00:00:00I'm introducing something like you've never seen.

00:00:0824 of the hottest male talents in this country are competing for a lead role.

00:00:13And you decide to become the next real star.

00:00:17I'm introducing a new thing.

00:00:23I'm Nicole Maddox, an actress known for my work on Vertical Series.

00:00:27I want a divorce.

00:00:28And I'm Jesse Morales, an actor, dancer.

00:00:31Most of you probably know me as Andrew Hills, Chris Collins, and Sylvie.

00:00:36And this is the next real star.

00:00:38This is the first ever vertical reality acting competition.

00:00:4224 men from across the country will be challenged putting their acting skills to the test.

00:00:47But this isn't an ordinary audition.

00:00:50Oh, no, no, no, no.

00:00:51We will be mentoring them to see who has what it takes to be a vertical star.

00:00:55Make sure you're letting the person finish their thought.

00:00:58Slow down and mean it.

00:00:59This is gonna be really hard.

00:01:01Only one person can win, though.

00:01:03The prize of acting in a show with me.

00:01:05Or me.

00:01:06Yeah, yeah. We can both get one.

00:01:07I don't know where you're from, but if you ain't first, you're last.

00:01:10Okay.

00:01:11Let's find the next real star.

00:01:13But I'm about to be a real star, bro.

00:01:19Hello, folks.

00:01:24I'm Kiki Frags, and welcome to the competition.

00:01:27Let's go.

00:01:28My name's Joshua Vasconcelos.

00:01:31I'm representing the state of Iowa.

00:01:32I'm a hunter, duck hunting, deer hunting.

00:01:35Doesn't matter what it is.

00:01:36If it flies, it dies.

00:01:37If it runs, we shoot.

00:01:39I think what makes me stand out is living in the moment.

00:01:41Every door opens an opportunity, and I'm pretty open to every opportunity that's there.

00:01:47Now, before we begin, I would like to play a few icebreakers to loosen things up.

00:01:52Some ways that we can actually get to know each other a little bit better.

00:01:55This will help dictate who you will be assigned to to be your mentor.

00:02:01Either Jesse or Nicole.

00:02:03You guys ready?

00:02:04Yeah, we're ready.

00:02:05Good.

00:02:06Then who's ready to break the ice?

00:02:08This isn't just a regular casting call.

00:02:11This is a chance at stardom.

00:02:13And for the first time, the audience gets to choose who wins.

00:02:18In this challenge, two of you guys will be facing head-to-head, reciting lines while arm wrestling each other.

00:02:24The loser who cannot hold their strength or remember their line will have to drink.

00:02:29How does that sound?

00:02:30Let's do it.

00:02:31Phenomenal.

00:02:32The lines you'll be reading are from iconic real short shows.

00:02:35I'm going to come back for you someday.

00:02:37I love you, Carolyn Mills.

00:02:39Our first two contestants are John Carlos and Jacob.

00:02:43I'm Jacob Robert Kuhn.

00:02:45I'm representing Arizona.

00:02:46I have a Filipino background.

00:02:48So, you know, it was either sing, dance, or both.

00:02:52I think I have the ability to win.

00:02:53I wouldn't mind bringing home the gold.

00:02:55All right, gentlemen.

00:02:57On the count of three, you'll turn over the papers and begin the competition.

00:03:01Ready?

00:03:02One.

00:03:03Two.

00:03:07One.

00:03:08Two.

00:03:09Three.

00:03:10Two.

00:03:11I'm going to come back for you someday.

00:03:13I love you, Caroline.

00:03:14This is my military time.

00:03:15I want you to have it.

00:03:17A muscular physique is a requirement for any real star, but so is a muscular mind.

00:03:22You think I'm so poor, little loser?

00:03:24Prove it.

00:03:25Cash is a check.

00:03:26Hey, man.

00:03:27The line must be delivered perfectly every single time.

00:03:31I said, keep your fucking palms off my mate.

00:03:35I lost my mind. That's why I married you.

00:03:38The biggest mistake of my life.

00:03:40My name is Giancarlo Salazar, I represent Connecticut,

00:03:43and I'm a registered nurse, and I aspire to be Meryl Streep.

00:03:47She is one of the best actresses of all time,

00:03:49and she is able to portray any kind of character.

00:03:52I think the term for that would be a chameleon.

00:03:54Come on!

00:03:57Finish it!

00:03:58Come on!

00:04:02You dirt poor little maggot.

00:04:07That's an awesome performance right there.

00:04:09Congratulations, Jacob, on the win.

00:04:11Giancarlo, you have to have a drink.

00:04:13Our next contestants are Cam and Drew, also known as Drinks on Drew.

00:04:18My name is Drew Tillman. I'm representing the state of Indiana.

00:04:21I'm serving and bartending at a sushi restaurant.

00:04:24And actually, for like a brief moment in Florida, I was a male stripper.

00:04:28Just for a little bit.

00:04:30I just recently picked up modeling.

00:04:32I do get a lot of comments, you know, on my looks.

00:04:35And I think I have a unique energy to myself.

00:04:40Go!

00:04:42I'm gonna come back for you someday.

00:04:43I love you, Caroline.

00:04:45I don't care who you stick with this marriage or anything.

00:04:47Come on!

00:04:48My dad's friend is like a dill.

00:04:51I'm not your boyfriend anymore, okay?

00:04:53And two, she's not a nobody.

00:04:55I'm gonna come back for you someday.

00:04:57I love you, Caroline Mills.

00:04:58I love you, Caroline Mills.

00:05:04They are looking for that leading man.

00:05:07They're looking for somebody who is polished, professional,

00:05:10who shows up every day ready for adventure.

00:05:12Someone who's ready to take action when needed.

00:05:14All right, boys, that was well thought.

00:05:15I think I'm sweating just from watching that.

00:05:17So this one's called, Who's the Mole?

00:05:26Let's play.

00:05:27Well, I play sports.

00:05:30I'm around ice.

00:05:31And I have a stick.

00:05:32My name is Joseph Woods, representing New Hampshire.

00:05:35Right now, I'm currently not doing anything.

00:05:38I've always been told that I'm very handsome,

00:05:40and I look like Zac Efron.

00:05:42What is something about you that would surprise people?

00:05:44Oh, it's classified.

00:05:46I might also throw some punches,

00:05:50frequently in the cold,

00:05:52and there's a pretty big fan section.

00:05:54Some could say I'm a competitor.

00:05:56I'm always looking to make a goal.

00:05:58It won't take long for any real star

00:06:00to play someone trying to hide a secret.

00:06:02Simon, what's going on?

00:06:04Victoria, I'm so sorry.

00:06:06But I am the CEO of the Jones Group.

00:06:11So there's one mole upon us.

00:06:13I feel like you might be trying to confuse us, though.

00:06:15However, I don't know.

00:06:16Yeah.

00:06:17That's such a mole behavior again.

00:06:18Come on.

00:06:19He also has sunglasses on.

00:06:20That's special.

00:06:21Yeah.

00:06:22This guy has full sunglasses.

00:06:23Avoiding eye contact.

00:06:24My name is Hayden Green.

00:06:26I am representing the state of Ohio,

00:06:28and I'm a full-time social media influencer.

00:06:31I used to be an info on the camera,

00:06:33but filming for YouTube compared to filming for a show

00:06:36is a little different.

00:06:37I played two years of college basketball.

00:06:39So I didn't model.

00:06:40I didn't act growing up at all.

00:06:42And then I got into a bodybuilding,

00:06:44and that led me to signing with some modeling agencies.

00:06:47My biggest asset is never taking an L as a loss.

00:06:51I think L stands for lesson learned,

00:06:53and I am willing to fail a thousand times to reach my dream.

00:06:58I feel like the mole is somewhere.

00:07:01Oh.

00:07:02Somewhere over here.

00:07:03Somewhere over there.

00:07:04Spoken like a true mole.

00:07:08Ken?

00:07:09Congratulations.

00:07:10No way.

00:07:11Whoa.

00:07:12I am the mole.

00:07:13I think I've played all of you guys relatively well.

00:07:15That's right.

00:07:16I blended in well enough just to last long enough with this quaint minutes.

00:07:20Hello.

00:07:21My name is Ken.

00:07:23I'm 20 years old.

00:07:25I'm representing the state of Hawaii.

00:07:27I am a model, a college student, and a part-time behavioral therapist with younger kids.

