Transcript

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

00:00:1024 of the hottest male talents in this country are competing for a lead role.

00:00:14And you decide who becomes the next real star.

00:00:19I'm introducing a new thing.

00:00:24I'm Nicole Maddox, an actress known for my work on vertical series.

00:00:28I want a divorce.

00:00:30And I'm Jesse Morales, an actor, dancer.

00:00:32Most of you probably know me as Andrew Hills, Chris Collins, Sylvia.

00:00:37And this is the next real star.

00:00:40This is the first ever vertical reality acting competition.

00:00:4424 men from across the country will be challenged putting their acting skills to the test.

00:00:49But this isn't an ordinary audition.

00:00:51Oh, no, no, no, no.

00:00:52We will be mentoring them to see who has what it takes to be a vertical star.

00:00:57Make sure you're letting the person finish their thought.

00:00:59Slow down and mean it.

00:01:00This is going to be really hard.

00:01:02Only one person can win, though.

00:01:05The prize of acting in a show with me.

00:01:07Or me.

00:01:08Yeah, yeah. We can both get one.

00:01:09I don't know where you're from, but if you ain't first, you're last.

00:01:12Okay.

00:01:13Let's find the next real star.

00:01:14But I'm about to be a real star.

00:01:21Hello, folks.

00:01:26I'm Kiki Frags, and welcome to the competition.

00:01:29Let's go.

00:01:30My name's Joshua Vasconcelos.

00:01:32I'm representing the state of Iowa.

00:01:34I'm a hunter, duck hunting, deer hunting.

00:01:37Doesn't matter what it is.

00:01:38If it flies, it dies.

00:01:39If it runs, we shoot.

00:01:40I think what makes me stand out is living in the moment.

00:01:43Every door opens an opportunity, and I'm pretty open to every opportunity that's there.

00:01:49Now, before we begin, I would like to play a few icebreakers to loosen things up.

00:01:54Some ways that we can actually get to know each other a little bit better.

00:01:57This will help dictate who you will be assigned to to be your mentor.

00:02:02Either Jesse or Nicole.

00:02:04You guys ready?

00:02:05Yeah, we're ready.

00:02:06Good.

00:02:07Then who's ready to break the ice?

00:02:09This isn't just a regular casting call.

00:02:13This is a chance at stardom.

00:02:15And for the first time, the audience gets to choose who wins.

00:02:20In this challenge, two of you guys will be facing head-to-head, reciting lines while arm wrestling each other.

00:02:26The loser who cannot hold their strength or remember their line will have to drink.

00:02:30How does that sound?

00:02:31Let's do it.

00:02:32Phenomenal.

00:02:33The lines you'll be reading are from iconic real short shows.

00:02:36I'm going to come back for you someday.

00:02:39I love you, Carolyn Mills.

00:02:41Our first two contestants are John Carlos and Jacob.

00:02:44I'm Jacob Robert Kuhn.

00:02:46I'm representing Arizona.

00:02:48I have a Filipino background.

00:02:50So, you know, it was either sing, dance, or both.

00:02:53I think I have the ability to win.

00:02:55I wouldn't mind bringing home the gold.

00:02:58All right, gentlemen.

00:02:59On the count of three, you'll turn over the papers and begin the competition.

00:03:02Ready?

00:03:03One.

00:03:04Two.

00:03:09One.

00:03:10Two.

00:03:11Three.

00:03:12I'm going to come back for you someday.

00:03:13I love you, Carolyn.

00:03:15This is my military tag.

00:03:16I want you to have it.

00:03:17A muscular physique is a requirement for any real star.

00:03:21But so is a muscular mind.

00:03:23You think I'm so poor, little loser?

00:03:25Prove it.

00:03:26Cash is a check.

00:03:27Baby!

00:03:28Come on!

00:03:29The line must be delivered perfectly every single time.

00:03:32I said keep your fucking paws off my mate.

00:03:36I lost my mind.

00:03:37That's why I married you.

00:03:39The biggest mistake of my life.

00:03:41My name is Giancarlo Salazar.

00:03:43I represent Connecticut and I'm a registered nurse.

00:03:46And I aspire to be Meryl Streep.

00:03:48She is one of the best actresses of all time and she is able to portray any kind of character.

00:03:53I think the term for that would be a chameleon.

00:03:55Come on!

00:03:56Finish it!

00:03:57Come on!

00:03:58Finish it!

00:03:59Come on!

00:04:04You dirt poor little maggot!

00:04:09That's an Oscar performance right there.

00:04:10Congratulations, Jacob, on the win.

00:04:12Giancarlo, you have to have a drink.

00:04:15Our next contestants are Cam and Drew, also known as Drinks Andrew.

00:04:20My name is Drew Tillman.

00:04:21I'm representing the state of Indiana.

00:04:23I'm serving and bartending at a sushi restaurant.

00:04:26And actually for like a brief moment in Florida, I was a male stripper.

00:04:30Just for a little bit.

00:04:32I just recently picked up modeling.

00:04:34I do get a lot of comments, you know, on my looks.

00:04:37And I think I have a unique energy to myself.

00:04:42Go!

00:04:44I'm gonna come back for you someday.

00:04:45I love you, Caroline.

00:04:46I don't care who you stick with this marriage.

00:04:49Come on!

00:04:50My dad's friend is like a dill.

00:04:53I'm not your boyfriend anymore, okay?

00:04:55And two, she's not a nobody.

