in! When I was a kid, that scared me more than anything else in my entire life. It gave me nightmares for years. It all comes down to that little kid's performance! The smile on his face is the scariest, creepiest thing of all time." In 2012, "Fangoria" writer Lee Gambin described the enduring iconography of Scribner's role as "a beautiful play on the Peter Pan mythology where the children of darkness never grow up, staying young forever by feeding on the blood of mortals," and lauded Scribner's scenes as "among the most captivatingly sinister sequences ever put to film." When interviewed about the cult following the film, and particularly his scenes, had sustained for more than 30 years, Scribner stated, "It was the most fun, and I'm super happy to have been a part of something that means so much to people."
Later career.
On March 15, 1980, Scribner had a guest-starring role on the ABC series "The Love Boat". In the episode's storyline entitled "Tres Amigos", Scribner played Keith Gaines, a boy who befriends Vicki (Jill Whelan) while the two try to hide a young stowaway (Tony Ramirez) on his way to Mexico to visit his mother. On April 5, 1980, Scribner next guest-starred on the short-lived NBC sitcom "Me and Maxx" in the episode entitled "Maxx's Friend". As indicated by the episode's title, Scribner played Terry, a new friend who causes anxiety for Norman (Joe Santos) when he spends the night as a sleepover guest of the series' young female titular character, Maxx (Melissa Michaelsen). Scribner's next role was in the first of "The Gambler" television films. Premiering on April 8, 1980, Scribner originated the role of Jeremiah Hawkes (later played by Charles Fields and Kris Kamm in subsequent film installments), the long-lost son of a gambler (Kenny Rogers) who seeks out his father after learning of his true identity. On May 23, 1980, Scribner played the starring role in the ABC made-for-television movie "The Long Days of Summer". In the allegorical coming-of-age story, Scribner played Daniel Cooper, a Jewish boy who prepares to fight a bully when his family faces anti-semitism in 1938 Bridgeport, Connecticut. On July 20, 1980, Scribner guest-starred on another short-lived ABC comedy "When the Whistle Blows". In the episode entitled "Run For The Roses", Scribner played Scott, a young jockey-in-training who befriends a construction worker named Hunk (Tim Rossovich) after Hunk wins a broken-down thoroughbred race horse in a raffle. Scribner's next guest-starring role was on the NBC series "CHiPs". In the two-hour episode airing on December 7, 1980, and titled "The Great 5k Star Race and Boulder Wrap Party", Scribner played Dane, a boy who wants Jon (Larry Wilcox) for his "Big Brother" after Jon rescues him from a bicycle accident. Although most online sources indicate that the episode aired as a two-hour episode, the special was subsequently aired as two separate one-hour episodes for syndication.
On March 20, 1981, Scribner had a co-starring role in the Disney feature film "Amy". Originally intended to air as part of the "Wonderful World of Disney" television anthology series, the film was instead given a theatrical release. In the film, Scribner portrayed Walter Ray, a blind boy attending a special school for the deaf and blind in the early 1900s when a new teacher, Amy (Jenny Agutter), comes to begin a new life. Scribner's next appearance was a guest-starring role on the ABC family drama "Code Red" produced by Irwin Allen. In the episode entitled "All That Glitters" (listed by some sources as "The Land of Make Believe") and airing on November 29, 1981, Scribner played Seth, a boy who befriends Danny (Adam Rich), a young firefighter-in-training who lands a small role in a film where the flagrant fire code violations endanger everyone working on set. On December 9, 1981, Scribner next guest-starred on the NBC mystery-crime series "Quincy, M.E.". In the episode entitled "", Scribner portrayed Gabe, a young mute ranch hand who holds the key to a murder that Quincy (Jack Klugman) is investigating.
Teen idol.