00:07:31I've grown up in Asia, Europe, North America, the Middle East.

00:07:34I'm motivated to win the next real star because of my cultural ambiguity,

00:07:38and this is more than just about myself.

00:07:40I believe that I represent a whole group of people,

00:07:42and acting has been a large part of my background ever since I was young,

00:07:46and this is what I love.

00:07:47Congratulations on dodging everyone's guesses.

00:07:50You were the mole, but no one could find you.

00:07:52Ken's got the look.

00:07:53He's got the chops.

00:07:54I think he might have what it takes.

00:07:56But the road ahead is steep, and these other men will be looking to rip that dream away from Ken.

00:08:03All these small-armed gentlemen are going to be excited for this challenge because this icebreaker challenge will be putting their physical stamina to the test.

00:08:20Who are starting up will be Tyler and Wes.

00:08:24Oh, yeah.

00:08:25Let's go, Wes. I got my money on you, man.

00:08:27I'm going to come back for you someday. I love you, Caroline Mills.

00:08:31This is my military tech. I want you to have it.

00:08:34My name is Tyler Mata. I'm representing the state of Colorado.

00:08:37I'm currently working in commercial finance.

00:08:39I actually just also got my real estate license as well.

00:08:42My previous career is modeling and acting.

00:08:44It was actually cut short because of COVID.

00:08:46I've always been kind of wanting to get back into it.

00:08:48This is kind of a door to get back into it.

00:08:50Do you make more money?

00:08:52No.

00:08:53No.

00:08:54It's good paying, but no, I don't. I actually made more money modeling and acting.

00:08:58Yeah.

00:08:59You really think you can beat me, you dirty poor little maggot?

00:09:04You think I'm some poor loser?

00:09:06Prove it.

00:09:07Cast a check.

00:09:08It's my pup and I can smell him.

00:09:10How much do you want with this baby?

00:09:12And two, she's not a nobody.

00:09:14Hey, let's go!

00:09:18Let's get it.

00:09:19Let's get it.

00:09:20Next up, Josh and Noah.

00:09:22All right.

00:09:23Three, two, one.

00:09:26I'm gonna come back for you someday.

00:09:28I love you, Caroline.

00:09:30You really think you can beat me?

00:09:32You dirt poor little maggot.

00:09:34You think I'm some poor loser?

00:09:36Prove it.

00:09:37Physical stamina is an absolute must.

00:09:44I lost my mind.

00:09:46And that's why I married you.

00:09:48The biggest mistake of my entire life.

00:09:50Some actress had me.

00:09:51I'm gonna come back for you someday.

00:09:53While others...

00:09:54She's not a nobody.

00:09:55Not so much.

00:09:56You know I'm technically your husband, right?

00:09:59Ten seconds.

00:10:00But my dad's friend Chris is a dill!

00:10:03Five, four, three, two, one, and time's up.

00:10:09Woo!

00:10:10Let's go!

00:10:11Bro, that sucked.

00:10:13You guys ran through an entire vertical.

00:10:16Jesus.

00:10:17I've been doing verticals now for about three years,

00:10:20and I can say they've safely changed my life.

00:10:23You're my mate.

00:10:26I don't know who I'd be if I never found them.

00:10:29It's important for me to pair Jesse Nicole with contestants

00:10:32our viewers at home believe are worthy of winning a leading role with them.

00:10:35Woo!

00:10:38I just, I got the packs, you know?

00:10:40They work.

00:10:41My name is Eric, and I'm representing Oregon.

00:10:44I do a lot of different things.

00:10:45I have a small candy company.

00:10:47I stream online.

00:10:48I make money as a content creator.

00:10:50It's a little bit of everything.

00:10:51I grew up as a nerd, and it really wasn't until after I graduated college that I started to embrace my identity.

00:10:58And that's what makes my story so unique is that I wasn't always that guy.

00:11:02And I believe my story is going to touch more hearts because of that.

00:11:05Because I know what it's like to be at the bottom and how difficult it is to get your way to the top, but it's very possible.

00:11:11I've never had this happen to me on a plane, but I've never met these two people next to me.

00:11:21And I got the middle seat, unfortunately, but the guy next to me on my left.

00:11:25Yo, what's up with this story time?

00:11:29We get it, dude.

00:11:30It's like, oh my God, dude.

00:11:32I'm going to have a headache.

00:11:33It looks like we got a hater right here, bro.

00:11:34Don't care about the hater right now, bro.

00:11:36My name is Andrew Johnson.

00:11:38I am an actor, professional.

00:11:41Do you feel like there's anyone that could be your biggest competitor?

00:11:44Are you worried at all?

00:11:46No.

00:11:47No.

00:11:48Why?

00:11:51All right, boys.

00:11:52This one's called the Dance Memorization Challenge.

00:11:57So, does that make sense to everyone?

00:11:59I know.

00:12:00Oh, wow.

00:12:01Okay.

00:12:02I'll have to think about it.

00:12:05Every production has its divas.

00:12:06Looks like we may have found ours.

00:12:10Guys, I'm the problem on the set.

00:12:12I'm the bad boy.

00:12:13And at the end of the day, I'm the only one who's capable of winning this competition.

00:12:18Andrew, are you going to do this?

00:12:22No.

00:12:43I'm introducing something like you've never seen.

00:12:4624 of the hottest male talents in this country are competing for a lead role.

00:17:02And actually, for like a brief moment in Florida, I was a male stripper.

00:17:06Just for a little bit.

00:17:09I just recently picked up modeling.

00:17:11I do get a lot of comments, you know, on my looks.

00:17:13And I think I have a unique energy to myself.

00:17:18Go!

00:17:20I'm gonna come back for you someday.

00:17:22I love you, Caroline.

00:17:23I don't care who you stick with this marriage or anything.

00:17:26Come on!

00:17:27My dad's friend is like a dill.

00:17:30I'm not your boyfriend anymore, okay?

00:17:32And two, she's not a nobody.

00:17:34I'm gonna come back for you someday.

00:17:36I love you, Caroline Mills.

00:17:42They are looking for that leading man.

00:17:45They're looking for somebody who is polished, professional,

00:17:48who shows up every day ready for adventure.

00:17:50Someone who's ready to take action when needed.

00:17:52All right, boys, that was well fought.

00:17:53I think I'm sweating just from watching that.

00:17:55So this one's called, Who's the Mole?

00:18:04Let's play.

00:18:05Well, I play sports.

00:18:08I'm around ice, and I have a stick.

00:18:10My name is Joseph Woods, representing New Hampshire.

00:18:13Right now, I'm currently not doing anything.

00:18:15I've always been told that I'm very handsome,

00:18:18and I look like Zac Efron.

00:18:20What is something about you that would surprise people?

00:18:23Oh, it's classified.

00:18:26I might also throw some punches,

00:18:28frequently in the cold,

00:18:30and there's a pretty big fan section.

00:18:32Some could say I'm a competitor.

00:18:34I'm always looking to make a goal.

00:18:36It won't take long for any real star

00:18:38to play someone trying to hide a secret.

00:18:40Simon, what's going on?

00:18:42Victoria, I'm so sorry.

00:18:44But I am the CEO of the Jones Group.

00:18:48So there's one mole upon us.

00:18:51I feel like you might be trying to confuse us, though.

00:18:53However, I don't know.

00:18:54Yeah.

00:18:55That's such a mole behavior again.

00:18:56Come on.

00:18:57He also has sunglasses on.

00:18:58Yeah.

00:18:59This guy has full sunglasses.

00:19:01Avoiding eye commentary.

00:19:02My name is Hayden Green.

00:19:04I am representing the state of Ohio,

00:19:06and I'm a full-time social media influencer.

00:19:09I used to being in front of the camera,

00:19:11but filming for YouTube compared to filming for a show

00:19:14is a little different.

00:19:15I played two years of college basketball,

00:19:17so I didn't model.

00:19:18I didn't act growing up at all.

00:19:20And then I got into bodybuilding,

00:19:22and that led me to signing with some modeling agencies.

00:19:26My biggest asset is never taking an L as a loss.

00:19:30I think L stands for lesson learned,

00:19:32and I am willing to fail a thousand times to reach my dream.

00:19:36I feel like the mole is somewhere.

00:19:39Oh!

00:19:40Somewhere over here.

00:19:41Somewhere over there.

00:19:42Spoken like a true mole.

