MAX Agency Spotlight
Myles D.
MAX Agency has met and recruited talent from all walks of life. We spoke with Myles D. for this spotlight. Myles moved to Toronto a couple of years ago after graduating from University to pursue his music career when he was scouted on the street, “I’d always get comments about pursuing modeling and background acting and two years ago one of the MAX scouts ran into me and gave me a card. So I took the chance and signed up with you guys.”
I asked Myles about his education aside from his degree in biology from Acadia University and asked if he has studied acting and he had this to say,
“I’m considering taking acting classes. I am a musician. I’m a drummer primarily but I dabble in different areas of music. I started playing piano when I was a little kid and the guitar and I teach little kids music as well. I’m in a band right now. It’s a heavy metal band called Cauldron and we just started working on a new album. It will be a self release.”
Myles was a newcomer to the acting and modeling world when he came to MAX Agency a few years ago and we asked how things have been with MAX Agency so far,
“So far I’ve had a few auditions and I got a job doing a commercial for Jose Quervo titled ‘Have a Story’ and it starred Kiefer Sutherland. It was very professional on the set and there was always someone there to tell me where I needed to be. It was very organized. They looked after the actors petty well and they kept who the star was a secret and then Keifer Sutherland walked into the room and the energy changed.”
As a result of being cast in the Jose Quervo commercial Myles Deck was able to buy his first ACTRA permit and become an ACTRA Apprentice, “I thought about joining the union for sometime. I got some literature and read up on it and thought maybe it would open some more doors.”
Beyond Myles commercial which has become a wild success and has resulted in some pretty handsome residuals Myles is optimistic about making acting and modeling a part of his career alongside music and Arts and Entertainment as a whole, “Things have been good with MAX and very professional overall. I would love to take the acting course with The Talent Shop Academy and I’m looking forward to more auditions.”