As Scribner entered adolescence, teenage audiences began to take notice of him, as did the teen magazines. Beginning to appear his true age, Scribner made the transition from child star to teen idol with color pinups and articles appearing in numerous teen magazines of the time, including "Tiger Beat", "Super Teen" and "Teen Stars" among others. In April 1982, "Tiger Beat" described Scribner when introducing him to their teen readers - "Soft brown hair, sparkling eyes of blue, a touch of freckles that gives him that appealing boy-next-door look and a smile to make your heart spin - that's Ronnie Scribner." On October 3, 1982, Scribner returned to the big screen with a role in the feature film "Split Image". In the film, Scribner portrayed Sean Stetson, the adolescent brother of a young man (Michael O'Keefe) whose family struggles to bring him home after he joins a religious "commune". Although a small supporting role, Scribner's performance in the film earned him a Youth In Film Award nomination (now known as the Young Artist Award) in the "Best Young Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture" category. On October 18, 1982, Scribner returned to "Little House on the Prairie" in what would be his final role. In the episode entitled "Rage", Scribner guest-starred as Randall Page, a teenage boy in Walnut Grove who falls in love with a girl (Tammy Lauren) whose father, plagued by personal and financial troubles, becomes unhinged after learning of the young lovers' budding romance.
Personal life.
Following his final appearance on "Little House", Scribner's acting career began to taper off. In 1985, he was reportedly set to co-star in the feature film "The Falcon and the Snowman," but his role was subsequently cut from the final edit and interest from the teen magazines eventually waned. After leaving show business, Scribner finished high school, and in 1989 enrolled at the University of California, where he graduated in 1993. In the subsequent years, Scribner worked as a financial analyst and mortgage broker, and in 1999, he married Jessica Garza. As of 2011, Scribner was working as a consumer credit manager and was living in the Denver, Colorado, area with his wife Jessica and their three children.

Storylines.
1987–2001.
Donna Logan was concerned about her younger sister Katie, who had low self-esteem due to excessive acne, and convinced Donna's classmate, Rocco Carner, to date her. Rocco was attracted to Donna, but she was already involved with Mark Mallory and was residing with him. When Donna realised Mark wasn't right for her, she kicked him out of her life, but she and Rocco were never able to make a go of their relationship. Donna was hired to model for Tommy Bayland, who referred her to agent Nick Preston, who convinced Donna to pose nude for a magazine in Europe. Media mogul Bill Spencer saw the photos and published them in a US magazine, leading Donna to join forces with Nick and Rocco to take nude pictures of Bill to publish in his own magazines. Donna eventually confessed to what she did to Bill and asked Bill to transfer her father Stephen, who worked for Bill's company, back to Los Angeles from Paris, but Stephanie Forrester opposed that idea. After a failed relationship with Thorne Forrester, Donna left Los Angeles for San Francisco, and returned for special occasions. In 2001 she returned to Los Angeles with all her family.
2006–.
Donna returned to LA in 2006, and immediately began trying to persuade her sister Brooke, who had now married Nick Marone, to take Ridge back, reminding her of how long she had fought to keep him. When Donna was unsuccessful in convincing her sister to return to Ridge, she went after him herself. This eventually failed, when she realized that Brooke and Ridge would always be connected. She was then engaged to marry Thorne Forrester. However it ended soon after when Donna's younger sister, Katie revealed that Donna was only with Thorne out of spite and revenge rather than actual love. Donna then became involved with Eric Forrester who was still married. He later divorced Stephanie to be with Donna. This sparked a rivalry between Donna and Stephanie's younger sister Pamela who was desperate to see Stephanie and Eric reunite. Eric and Donna eventually married, much to Pam's dismay. However their marriage was not without problems. Eric's daughter Felicia had allied herself with her brothers, Thorne and Ridge, to eliminate Donna out of Forrester Creations, because of the supposed bad publicity that the company had received since Eric married Donna (of whom none of them approve). Their efforts had been not too well received by Eric, who was angry that his children aren't willing to give Donna a chance. Even their mother Stephanie encouraged them to drop their animosity toward her, if only for their father's sake.
During a business meeting at Forrester Creations, it was revealed by Felicia that when Donna was eighteen she had given up a baby boy for adoption. Marcus Walton , a new employee at Forrester, was revealed to be Donna's son. Thorne and Felicia attempted to use this information to drive Donna out of the company, but were shocked when Eric adopted Marcus. After Eric suffered a heart attack, and was revealed to have been poisoned, Felicia continued to ally with her brothers in eliminating Donna's presence from their lives. When Eric awoke from his coma, Felicia helped to reunite him with Stephanie; though this reunion proved short-lived and he eventually returned to Donna much to Felicia and her brothers' chagrin.