00:19:47Ken?

00:19:48Congratulations.

00:19:49No way.

00:19:50I am the mole.

00:19:51I think I've played all of you guys relatively well.

00:19:53That's right.

00:19:54I blended in well enough just to last long enough

00:19:57with this quaint minutes.

00:19:58Konnichiwa.

00:19:59Ata shunamae wa Ken desu.

00:20:01Hello. My name is Ken.

00:20:02I'm 20 years old.

00:20:03I'm representing the state of Hawaii.

00:20:05I am a model, a college student,

00:20:07and a part-time behavioral therapist with younger kids.

00:20:09I've grown up in Asia, Europe, North America, the Middle East.

00:20:12I'm motivated to win the next real star

00:20:14because of my cultural ambiguity,

00:20:16and this is more than just about myself.

00:20:18I believe that I represent a whole group of people,

00:20:20and acting has been a large part of my background

00:20:23ever since I was young,

00:20:24and this is what I love.

00:20:25Congratulations on dodging everyone's guesses.

00:20:28You were the mole, but no one could find you.

00:20:30Ken's got the look.

00:20:31He's got the chops.

00:20:33I think he might have what it takes,

00:20:35but the road ahead is steep,

00:20:37and these other men will be looking

00:20:38to rip that dream away from Ken.

00:20:48All these small-armed gentlemen

00:20:51are going to be excited for this challenge

00:20:53because this icebreaker challenge

00:20:54will be putting their physical stamina to the test.

00:20:59For starting up will be Tyler and Wes.

00:21:02Let's go, Wes.

00:21:04I got my money on you, man.

00:21:06I'm going to come back for you someday.

00:21:08I love you, Caroline Mills.

00:21:10This is my military tech.

00:21:11I want you to have it.

00:21:12My name is Tyler Mata.

00:21:14I'm representing the state of Colorado.

00:21:15I'm currently working in commercial finance,

00:21:17actually just also got my real estate license as well.

00:21:20My previous career was modeling and acting.

00:21:22It was actually cut short because of COVID.

00:21:24I've always been kind of wanting to get back into it.

00:21:27This is kind of a door to get back into it.

00:21:29Do you make more money?

00:21:30No.

00:21:31No.

00:21:32It's good paying, but no, I don't.

00:21:34I actually made more money modeling and acting.

00:21:36Yeah.

00:21:37You really think you can beat me?

00:21:40You dirty poor little maggot.

00:21:42You think I'm some poor loser?

00:21:44Prove it.

00:21:45Cast the check.

00:21:46It's my pup and I can smell.

00:21:48Smell him.

00:21:49How much do you want with this baby?

00:21:51And two, she's not a nobody.

00:21:53Let's get it.

00:21:57Let's get it.

00:21:58Next up, Josh and Noah.

00:22:01All right.

00:22:02Three, two, one.

00:22:04I'm going to come back for you someday.

00:22:07I love you, Caroline.

00:22:08You really think you can beat me?

00:22:10You dirt poor little maggot.

00:22:12You think I'm some poor loser?

00:22:14Prove it.

00:22:15Physical stamina is an absolute must.

00:22:22I lost my mind.

00:22:24And that's why I married you.

00:22:26The biggest mistake of my entire life.

00:22:28Some actors have you.

00:22:29I'm going to come back for you someday.

00:22:31While others...

00:22:32She's not a nobody.

00:22:33Not so much.

00:22:34You know I'm technically your husband, right?

00:22:37Ten seconds.

00:22:38But my dad's friend Chris is a dill!

00:22:41Five, four, three, two, one, and time's up.

00:22:46And time's up.

00:22:47Woo!

00:22:48Let's go!

00:22:49Bro, that sucked.

00:22:52You guys ran through an entire vertical.

00:22:54Jesus.

00:22:55I've been doing verticals now for about three years.

00:22:59And I can say they've safely changed my life.

00:23:02You're my mate.

00:23:05I don't know who I'd be if I never found them.

00:23:08It's important for me to pair Jesse Nicole with contestants our viewers at home

00:23:11believe are worthy of winning a leading role with them.

00:23:14Woo!

00:23:15I got the packs, you know?

00:23:18They work.

00:23:19My name is Eric and I'm representing Oregon.

00:23:22I do a lot of different things.

00:23:23I have a small candy company.

00:23:25I stream online.

00:23:26I make money as a content creator.

00:23:28It's a little bit of everything.

00:23:29I grew up as a nerd and it really wasn't until after I graduated college that I started to embrace my identity.

00:23:36And that's what makes my story so unique is that I wasn't always that guy.

00:23:40And I believe my story is going to touch more hearts because of that.

00:23:43Because I know what it's like to be at the bottom and how difficult it is to get your way to the top.

00:23:48But it's very possible.

00:23:49I've never had this happen to me on a plane, but I've never met these two people next to me.

00:23:59And I got the middle seat, unfortunately, but the guy next to me on my left.

00:24:03Yo, what's up with this story time?

00:24:07We get it, dude.

00:24:08It's like, oh my God, dude.

00:24:10Like, coming out of a headache.

00:24:11It looks like we got a hater right here, bro.

00:24:12Don't look at the camera with a hater right now, bro.

00:24:14My name is Andrew Johnson.

00:24:16I am an actor.

00:24:18Professional.

00:24:19Do you feel like there's anyone that could be your biggest competitor?

00:24:22Are you worried at all?

00:24:24No.

00:24:25No.

00:24:26Why?

00:24:29Alright, boys.

00:24:30This one's called the Dance Memorization Challenge.

00:24:35So, does that make sense to everyone?

00:24:37I know.

00:24:38Oh, wow.

00:24:39Okay.

00:24:40I'll have to think about it.

00:24:43Every production has its divas.

00:24:45Looks like we may have found ours.

00:24:48Guys, I'm the problem on the set.

00:24:50I'm the bad boy.

00:24:52And at the end of the day, I'm the only one who's capable of winning this competition.

00:24:57Andrew, are you going to do this?

00:25:01No.

00:25:11The Alien

00:25:15I'm introducing something like you've never seen.

00:25:2024 of the hottest male talents in this country are competing for a lead role.

00:25:24And you decide who becomes…

00:25:27The next real star.

00:25:36I'm Nicole Maddux, an actress known for my work on Vertical series.

00:25:38I want a divorce.

00:25:39And I'm Jesse Morales an actor dancer most of you probably know me as Andrew Hills Chris Collins

00:25:46And this is the next real star

00:25:49This is the first ever vertical reality acting competition 24 men from across the country will be challenged putting their acting skills to the test

00:25:59But this isn't an ordinary audition. Oh, no, no, no, no

00:26:02We will be mentoring them to see who has what it takes to be a vertical star

00:26:06Make sure you're letting the person finish their thought slow down and mean it's gonna be really hard only one person can win though

00:26:15The prize of acting in a show with me or me. Yeah, we can both go on

00:26:19I don't know where you're from, but if you ain't first you're last. Okay, let's find the next real stuff

00:26:24But I'm about to be a real star

00:26:35Hello folks, I'm Kiki Frags and welcome to the competition

00:26:40My name is Joshua Vasconcelos. I'm representing the state of Iowa. I'm a hunter duck hunting deer hunting

00:26:46Doesn't matter what it is. If it flies it dies. If it runs we shoot. I

00:26:50I think what makes me stand out is living in the moment every door opens an opportunity and I'm pretty open to every opportunity that's there

00:26:59Now before we begin I would like to play a few icebreakers to loosen things up some ways that we can actually get to know each other a little bit better

00:27:07This will help dictate who you will be assigned to to be your mentor either Jesse or Nicole you guys ready?

00:27:15Yeah, we're ready. Good. Then who's ready to break the ice?

00:27:20This isn't just a regular casting call. This is a chance at stardom and for the first time

00:27:26the audience gets to choose who wins

00:27:30In this challenge two of you guys will be facing head-to-head reciting lines while arm wrestling each other

00:27:35The loser who cannot hold their strength or remember their line will have to drink. How does that sound?

00:27:40The lines you'll be reading are from iconic real short shows. I'm gonna come back for you. Someday. I love you. Carolyn Mills

00:27:50Our first two contestants are John Carlos and Jacob. I'm Jacob Robert Kuhn

00:27:56I'm representing Arizona. I have a Filipino background. So, you know, it was either sing dance or both

00:28:03I think I have the ability to win. I wouldn't mind bringing home the gold

00:28:06All right, gentlemen on the count of three you'll turn over the papers and begin the competition ready

00:28:13one two

00:28:18One two three

00:28:31But so is a muscular mind. Do you think I'm so poor little loser? Prove it. Cash is a check

00:28:38The line must be delivered perfectly every single time

00:28:51My name is Giancarlo Salazar. I represent Connecticut and I'm a registered nurse and I aspire to be Meryl Streep

00:28:58She is one of the best actresses of all time and she is able to portray any kind of character

00:29:13You dirt poor little maggot

00:29:20Congratulations Jacob on the win Giancarlo you have to have a drink

00:29:24Our next contestants are Pam and Drew also known as drinks Andrew. My name is Drew Tillman. I'm representing the state of Indiana

00:35:50I just I got the packs you know

00:35:52They work

00:35:53My name is Eric

00:35:54And I'm representing Oregon

00:35:55I do a lot of different things

00:35:56I have a small candy company

00:35:58I stream online

00:36:00I make money as a content creator

00:36:01It's a little bit of everything

00:36:03I grew up as a nerd

00:36:05And it really wasn't until after I graduated college

00:36:07That I started to embrace my identity

00:36:10And that's what makes my story so unique

00:36:12Is that I wasn't always that guy

00:36:14And I believe my story is going to touch more hearts because of that

00:36:17Because I know what it's like to be at the bottom

00:36:19And how difficult it is to get your way to the top

00:36:21But it's very possible

00:36:22I've never had this happen to me on a plane

00:36:30But I've never met these two people next to me

00:36:33And I got the middle seat unfortunately

00:36:35But the guy next to me on my left aisle side

00:36:37Yo what's up with this story time?

00:36:41We get it dude

00:36:42It's like oh my god dude

00:36:43Like coming out of a headache

00:36:44It looks like we got a hater right here bro

00:36:46Don't put the camera on the hater right now bro

00:36:48My name is Andrew Johnson

00:36:50I am an actor, professional

00:36:53Do you feel like there's anyone that could be your biggest competitor?

00:36:56Are you worried at all?

00:36:58No, no, why?

00:37:02All right boys

00:37:03This one's called the Dance Memorization Challenge

00:37:08So does that make sense to everyone?

00:37:10I know

00:37:13I'll have to think about it

00:37:14Every production has its divas

00:37:18Looks like we may have found ours

00:37:21Guys, I'm the problem on the set

00:37:23I'm the bad boy

00:37:25And at the end of the day

00:37:26I'm the only one who's capable of winning this competition

00:37:30Andrew, are you going to do this?

00:37:34No

00:37:44I'm introducing something like you've never seen

00:37:5324 of the hottest male talents in this country are competing for a lead role

00:37:57And you decide who becomes

00:38:00The next real star

00:38:07I'm Nicole Maddox

00:38:09An actress known for my work on Vertical Series

00:38:11I want a divorce

00:38:13And I'm Jesse Morales

00:38:14An actor, dancer

00:38:15Most of you probably know me as Andrew Hills, Chris Collins, Sylvie

00:38:20And this is the next real star

00:38:23This is the first ever vertical reality acting competition

00:38:2724 men from across the country will be challenged putting their acting skills to the test

00:38:33But this isn't an ordinary audition

00:38:34Oh no, no, no, no

00:38:35We will be mentoring them to see who has what it takes to be a vertical star

00:38:40Make sure you're letting the person finish their thought

00:38:42Slow down and mean it

00:38:44This is going to be really hard

00:38:45Only one person can win though

00:38:48The prize of acting in a show with me

00:38:50Or me

00:38:51Yeah, yeah

00:38:51We can both get one

00:38:53I don't know where you're from but if you ain't first you're last

00:38:55Okay

00:38:56Let's find the next real star

00:39:02But I'm about to be a real star

00:39:09Hello folks

00:39:09I'm Kiki Frags and welcome to the competition

00:39:12Let's go

00:39:14My name is Joshua Vasconcelos

00:39:15I'm representing the state of Iowa

00:39:17I'm a hunter

00:39:18Duck hunting

00:39:19Deer hunting

00:39:20Doesn't matter what it is

00:39:21If it flies it dies

00:39:22If it runs we shoot

00:39:24I think what makes me stand out is living in the moment

00:39:26Every door opens an opportunity

00:39:28And I'm pretty open to every opportunity that's there

00:39:33Now before we begin

00:39:34I would like to play a few icebreakers to loosen things up

00:39:37Some ways that we can actually get to know each other a little bit better

00:39:41This will help dictate who you will be assigned to to be your mentor

00:39:45Either Jesse or Nicole

00:39:48You guys ready?

00:39:48Yeah

00:39:49We're ready

00:39:49Good

00:39:50Then who's ready to break the ice?

00:39:53This isn't just a regular casting call

00:39:56This is a chance at stardom

00:39:58And for the first time

00:40:00The audience gets to choose who wins

00:40:03In this challenge two of you guys will be facing head to head

00:40:06Reciting lines while arm wrestling each other

00:40:09The loser who cannot hold their strength or remember their line will have to drink

00:40:13How does that sound?

00:40:14Let's do it

00:40:15Phenomenal

00:40:15Good

00:40:16I'm game

00:40:17The lines you'll be reading are from iconic real short shows

00:40:19I'm gonna come back for you someday

00:40:22I love you Carolyn Mills

00:40:24Our first two contestants are John Carlos and Jacob

00:40:28I'm Jacob Robert Kuhn

00:40:30I'm representing Arizona

00:40:31I have a Filipino background so you know it was either sing, dance or both

00:40:37I think I have the ability to win I wouldn't mind bringing home the gold

00:40:39All right gentlemen on the count of three you'll turn over the papers and begin the competition

00:40:45Ready?

00:40:47One

00:40:57I love you Caroline

00:40:58This is my military tag

00:41:00I want you to have it

00:41:01A muscular physique is a requirement for any real star

00:41:05But so is a muscular mind

00:41:06You think I'm so poor little loser?

00:41:09Prove it

00:41:09Cash is a check

00:41:10Baby

00:41:11Come on

00:41:11The line must be delivered perfectly every single time

00:41:16I said keep your fucking palms off my mate

00:41:20I lost my mind

00:41:21That's why I married you

00:41:23The biggest mistake of my life

00:41:25My name is Giancarlo Salazar

00:41:27I represent Connecticut and I'm a registered nurse

00:41:29And I aspire to be Meryl Streep

00:41:32She is one of the best actresses of all time

00:41:34And she is able to portray any kind of character

00:41:37I think the term for that would be a chameleon

00:41:40Come on

00:41:41Finish it

00:41:42Come on

00:41:47You dirt poor little maggot

00:41:52That's awesome performance right there

00:41:56Giancarlo

00:41:56You have to have a drink

00:41:58Our next contestants are

00:42:00Pam and Drew

00:42:01Also known as Drinks on Drew

00:42:03My name is Drew Tillman

00:42:04I'm representing the state of Indiana

00:42:06I'm serving and bartending at a sushi restaurant

00:42:09And actually for like a brief moment in Florida

00:42:11I was a male stripper

00:42:13Just for a little bit

00:42:14I just recently picked up modeling

00:42:17I do get a lot of comments you know on my looks

00:42:20And I think I have a unique energy to myself

00:42:25Go

00:42:27I'm gonna come back for you someday

00:42:28I love you Caroline

00:42:30I don't care who you stick with this marriage

00:42:32Come on

00:42:34My dad's friend is like a dill

00:42:37I'm not your boyfriend anymore okay

00:42:38And two

00:42:40She's not a nobody

00:42:41I'm gonna come back for you someday

00:42:42I love you Caroline Mills

00:42:49They are looking for that leading man

00:42:51They're looking for somebody who is polished professional

00:42:55Who shows up every day ready for adventure

00:42:57Someone who's ready to take action when needed

00:42:59All right boys that was well thought

00:43:00I think I'm sweating just from watching that

00:43:08So this one's called

00:43:10Who's the mole

00:43:11Let's play

00:43:13Well I play sports

00:43:15I'm around ice

00:43:16And I have a stick

00:43:17My name is Joseph Woods

00:43:19Representing New Hampshire

00:43:20Right now I'm currently not doing anything

00:43:24I've always been told that I'm very handsome

00:43:26And I look like Zac Efron

00:43:27What is something about you that would surprise people

00:43:30Oh it's classified

00:43:33I might also throw some punches

00:43:35Frequently in the cold

00:43:37And there's a pretty big fan section

00:43:39Some could say I'm a competitor

00:43:41I'm always looking to make a goal

00:43:43It won't take long for any real star to play someone trying to hide a secret

00:43:47Simon what's going on?