Bill Spencer, Jr. had his sights set on Donna but later turned his attention to Katie. After Spencer Publications took over Forrester Creations, Donna was reunited with her old high school flame, Justin Barber, who is vice-president at Spencer Publications. Donna confided in Katie that Justin was the father of her son, Marcus. After agonizing over the decision of whether or not to tell Justin about Marcus, Donna decided to keep silent about the matter, but Justin quickly learned of Donna's son, and, after an intense confrontation with Donna, learned that he was Marcus's father. Justin demanded that Donna let him know his son, and Donna reluctantly agreed.
Donna and Eric end their marriage and Justin and Donna rekindle their relationship and get married soon after. However it was short-lived and they divorced months later. They remain friends as well as loving parents to Marcus and loving grandparents to their granddaughter, Rosie. Donna then started a relationship with Nick Marone, but it ended quickly after it was revealed that he and his mother stole designs from Forrester. Donna later finds out about Bill's many schemes to break up his son, Liam, and Donna's niece, Hope. She confronts Bill and informs him that she will not stay quiet. However she later changes her mind when she finds Liam and his ex-wife, Steffy, together intimately. Donna encourages her niece to move on from Liam as she does not want to see Hope get hurt. Hope finds out later that Donna and several others knew about Bill's actions however Hope forgives her aunt. Donna then gets caught up in another scandal of Bill's when he and her older sister, Brooke had an affair whilst he was still married to their younger sister, Katie. The affair resulted in a pregnancy and miscarriage. Later when Bill leaves Katie for Brooke, Donna ended up in the middle of it and tries to mediate a reconciliation between her two sisters, unsuccessfully. Donna then becomes rivals with jewelry designer Quinn Fuller as they compete for Eric. Donna moves to Dallas to be with her father. In October 2016, Donna briefly returns for Brooke and Bill's wedding, which ends up not happening due to Ridge's interference. In December 2017, Donna returns to spend Christmas with her sisters. In February 2018, Donna attends Brooke and Ridge’s wedding. In May and August 2018, Donna returns twice for Hope and Liam's wedding. In September 2018, Donna returns for Katie and Thorne’s wedding, and moves permanently back to Los Angeles the following month.

Albert Reed (model)

Albert Reed (born March 6, 1985) is an American model. Raised in the surf culture of Vero Beach, Florida, Reed's modeling career accelerated at the age of 19 after appearing on the cover of Abercrombie & Fitch's 2004 back-to-school catalog. In August 2007, Reed was selected to appear in the fifth season of the U.S. television series "Dancing with the Stars".
Early life.
Reed was born in South Miami, Florida at the South Miami Hospital to Barbara Foster and John Reed. At the age of thirteen, Reed moved with his family about north of their middle class Miami neighborhood to Vero Beach, which Reed refers to as "a little surfer town located on the east coast of central Florida." The family's proximity to the beach allowed Reed to surf just about every day. He quickly integrated himself into the local surf culture and adopted a live-to-surf casual lifestyle.
In 2000, Reed began attending Vero Beach High School. While he was in the 10th grade, Reed's parents, who Reed describes as hippies, divorced.
During a trip down to Miami, Reed's modeling potential was discovered accidentally while accompanying a friend to her modeling agency, Karin Models. Although his friend was not signed, Karin Models immediately signed Reed, who then began modeling part-time while he finished high school.
Career.
Modeling.
At 18, Reed graduated from high school and moved to Miami to pursue modeling and public relations work in clubs. He received a steady string of modeling jobs, which led to opportunities to model in Greece, Scotland, and then Italy, where Reed lived for about six months. While in Italy, Reed was featured as the sole male model in the Spring/Summer 2004 catalog for Italian sportswear company SLAM Although his European experience was positive, the ongoing Iraq War left Europeans "a bit sour" towards Reed and other Americans working in Europe, and Reed returned to the United States.
A 2004 meeting with internationally acclaimed photographer Bruce Weber led to Reed's big break, a photo shoot and website video appearance for Abercrombie & Fitch. Reed appeared on a billboard in Times Square with a LIVE TO SURF tattoo and subsequently on the cover of Abercrombie & Fitch's 2004 back-to-school catalog. More than 10 million homes throughout the United States received a copy of that catalog, and that cover subsequently has appeared as an ad in "Rolling Stone", "GQ", "Teen Vogue", and the premiere issue of "VITALS". Reed credits the 2004 Abercrombie & Fitch cover for giving him the needed credentials to make it as a professional model.