00:43:48Victoria I'm so sorry

00:43:52But I am the CEO of the Jones Group

00:43:56So there's one mole upon us

00:43:58I feel like you might be trying to confuse us though

00:44:00However

00:44:01Yes

00:44:01That's such a mole behavior again

00:44:03Come on

00:44:03He also has sunglasses on

00:44:05And that's his face

00:44:05Yeah

00:44:06And this guy has both sunglasses

00:44:08Avoiding eye contact

00:44:09My name is Hayden Green

00:44:11I am representing the state of Ohio

00:44:13And I'm a full-time social media influencer

00:44:16I'm used to being in front of the camera

00:44:18But filming for YouTube compared to filming for a show is a little different

00:44:22I played two years of college basketball

00:44:24So I didn't model

00:44:25I didn't act growing up at all

00:44:27And then I got into a bodybuilding

00:44:29And that led me to signing with some modeling agencies

00:44:33My biggest asset is never taking an L as a loss

00:44:37I think L stands for lesson learned

00:44:39And I am willing to fail a thousand times to reach my dream

00:44:43I feel like the mole is somewhere

00:44:46Oh

00:44:47Somewhere over here

00:44:47Somewhere over there

00:44:48Spoken like a true mole

00:44:49Yeah

00:44:49Ken

00:44:54Congratulations

00:44:55No way

00:44:56I am the mole

00:44:57I think I've played all of you guys relatively well

00:44:59That's right

00:45:00I blended in well enough just to last long enough with this quaint minutes

00:45:08Hello my name is Ken

00:45:09I'm 20 years old

00:45:10I'm representing the state of Hawaii

00:45:12I am a model

00:45:13A college student

00:45:13And a part-time behavioral therapist with younger kids

00:45:16I've grown up in Asia, Europe, North America, the Middle East

00:45:19I'm motivated to win the next real star because of my cultural ambiguity

00:45:23And this is more than just about myself

00:45:25I believe that I represent a whole group of people

00:45:27And acting has been a large part of my background ever since I was young

00:45:31And this is what I love

00:45:32Congratulations on dodging everyone's guesses

00:45:35You were the mole but no one could find you

00:45:37Ken's got the look

00:45:38He's got the chops

00:45:40I think he might have what it takes

00:45:42But the road ahead is steep

00:45:44And these other men will be looking to rip that dream away from Ken

00:45:56All these small armed gentlemen are going to be excited for this challenge

00:45:59Because this icebreaker challenge will be putting their physical stamina to the test

00:46:05Where starting up will be Tyler and Wes

00:46:10Let's go Wes, I got my money on you man

00:46:11I'm going to come back for you someday

00:46:19My name is Tyler Mata

00:46:20I'm representing the state of Colorado

00:46:22I'm currently working in commercial finance

00:46:24I actually just also got my real estate license as well

00:46:27My previous career was modeling and acting

00:46:29It was actually cut short because of COVID

00:46:31I've always been kind of wanting to get back into it

00:46:34This is kind of a door to get back into it

00:46:36Do you make more money with financial

00:46:38No

00:46:39No, it's good paying

00:46:40But no I don't

00:46:40I actually made more money modeling and acting

00:46:46You really think you can beat me you dirty poor little maggot

00:46:49You think I'm some poor loser

00:46:51Prove it

00:46:52Cast the check

00:47:15You really think you can beat me?

00:47:17You dirt poor little maggot

00:47:19You think I'm some poor loser?

00:47:21Prove it

00:47:22Physical stamina is an absolute must

00:47:29I've lost my mind

00:47:31And that's why I married you

00:47:33The biggest mistake of my entire life

00:47:35Some actress have you

00:47:36I'm going to come back for you someday

00:47:38While others

00:54:47Just for a little bit

00:54:49I just recently picked up modeling

00:54:50I do get a lot of comments you know on my looks

00:55:22They are looking for that leading man

00:55:25They're looking for somebody who

00:55:26Is polished professional

00:55:28Who shows up every day ready for adventure

00:55:30Someone who's ready to take action when needed

00:55:33All right boys that was well fought

00:55:34I think I'm sweating just from watching that

00:55:42So this one's called

00:55:43Who's the mole

00:55:44Let's play

00:55:47Well I play sports

00:55:48I'm around ice

00:55:50And I have a stick

00:55:51My name is Joseph Woods

00:55:52Representing New Hampshire

00:55:54Right now I'm currently not doing anything

00:55:57I've always been told that I'm very handsome

00:55:59And I look like Zac Efron

00:56:00What is something about you that would surprise people?

00:56:02Oh it's classified

00:56:07I might also throw some punches

00:56:09Frequently in the cold

00:56:10And there's a pretty big fan section

00:56:12Some could say I'm a competitor

00:56:14I'm always looking to make a goal

00:56:16It won't take long for any real star to play someone trying to hide a secret

00:56:20Simon what's going on?

00:56:23Victoria I'm so sorry

00:56:25But I am the CEO of the Jones Group

00:56:30So there's one mole upon us

00:56:31I feel like you might be trying to confuse us though

00:56:33However

00:56:34Yes

00:56:35That's such a mole behavior again

00:56:36Come on

00:56:37He also has sunglasses on

00:56:38And that's a little

00:56:39Yeah

00:56:39This guy has full sunglasses

00:56:41Avoiding eye contact

00:56:42I feel like

00:56:43My name is Hayden Green

00:56:44I am representing the state of Ohio

00:56:46And I'm a full-time social media influencer

00:56:49I used to being in front of the camera

00:56:51But filming for YouTube compared to filming for a show is a little different

00:56:55I played two years of college basketball

00:56:57So I didn't model

00:56:58I didn't act growing up at all

00:57:01And then I got into a bodybuilding

00:57:03And that led me to signing with some modeling agencies

00:57:06My biggest asset is never taking an L as a loss

00:57:10I think L stands for lesson learned

00:57:12And I am willing to fail a thousand times to reach my dream

00:57:16I feel like the mole is somewhere

00:57:21Spoken like a true mole

00:57:26Ken

00:57:27Congratulations

00:57:28No way

00:57:29Whoa

00:57:29I am the mole

00:57:30I think I've played all of you guys relatively well

00:57:33That's right

00:57:34I blended in well enough just to last long enough with this quaint minutes

00:57:38Hello my name is Ken

00:57:42I'm 20 years old

00:57:43I'm representing the state of Hawaii

00:57:45I am a model

00:57:46A college student

00:57:47And a part-time behavioral therapist with younger kids

00:57:49I've grown up in Asia, Europe, North America, the Middle East

00:57:53I'm motivated to win the next real star because of my cultural ambiguity

00:57:56And this is more than just about myself

00:57:58I believe that I represent a whole group of people

00:58:01And acting has been a large part of my background ever since I was young

00:58:04And this is what I love

00:58:06Congratulations on dodging everyone's guesses

00:58:08You were the mole but no one could find you

00:58:10Ken's got the look

00:58:12He's got the chops

00:58:13I think he might have what it takes

00:58:15But the road ahead is steep

00:58:17And these other men will be looking to rip that dream away from Ken

00:58:29All these small-armed gentlemen are going to be excited for this challenge

00:58:33Because this icebreaker challenge will be putting their physical stamina to the test

00:58:38Where starting up will be Tyler and Wes

00:58:43Let's go Wes, I got my money on you man

00:58:46I'm gonna come back for you someday

00:58:48I love you Caroline Mills

00:58:50This is my military tech

00:58:51I want you to have it

00:58:52My name is Tyler Mata

00:58:53I'm representing the state of Colorado

00:58:55I'm currently working in commercial finance

00:58:57I actually just also got my real estate license as well

00:59:00My previous career was modeling and acting

00:59:02It was actually cut short because of COVID

00:59:04I've always been kind of wanting to get back into it

00:59:07This is kind of a door to get back into it

00:59:09Do you make more money?

00:59:10No

00:59:11No, it's good paying but no I don't

00:59:14I actually made more money modeling and acting

00:59:19You really think you can beat me?

00:59:20You dirty poor little maggot

00:59:23You think I'm some poor loser?

00:59:24Prove it, cast a check

00:59:26It's my pup and I can smell, smell him

00:59:29How much do you want with this baby?

00:59:31And two, she's not a nobody

00:59:37Let's get it

00:59:39Next up, Josh and Noah

00:59:41All right

00:59:41Three, two, one

00:59:45I'm gonna come back for you someday

00:59:47I love you Caroline

00:59:48You really think you can beat me?

00:59:50You dirt poor little maggot

00:59:52You think I'm some poor loser?

00:59:55Prove it

00:59:55Physical stamina is an absolute must

01:00:02I lost my mind

01:00:04And that's why I married you

01:00:06The biggest mistake of my entire life

01:00:09Some actress had me

01:00:10I'm gonna come back for you someday

01:00:11While others

01:00:12She's not a nobody

01:00:13Not so much

01:00:14Okay

01:00:14You know I'm technically your husband, right?

01:00:17Ten seconds

01:00:18But my dad's friend Chris is a dill

01:00:21Five

01:00:22Four

01:00:23No

01:00:23I'm not your boyfriend

01:00:24Two

01:00:24Okay

01:00:25One

01:00:26And time's up

01:00:27Let's go

01:00:28Let's go

01:00:29Bro, that sucked

01:00:32You guys ran through an entire vertical, Jesus

01:00:35I've been doing verticals now for about three years

01:00:38And I can say they've safely changed my life

01:00:42You're my mate

01:00:44I don't know who I'd be if I never found them

01:00:47It's important for me to pair Jesse McColl with contestants our viewers at home

01:00:51Believe are worthy of winning a leading role with them

01:00:56I just I got the packs you know

01:00:58They work

01:00:59My name is Eric

01:01:00And I'm representing Oregon

01:01:02I do a lot of different things

01:01:03I have a small candy company

01:01:05I stream online

01:01:07I make money as a content creator

01:01:08It's a little bit of everything

01:01:10I grew up as a nerd

01:01:11And it really wasn't until after I graduated college that I started to embrace my identity

01:01:17And that's what makes my story so unique

01:01:19Is that I wasn't always that guy

01:01:20And I believe my story is going to touch more hearts because of that

01:01:24Because I know what it's like to be at the bottom

01:01:26And how difficult it is to get your way to the top

01:01:28But it's very possible

01:01:33I've never had this happen to me on a plane

01:01:37But I've never met these two people next to me

01:01:39And I got the middle seat unfortunately

01:01:41But the guy next to me on my left aisle side

01:01:44Yo what's up with this story time?

01:01:47We get it dude

01:01:48It's like oh my god dude

01:01:50Like coming out of a headache

01:01:51It looks like we got a hater right here bro

01:01:52Don't look at the camera on the hater right now bro

01:01:55My name is Andrew Johnson

01:01:57I am an actor

01:01:59Professional

01:01:59Do you feel like there's anyone that could be your biggest competitor?

01:02:02Are you worried at all?

01:02:05No

01:02:06Why?

01:02:09All right boys

01:02:10This one's called the dance memorization challenge

01:02:15So does that make sense to everyone?

01:02:17I know

01:02:18Oh wow

01:02:19Okay

01:02:20I'll have to think about it

01:02:23Every production has its divas

01:02:24Looks like we may have found ours

01:02:28Guys

01:02:29I'm the problem on the set

01:02:30I'm the bad boy

01:02:30And at the end of the day

01:02:33I'm the only one who's capable of winning this competition

01:02:37Andrew

01:02:37Are you going to do this?

01:02:41No

01:02:41Now

01:02:54I'm introducing something like you've never seen

01:02:5924 of the hottest male talents in this country are competing for a lead role

01:03:03And you decide who becomes

01:03:06The next real star

01:03:14I'm Nicole Maddox

01:03:15An actress known for my work on vertical series

01:03:17I want a divorce

01:03:19And I'm Jesse Morales

01:03:20An actor

01:03:21Dancer

01:03:21Most of you probably know me as Andrew Hills

01:03:24Chris Collins

01:03:25And this is the next real star

01:03:29Action

01:03:29This is the first ever vertical reality acting competition

01:03:3324 men from across the country will be challenged putting their acting skills to the test

01:03:39But this isn't an ordinary audition

01:03:40Oh no no no no

01:03:41We will be mentoring them to see who has what it takes to be a vertical star

01:03:46Make sure you're letting the person finish their thought

01:03:48Slow down and mean it

01:03:50This is going to be really hard

01:03:51Only one person can win though

01:03:54The prize of acting in a show with me

01:03:56Or me

01:03:57Yeah yeah

01:03:57We can both get one

01:03:59Uh I don't know where you're from but if you ain't first you're last

01:04:01Okay

01:04:02Let's find the next real star

01:04:08But I'm about to be a real star bro

01:04:15Hello folks

01:04:16I'm Kiki Frags and welcome to the competition

01:04:24Duck hunting

01:04:25Deer hunting

01:04:26Doesn't matter what it is

01:04:27If it flies it dies

01:04:28If it runs we shoot

01:04:30I think what makes me stand out is living in the moment

01:04:32Every door opens an opportunity

01:04:34And I'm pretty open to every opportunity that's there

01:04:39Now before we begin

01:04:40I would like to play a few icebreakers to loosen things up

01:04:43Some ways that we can actually get to know each other a little bit better

01:04:46This will help dictate who you will be assigned to to be your mentor

01:04:52Either Jesse or Nicole

01:04:54You guys ready?

01:04:54Yeah we're ready

01:04:56Good

01:04:56Then who's ready to break the ice?

01:05:02This is a chance at stardom

01:05:04And for the first time

01:05:06The audience gets to choose who wins

01:05:10In this challenge two of you guys will be facing head to head

01:05:13Reciting lines while arm wrestling each other

01:05:15The loser who cannot hold their strength or remember their line will have to drink

01:09:17I'm representing the state of Ohio

01:09:19And I'm a full-time social media influencer

01:09:22I used to being in front of the camera

01:09:24But filming for YouTube

01:09:25Compared to filming for a show

01:09:27Is a little different

01:09:28I played two years of college basketball

01:09:30So I didn't model

01:09:31I didn't act growing up at all

01:09:34And then I got into a bodybuilding

01:09:35And that led me to signing with some modeling agencies

01:09:39My biggest asset is never taking an L as a loss

01:09:43I think L stands for lesson learned

01:09:45And I am willing to fail a thousand times to reach my dream

01:09:49I feel like the mole is somewhere

01:09:52Oh

01:09:53Somewhere over here

01:09:54Somewhere over there

01:09:54Spoken like a true mole

01:09:59Ken

01:10:00Congratulations

01:10:01No way

01:10:02I am the mole

01:10:03I think I've played all of you guys relatively well

01:10:06That's right

01:10:07I blended in well enough

01:10:08Just to last long enough with this quaint minutes

01:10:14Hello my name is Ken

01:10:15I'm 20 years old

01:10:16I'm representing the state of Hawaii

01:10:18I am a model

01:10:19A college student

01:10:19And a part-time behavioral therapist with younger kids

01:10:22I've grown up in Asia, Europe, North America, the Middle East

01:10:25I'm motivated to win the next real star

01:10:27Because of my cultural ambiguity

01:10:29And this is more than just about myself

01:10:31I believe that I represent a whole group of people

01:10:33And acting has been a large part of my background

01:10:36Ever since I was young

01:10:37And this is what I love

01:10:38Congratulations on dodging everyone's guesses

01:10:41You were the mole

01:10:42But no one could find you

01:10:43Ken's got the look

01:10:44He's got the chops

01:10:46I think he might have what it takes

01:10:48But the road ahead is steep

01:10:50And these other men will be looking to rip that dream away from Ken

01:10:53All these small-armed gentlemen are going to be excited for this challenge

01:11:06Because this icebreaker challenge will be putting their physical stamina to the test

01:11:11Where starting up will be Tyler and Wes

01:11:15I'm gonna come back for you someday

01:11:21I love you Caroline Mills

01:11:23This is my military tech

01:11:24I want you to have it

01:11:25My name is Tyler Mata

01:11:27I'm representing the state of Colorado

01:11:28I'm currently working in commercial finance

01:11:30I actually just also got my real estate license as well

01:11:33My previous career was modeling and acting

01:11:35It was actually cut short because of COVID

01:11:37I've always been kind of wanting to get back into it

01:11:40This is kind of a door to get back into it

01:11:42Do you make more money?