In September 2004, Reed signed with IMG, a global talent agency and production company in New York City. In December of that same year, "Cosmopolitan" magazine named Reed as their December 2004 "Cosmo's Guy Without His Shirt".
In January 2005, signed with The John Crosby Management Company, Innovative Artists Talent and Literary Agency in New York, and Bleu Model Management in Los Angeles. In this same month, "Ocean Drive" magazine highlighted the 19-year-old Reed as "one [of] the 24 freshest faces on the Miami modeling scene," a fact important enough to be featured in Bleu Model Management's listing in Hoover's "In-Depth Company Records". He is also with Public Image Worldwide, Elite Model Management in Toronto, and DNA Model Management in New York City.
In March 2005, the Italian sportswear company SLAM announced Reed as cover model for their 2005 Spring/Summer Sportswear Catalog. Reed had previously had appeared as the SLAM 2004 Spring/Summer cover model and the 2004 Fall/Winter cover model.
In April 2005, MostBeautifulMan.com selected Reed as their choice for "April 2005 Most Beautiful Man." Past recipients of Most Beautiful Man selection include Brad Pitt (May 2004) and Ashton Kutcher (Feb. 2004).
In July 2005, former Vice President Al Gore's cable channel, Current TV, filmed Reed during a shooting with celebrity photographer Tony Duran. Current TV additionally interviewed Reed and turned the footage into a segment for their channel. The pod segment was shown on Current TV in early August 2005.
Reed currently is the national face of Van Heusen apparel company.

What distinguished Reed from the other contestants is that he does not dance. During his interview to be on the show, Reed stated: "I can't. I got rhythm. I'm able to pull out. A few dance moves in a bar or wherever. I'm not unable to dance at all, but I'm definitely not a ballroom dancer by any means." The "Chicago Sun-Times" listed Reed's odds of winning at 8-1, behind 9-5 odds favorite Scary Spice and three others.
Reed's grandfather, Harry Foster, died in November 2006 and Reed dedicated his "Dancing with the Stars" performance to him, a former ballroom dancer, and his grandmother. On October 2, Reed was voted off "Dancing with the Stars", making him the second celebrity eliminated from the show.

Alex Pettyfer

Alexander Richard Pettyfer (born 10 April 1990) is a British actor and model. He appeared in school plays and on television before being cast as Alex Rider, the main character in the 2006 film version of "Stormbreaker". Pettyfer was nominated for a Young Artist Award and an Empire Award for his role.
He has been seen as a model in several advertising campaigns for Burberry and has starred in a number of other films, including "I Am Number Four," "Beastly", and "Magic Mike". He starred as Brody in the Netflix science fiction miniseries "The I-Land".
Early life.
Pettyfer was born in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, England, the son of Lee Robinson, an actress and Richard Pettyfer, an actor. Both parents met while performing in London's West End in "West Side Story", "Cats" and "Miss Saigon". He has a younger half-brother, James Ireland, a professional tennis player and regional coach, from his mother's remarriage to Michael J. Ireland, a retired builder and property developer.
Pettyfer was brought up in Esher and then Windsor, Berkshire and began his career initially being managed by his mother as a young fashion model at the age of seven, for Gap, after meeting Ralph Lauren in a toy store in New York. He also did advertisements for some yogurt brands. His first commercial was at age six.
As a schoolboy, he performed in plays, including in the role of Willy Wonka in a production of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", Jack in his school play "Jack and the Beanstalk" and Robin Hood in the adaptation of "The Adventures of Robin Hood" (1938). Pettyfer was educated at two junior independent schools: The Mall School, a small school in Twickenham, followed by the Lambrook Haileybury school in Winkfield, Berkshire. He subsequently attended two other independent boarding schools: Millfield School in Street, Somerset and Shiplake College near Henley-on-Thames in Oxfordshire. Before his GCSEs, he left Shiplake College to attend the independent Sylvia Young Theatre School in London.
Career.