01:11:44No

01:11:45No, it's good paying

01:11:46But no, I don't

01:11:47I actually made more money modeling and acting

01:11:52You really think you can beat me?

01:11:53You dirty poor little maggot

01:11:55You think I'm some poor loser?

01:11:57Prove it

01:11:58Cast the check

01:11:59It's my pup and I can smell

01:12:01Smell him

01:12:02How much do you want with this baby?

01:12:03And two, she's not a nobody

01:12:10Let's get it

01:12:11Next up, Josh and Noah

01:12:13All right

01:12:14Three

01:12:15Two

01:12:16One

01:12:18I'm gonna come back for you someday

01:12:20I love you Caroline

01:12:21You really think you can beat me?

01:12:23You dirt poor little maggot

01:12:25You think I'm some poor loser?

01:12:27Prove it

01:12:28Physical stamina is an absolute must

01:12:35I lost my mind

01:12:37And that's why I married you

01:12:39The biggest mistake of my entire life

01:12:41Some actress has it

01:12:43I'm gonna come back for you someday

01:12:44While others

01:12:45She's not a nobody

01:12:46Not so much

01:12:48You know I'm technically your husband, right?

01:12:50Ten seconds

01:12:51But my dad's friend Chris is a dill

01:12:53Five

01:12:55Four

01:12:55No

01:12:56Three

01:12:56I'm not your boyfriend

01:12:57Two

01:12:57Okay

01:12:58One

01:12:58She's got it

01:12:59And time's up

01:13:00Let's go

01:13:01Let's go

01:13:02Bro that sucked

01:13:05You guys ran through an entire vertical

01:13:07Jesus

01:13:08I've been doing verticals now for about three years

01:13:11And I can say they've safely changed my life

01:13:15You're my mate

01:13:17I don't know who I'd be if I never found them

01:13:20It's important for me to pair Jesse Nicole with contestants our viewers at home

01:13:24Believe are worthy of winning a leading role with them

01:13:26I just I got the pecs

01:13:31You know they work

01:13:32My name is Eric and I'm representing Oregon

01:13:35I do a lot of different things

01:13:36I have a small candy company

01:13:38I stream online

01:13:39I make money as a content creator

01:13:41It's a little bit of everything

01:13:43I grew up as a nerd

01:13:44And it really wasn't until after I graduated college that I started to embrace my identity

01:13:49And that's what makes my story so unique

01:13:51Is that I wasn't always that guy

01:13:53And I believe my story is going to touch more hearts because of that

01:13:57Because I know what it's like to be at the bottom

01:13:58And how difficult it is to get your way to the top

01:14:01But it's very possible

01:14:08I've never had this happen to me on a plane

01:14:10But I've never met these two people next to me

01:14:12And I got the middle seat unfortunately

01:14:14But the guy next to me on my left

01:14:16Yo what's up with this story time?

01:14:20We get it dude

01:14:21It's like oh my god dude

01:14:23Like coming out of a headache

01:14:24It looks like we got a hater right here bro

01:14:25Don't look at the camera with a hater right now bro

01:14:28My name is Andrew Johnson

01:14:30I am an actor

01:14:31Professional

01:14:32Do you feel like there's anyone that could be your biggest competitor?

01:14:35Are you worried at all?

01:14:37No

01:14:38No

01:14:39Why?

01:14:40All right boys

01:14:43This one's called the dance memorization challenge

01:14:48So does that make sense to everyone?

01:14:50I know

01:14:50I'll have to think about it

01:14:55Every production has its divas

01:14:57Looks like we may have found ours

01:15:01Guys

01:15:01I'm the problem on the set

01:15:02I'm the bad boy

01:15:05And at the end of the day

01:15:06I'm the only one who's capable of winning this competition

01:15:09Andrew

01:15:10Are you going to do this?

01:15:14No

01:15:14To be continued-

01:15:28I'm introducing something like you've never seen

01:15:31I'm introducing something like you've never seen

01:15:3224 of the hottest male talents in this country are competing for a lead role

01:15:36And you decide who becomes the next real star.

01:15:47I'm Nicole Maddox, an actress known for my work on Vertical Series.

01:15:51I want a divorce.

01:15:52And I'm Jesse Morales, an actor, dancer.

01:15:55Most of you probably know me as Andrew Hills, Chris Collins, Sylvia.

01:16:00And this is the next real star, actually.

01:16:03This is the first ever vertical reality acting competition.

01:16:0724 men from across the country will be challenged putting their acting skills to the test.

01:16:12But this isn't an ordinary audition.

01:16:14Oh, no, no, no, no.

01:16:15We will be mentoring them to see who has what it takes to be a vertical star.

01:16:20Make sure you're letting the person finish their thought.

01:16:22Slow down and mean it.

01:16:23This is going to be really hard.

01:16:25Only one person can win, though.

01:16:28The prize of acting in a show with me.

01:16:30Or me.

01:16:30Yeah, yeah, we can both get one.

01:16:32I don't know where you're from, but if you ain't first, you're last.

01:16:35Okay.

01:16:35Let's find the next real star.

01:16:42But I'm about to be a real star, bro.

01:16:48Hello, folks.

01:16:49I'm Kiki Frags, and welcome to the competition.

01:16:52Let's go.

01:16:53My name is Joshua Vasconcelos.

01:16:55I'm representing the state of Iowa.

01:16:57I'm a hunter, duck hunting, deer hunting.

01:17:00It doesn't matter what it is.

01:17:01If it flies, it dies.

01:17:02If it runs, we shoot.

01:17:04I think what makes me stand out is living in the moment.

01:17:06Every door opens an opportunity, and I'm pretty open to every opportunity that's there.

01:17:11Now, before we begin, I would like to play a few icebreakers to loosen things up.

01:17:17Some ways that we can actually get to know each other a little bit better.

01:17:20This will help dictate who you will be assigned to to be your mentor.

01:17:25Either Jesse or Nicole.

01:17:27You guys ready?

01:17:28Yeah, we're ready.

01:17:29Good.

01:17:30Then who's ready to break the ice?

01:17:33This isn't just a regular casting call.

01:17:36This is a chance at stardom.

01:17:38And for the first time, the audience gets to choose who wins.

01:17:43In this challenge, two of you guys will be facing head-to-head, reciting lines while arm-wrestling

01:17:48each other.

01:17:49The loser who cannot hold their strength or remember their line will have to drink.

01:17:53How does that sound?

01:17:54Let's do it.

01:17:55Phenomenal.

01:17:55Good.

01:17:55I'm game.

01:17:56The lines you'll be reading are from iconic real short shows.

01:17:59I'm going to come back for you someday.

01:18:02I love you, Carolyn Mills.

01:18:04Our first two contestants are John Carlos and Jacob.

01:18:07I'm Jacob Robert Kuhn.

01:18:09I'm representing Arizona.

01:18:11I have a Filipino background, so, you know, it was either sing, dance, or both.

01:18:16I think I have the ability to win.

01:18:18I wouldn't mind bringing home the gold.

01:18:21All right, gentlemen.

01:18:21On the count of three, you'll turn over the papers and begin the competition.

01:18:25Ready?

01:18:27One.

01:18:28Two.

01:18:29Three.

01:18:30I'm going to come back for you someday.

01:18:37I love you, Caroline.

01:18:38This is my military tag.

01:18:40I want you to have it.

01:18:41A muscular physique is a requirement for any real star, but so is a muscular mind.

01:18:46You think I'm so poor, little loser?

01:18:48Prove it.

01:18:49Cash is a check.

01:18:50Baby!

01:18:50Come on!

01:18:51The line must be delivered perfectly every single time.

01:18:55I said, keep your fucking bones off my mate.

01:18:59I lost my mind.

01:19:01That's why I married you.

01:19:02The biggest mistake of my life.

01:19:04My name is Giancarlo Salazar.

01:19:06I represent Connecticut, and I'm a registered nurse, and I aspire to be Meryl Streep.

01:19:11She is one of the best actresses of all time, and she is able to portray any kind of character.

01:19:16I think the term for that would be a chameleon.

01:19:18You dirt poor little maggot.