In 2005, Pettyfer made his professional acting début in the British television production of "Tom Brown's Schooldays", playing the lead character, Tom Brown; he received positive reviews for the role. In June 2005, he was cast in his most prominent role so far, that of teenage MI6 spy Alex Rider in the film "Stormbreaker", based on the novel by Anthony Horowitz. He was one of 500 who auditioned for the role. Pettyfer chose to appear in the film over a role in the film "Eragon", noting that he preferred "Stormbreaker" because it would be filmed in Britain, in the Isle of Man, while "Eragon" would film in Hungary; Pettyfer has a fear of flying, and he liked the looks of the cast for "Stormbreaker". "Stormbreaker" was released on 21 July 2006 in the United Kingdom, on 6 October 2006 in the United States and on 21 September 2006 in Australia.
One review of Pettyfer's performance described him as playing the role with an "earnest intensity", although another noted that he "isn't quite at ease as an actor". Media reports specified that the film was expected to make Pettyfer a "teen idol". In September 2006, it was reported that Pettyfer would not reprise the role if there was another Alex Rider film because he had become too mature for the role.
At around age 17, because of his earlier acting success and to supplement his income, Pettyfer started modelling, notably in some advertising campaigns for Burberry.
He next appeared in "Wild Child", a film set in California, Kent and Yorkshire part of which took place at Cobham Hall Girls' School in Kent. He played schoolboy Freddie Kingsley. In 2009, he played the callous ringleader of a group of cool but cruel teenagers who are picked off one by one by the ghost of one of their former victims, in the horror-comedy "Tormented".
He starred in the film "Beastly", based on the novel by Alex Flinn. He finished filming on 13 August 2009, and the film was released on 4 March 2011. Pettyfer portrayed the main character in "I Am Number Four", released in February 2011 and directed by D.J. Caruso.
He was offered the part of Jace Wayland in the film adaption of Cassandra Clare's best selling book, "City of Bones". Jamie Campbell Bower was later cast as Jace Wayland. Pettyfer had also been offered a part in a film adaption of Joseph Delaney's "The Wardstone Chronicles", but he declined the role. He was in line to star in "The Paperboy", based on the Pete Dexter novel of the same name, but was dropped for the role. In 2012, he played Adam, a 19-year-old who enters the world of male stripping in "Magic Mike".
In 2013, Pettyfer had a small role as Thomas Westfall in "The Butler". In 2014, he starred in the romantic drama "Endless Love". In 2016, Pettyfer played the role of Jerry Schilling in the biography film "Elvis & Nixon". In 2017, he starred as Nick in the indie thriller "The Strange Ones" directed by Christopher Radcliff and Lauren Wolkstein. Pettyfer and his producing partner Craig Robinson launched Upturn Productions in 2015 with the intent of securing literary works that could be made into film or television. In 2017, "Back Roads," based on the book of the same name by Tawni O'Dell, was their first independent film produced under the Upturn banner. Pettyfer made it his directorial debut and also played the lead role of Harley Altmyer.
In 2018, Pettyfer starred as Stephen Underwood, a journalist who uncovers the horrific murder of 22,000 Poles under Stalin's instructions, in the post–World War II thriller "The Last Witness". In the same year, it was announced that Pettyfer had been cast in the main role of Brody on the Netflix science fiction miniseries "The I-Land". The miniseries was released on 12 September 2019.
Personal life.
In June 2009, Pettyfer was voted number 35 on British women's magazine "Company's" list of the top 50 most eligible bachelors. In August 2009, the British magazine "Glamour" ranked him number 21 on their list of the sexiest men on the planet.
After Pettyfer completed filming "Stormbreaker", he did not discuss the film with anyone at his school, citing the advice of his "Stormbreaker" star Ewan McGregor, who told him to keep his personal and professional lives separate. Pettyfer subsequently decided to leave school without any qualifications and concentrate on his film career, saying that "When you have already experienced going out and working in the real world, and you come back to school, you just see it as a playground and you don't want to be there any more".
In a 2011 interview, he stated "I felt like the industry was just a factory. You hear a lot of people say they want to make art in this industry, but so few people actually fucking do it. I was disillusioned by Hollywood at the time, but now I've come to accept that's just the way things are: it's called show business, not show art."

Dan Lozano

Daniel Martin Lozano (born March 3, 1967) is a professional sports agent, specializing in baseball. He is the founder of MVP Sports Group, a sports agency based in Los Angeles, CA. His current clients include many notable MLB players such as Albert Pujols, Joey Votto, Alex Rodriguez, Jimmy Rollins, Carlos Beltrán, Manny Machado, Fernando Tatis, Jr., Nick Swisher, Michael Young, Brian Wilson and Mike Piazza. He has worked professionally as an agent for over 23 years, and has negotiated numerous deals including some of the largest deals in baseball history such as Mike Piazza's 7-year $91 million deal with the New York Mets, Albert Pujols’ $240 million deal with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, Joey Votto's $225 million extension with the Cincinnati Reds, and both Manny Machado's 10-year $300 million deal and Fernando Tatis, Jr.'s 14-year $340 million extension with the San Diego Padres.
Early career.
Lozano began working as an intern for Beverly Hills Sports Council in 1989, and was made a partner at the firm in 1996 where he remained until his departure in May 2010. During his tenure at the firm, Lozano represented many of the highest profile players in baseball, and negotiated several record setting contracts. In 1998, Lozano negotiated what at the time was the largest contract ever awarded in MLB, Mike Piazza's 7-year $91 million contract with the New York Mets. Ultimately valued at over $93 million with incentives earned, it remains the third largest contract ever awarded to a catcher. In 2000, Lozano negotiated an extension for Pittsburgh Pirates catcher Jason Kendall worth more than $60 million over 5 years. In 2004, he negotiated an 8-year $112 million deal for first-time arbitration eligible Albert Pujols with the St. Louis Cardinals. It was the largest contract in Cardinals’ history, and it remains the largest contract ever for a first time arbitration eligible player. (Mike Trout's six-year $144.5mm contract signed in 2014 has since surpassed this contract in value.) Lozano also negotiated a number of other multimillion-dollar contracts or extensions, including for Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Jimmy Rollins (6 years $48.5 million) and Texas Rangers infielder Michael Young (6 years $81 million).
Lozano's success has earned him numerous accolades in the sports business community. He has twice been named to the prestigious “Forty Under 40” list created annually by Street & Smith's Sports Business Journal, first in 2002 then again in 2005. He is routinely referenced as one of the top agents in sports.
MVP Sports Group.
In May, 2010, it was widely reported that Lozano had left Beverly Hills Sports Council in favor of starting a new company, and that many of his clients would elect to remain with his representation.
Shortly thereafter, Lozano founded MVP Sports Group (formerly ICON Sports Group) where he has continued to represent many of his clients including Albert Pujols, Joey Votto, Jimmy Rollins, Michael Young and others. Since his departure, a number of other players have also signed with Lozano and MVP including Alex Rodriguez, Nick Swisher,
Brian Wilson, Kurt Suzuki, Manny Machado, Carlos Beltrán, Jonny Gomes, Fernando Tatis, Jr., Mike Gonzalez and Eric Young, Jr.
2011 Offseason.
The 2011 MLB offseason was highlighted by the free-agency of St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Albert Pujols after spending his first 11 seasons with the Cardinals. After an extended bidding process involving multiple teams, Pujols ended up signing a 10-year, $240 million contract with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. The deal made Pujols just the second player in professional sports history to sign a contract whose total value exceeded $200 million. Pujols’ contract contains numerous incentives and milestone bonuses, as well as a lucrative personal services agreement that would begin after Pujols retires that could push the total value of the deal above $260 million. Lozano also negotiated several other multi-year contracts in 2011, including Carlos Beltran's $26 million deal with the Cardinals, and Jimmy Rollins’ $33 million deal with the Phillies. Lozano also negotiated a massive 10 year, $225 million extension for Cincinnati Reds first baseman Joey Votto on the eve of the start to the 2012 regular season. Including the 2 years remaining on his previous deal, the total value of the contract is reported to be 12 years and $251.5 million (plus a team option for the 2024 season). It's the largest contract ever awarded to a National League player and the longest guaranteed contract in major league history. The deal shocked many in the industry, not only for the length and total dollars spent by the Reds, but also because Votto was still under contract and two years away from free agency. In total, Lozano was responsible for negotiating more than half a billion dollars in contracts, a record for any individual agent or agency in one offseason.
November 2011.
Lozano was the subject of an unflattering exposé in an article published on Deadspin.com in November 2011. The article, based on an anonymously sent packet received by Deadspin that quotes unidentified and anonymous sources, alleges various improprieties. A previously published USA Today article covering the same issues addressed the possible source of the allegations, noting Lozano's impressive client roster (including the many players who had left other firms to hire him) and his recent departure from a firm as possible motivations for attack.