01:19:31That's an awesome performance right there.

01:19:33Congratulations, Jacob, on the win.

01:19:36Giancarlo, you have to have a drink.

01:19:38Our next contestants are Pam and Drew, also known as Drinks on Drew.

01:19:43My name is Drew Tillman.

01:19:44I'm representing the state of Indiana.

01:19:45I'm serving and bartending at a sushi restaurant.

01:19:49And actually, for like a brief moment in Florida, I was a male stripper.

01:19:53Just for a little bit.

01:19:55I just recently picked up modeling.

01:19:57I do get a lot of comments, you know, on my looks.

01:20:00And I think I have a unique energy to myself.

01:20:04Go!

01:20:06I'm going to come back for you someday.

01:20:08I love you, Caroline.

01:20:09I don't care who you sleep with this marriage.

01:20:12Come on!

01:20:13My dad's friend is like a dill.

01:20:15I'm not your boyfriend anymore, okay?

01:20:18And two, she's not a nobody.

01:20:21I'm going to come back for you someday.

01:20:22I love you, Caroline Mills.

01:20:25Oh!

01:20:28They are looking for that leading man.

01:20:31They're looking for somebody who is polished, professional,

01:20:34who shows up every day ready for adventure.

01:20:37Someone who's ready to take action when needed.

01:20:39All right, boys, that was well fought.

01:20:40I think I'm sweating just from watching that.

01:20:41That's just a style.

01:20:48So this one's called, Who's the Mole?

01:20:51Let's play.

01:20:51That's just a style.

01:20:53Well, I play sports.

01:20:55I'm around ice.

01:20:56And I have a stick.

01:20:57My name is Joseph Woods.

01:20:59Representing New Hampshire.

01:21:00Right now, I'm currently not doing anything.

01:21:03I've always been told that I'm very handsome,

01:21:05and I look like Zac Efron.

01:21:07What is something about you that would surprise people?

01:21:10Oh, it's classified.

01:21:13I might also throw some punches.

01:21:15Frequently in the cold,

01:21:16and there's a pretty big fan section.

01:21:19Some could say I'm a competitor.

01:21:21I'm always looking to make a goal.

01:21:22It won't take long for any real star to play someone trying to hide a secret.

01:21:27Simon, what's going on?

01:21:29Victoria, I'm so sorry.

01:21:32But I am the CEO of the Jones Group.

01:21:36So there's one mole upon us.

01:21:38I feel like you might be trying to confuse us, though.

01:21:40However, I don't know.

01:21:41Yeah.

01:21:41That's such a moat behavior again.

01:21:43Come on, go.

01:21:43He also has sunglasses on, and that's a real star.

01:21:45Yeah.

01:21:46And this guy has both sunglasses.

01:21:48Avoiding eye contact.

01:21:49My name is Hayden Green.

01:21:51I'm representing the state of Ohio,

01:21:53and I'm a full-time social media influencer.

01:21:56I used to be an info on the camera,

01:22:05I didn't act growing up at all.

01:22:07And then I got into a bodybuilding,

01:22:09and that led me to signing with some modeling agencies.

01:22:12My biggest asset is never taking an L as a loss.

01:22:17I think L stands for lesson learned,

01:22:18and I am willing to fail a thousand times to reach my dream.

01:22:23I feel like the moat is somewhere.

01:22:26Oh.

01:22:27Somewhere over there.

01:22:28Spoken like a true moat.

01:22:33Ken, congratulations.

01:22:35No way.

01:22:36I am the moat.

01:22:37I think I played all of you guys relatively well.

01:22:39That's great.

01:22:40I blended in well enough just to last long enough with this Quaint Minutes.

01:22:44Hello, my name is Ken.

01:22:46I am 20 years old.

01:23:04I believe that I represent a whole group of people, and acting has been a large part of my background ever since I was young, and this is what I love.

01:23:11Congratulations on dodging everyone's guesses.

01:23:14You were the mole, but no one could find you.

01:23:16Ken's got the look.

01:23:17He's got the chops.

01:23:18I think he might have what it takes, but the road ahead is steep, and these other men will be looking to rip that dream away from Ken.

01:23:25All these small-armed gentlemen are going to be excited for this challenge because this icebreaker challenge will be putting their physical stamina to the test.

01:23:42Who are starting up will be Tyler and Wes.

01:23:49Let's go, Wes.

01:23:50I got my money on you, man.

01:23:52I'm going to come back for you someday.

01:23:54I love you, Caroline Mills.

01:24:19It's good paying, but no, I don't.

01:24:20I actually made more money modeling and acting.

01:24:22Yeah.

01:24:23You really think you can beat me, you dirty poor little maggot?

01:24:28You think I'm some poor loser?

01:24:30Prove it.

01:24:31Cast a check.

01:24:32It's my pup and I can smell him.

01:24:35How much do you want with this baby?

01:24:37I can too.

01:24:38She's not a nobody.

01:24:40Hey!

01:24:41Let's go!

01:24:42Let's go!

01:24:43Let's get it.

01:24:44Let's get it.

01:24:45Next up, Josh and Noah.

01:24:47Alright.

01:24:48Three.

01:24:49Two.

01:24:50One.

01:24:51I'm gonna come back for you someday.

01:24:53I love you, Caroline.

01:24:54You really think you can beat me?

01:24:56You dirt poor little maggot.

01:24:58You think I'm some poor loser?

01:25:00Prove it.

01:25:01Physical stamina is an absolute must.

01:25:08I lost my mind.

01:25:10And that's why I married you.

01:25:12The biggest mistake of my entire life.

01:25:14Some actors have me.

01:25:15I'm gonna come back for you someday.

01:25:17While others...

01:25:18She's not a nobody.

01:25:19Not so much.

01:25:20You know I'm technically your husband, right?

01:25:23Ten seconds.

01:25:24But my dad's friend, Chris, is a dill!

01:25:27Five.

01:25:28Four.

01:25:29Three.

01:25:30No, I'm not your boyfriend.

01:25:31Two.

01:25:32One.

01:25:33And time's up.

01:25:34Let's go!

01:25:35Bro, that sucked.

01:25:38You guys ran through an entire vertical.

01:25:40Jesus.

01:25:41I've been doing verticals now for about three years.

01:25:45And I can say they've safely changed my life.

01:25:48You're my mate.

01:25:50I don't know who I'd be if I never found them.

01:25:53It's important for me to pair Jesse Nicole with contestants our viewers at home believe are worthy of winning a leading role with them.

01:26:03I just, I got the packs, you know?

01:26:04They work.

01:26:05My name is Eric and I'm representing Oregon.

01:26:08I do a lot of different things.

01:26:09I have a small candy company.

01:26:11I stream online.

01:26:12I make money as a content creator.

01:26:14It's a little bit of everything.

01:26:15I grew up as a nerd and it really wasn't until after I graduated college that I started to embrace my identity.

01:26:22And that's what makes my story so unique is that I wasn't always that guy.

01:26:26And I believe my story is going to touch more hearts because of that.

01:26:29Because I know what it's like to be at the bottom and how difficult it is to get your way to the top.

01:26:34But it's very possible.

01:26:41I've never had this happen to me on a plane, but I've never met these two people next to me.

01:26:45And I got the middle seat, unfortunately.

01:26:47But the guy next to me on my left.

01:26:49Yo, what's up with this story time?

01:26:53We get it, dude.

01:26:54It's like, oh my God, dude.

01:26:56Like, I'm gonna have a headache.

01:26:57It looks like we got a hater right here, bro.

01:26:58Don't look at the hater right now, bro.

01:27:00My name is Andrew Johnson.

01:27:02I am an actor.

01:27:04Professional.

01:27:05Do you feel like there's anyone that could be your biggest competitor?

01:27:08Are you worried at all?

01:27:10No.

01:27:11No.

01:27:12Why?

01:27:15All right, boys.

01:27:16This one's called the Dance Memorization Challenge.

01:27:21So, does that make sense to everyone?

01:27:23I know.

01:27:24Oh, wow.

01:27:25Okay.

01:27:26I'll have to think about it.

01:27:28Every production has its divas.

01:27:30Looks like we may have found ours.

01:27:32Guys, I'm the problem on the set.

01:27:35I'm the bad boy.

01:27:37And at the end of the day, I'm the only one who's capable of winning this competition.

01:27:42Andrew, are you going to do this?

01:27:46No.