00:04:57I'm gonna come back for you someday.

00:04:59I love you, Caroline Mills.

00:05:06They are looking for that leading man.

00:05:08They're looking for somebody who is polished, professional,

00:05:11who shows up every day ready for adventure.

00:05:13Someone who's ready to take action when needed.

00:05:15All right, boys.

00:05:16That was well fought.

00:05:17I think I'm sweating just from watching that.

00:05:18That's just our style.

00:05:25So this one's called, Who's the Mole?

00:05:27Let's play.

00:05:28That's just our style.

00:05:30Well, I play sports.

00:05:32I'm around ice.

00:05:33And I have a stick.

00:05:34My name is Joseph Woods, representing New Hampshire.

00:05:37Right now, I'm currently not doing anything.

00:05:40I've always been told that I'm very handsome,

00:05:42and I look like Zac Efron.

00:05:44What is something about you that would surprise people?

00:05:47Oh, it's classified.

00:05:50I might also throw some punches.

00:05:52Frequently in the cold, and there's a pretty big fan section.

00:05:56Some could say I'm a competitor.

00:05:58I'm always looking to make a goal.

00:06:00It won't take long for any real star to play someone trying to hide a secret.

00:06:04Simon, what's going on?

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

00:06:09But I am the CEO of the Jones Group.

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

00:06:15I feel like you might be trying to confuse us, though.

00:06:17However, I don't know.

00:06:18Yeah.

00:06:19That's such a mole behavior again.

00:06:20Come on.

00:06:21He also has sunglasses on.

00:06:22Yeah.

00:06:23This guy has full sunglasses.

00:06:25Avoiding eye contact.

00:06:26My name is Hayden Green.

00:06:28I am representing the state of Ohio,

00:06:30and I'm a full-time social media influencer.

00:06:33I used to being in front of the camera,

00:06:35but filming for YouTube compared to filming for a show

00:06:38is a little different.

00:06:39I played two years of college basketball,

00:06:41so I didn't model.

00:06:42I didn't act growing up at all.

00:06:44And then I got into bodybuilding,

00:06:46and that led me to signing with some modeling agencies.

00:06:49My biggest asset is never taking an L as a loss.

00:06:53I think L stands for lesson learned,

00:06:55and I am willing to fail a thousand times to reach my dream.

00:07:00I feel like the mole is somewhere.

00:07:03Somewhere over here.

00:07:04Somewhere over there.

00:07:05Spoken like a true mole.

00:07:10Ken?

00:07:11Congratulations.

00:07:12No way.

00:07:13I am the mole.

00:07:14I think I played all of you guys relatively well.

00:07:16That's great.

00:07:17I blended in well enough just to last long enough with this quaint minutes.

00:07:21Hello.

00:07:22My name is Ken.

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

00:07:24I'm representing the state of Hawaii.

00:07:25I am a model, a college student,

00:07:26and a part-time behavioral therapist with younger kids.

00:07:28I've grown up in Asia, Europe, North America, the Middle East.

00:07:31I'm motivated to win the next real star because of my cultural ambiguity,

00:07:34and this is more than just about myself.

00:07:36I believe that I represent a whole group of people,

00:07:38and acting has been a large part of my background ever since I was young,

00:07:40and this is what I love.

00:07:41Congratulations on dodging everyone's guesses.

00:07:43You were the mole, but no one could find you.

00:07:45Ken's got the look.

00:07:46He's got the chops.

00:07:47I think he might have what it takes,

00:07:49but the road ahead is steep,

00:07:51and these other men will be looking to rip that dream away from Ken.

00:08:06All these small-armed gentlemen are going to be excited for this challenge

00:08:16because this icebreaker challenge will be putting their physical stamina to the test.

00:08:22Starting up will be Tyler and Wes.

00:08:26Let's go, Wes.

00:08:27I got my money on you, man.

00:08:29I'm going to come back for you someday.

00:08:31I love you, Caroline Mills.

00:08:33This is my military tech.

00:08:35I want you to have it.

00:08:36My name is Tyler Mata.

00:08:37I'm representing the state of Colorado.

00:08:39I'm currently working in commercial finance.

00:08:41I actually just also got my real estate license as well.

00:08:44My previous career is modeling and acting.

00:08:46It was actually cut short because of COVID.

00:08:48I've always been kind of wanting to get back into it.

00:08:50This is kind of a door to get back into it.

00:08:52Do you make more money?

00:08:54No.

00:08:55No.

00:08:56It's good paying, but no, I don't.

00:08:57I actually made more money modeling and acting.

00:09:00Yeah.

00:09:01Yeah.

00:09:02You really think you can beat me, you dirty poor little maggot?

00:09:06You think I'm some poor loser?

00:09:08Prove it.

00:09:09Cast a check.

00:09:10It's my pup and I can smell him.

00:09:12How much do you want with this baby?

00:09:14And two, she's not a nobody.

00:09:16Let's get it.

00:09:21Let's get it.

00:09:22Next up, Josh and Noah.

00:09:24Alright.

00:09:25Three, two, one.

00:09:27One.

00:09:28I'm gonna come back for you someday.

00:09:30I love you, Caroline.

00:09:32You really think you can beat me?

00:09:34You dirt poor little maggot.

00:09:36You think I'm some poor loser?

00:09:38Prove it.

00:09:39Physical stamina is an absolute must.

00:09:46I lost my mind.

00:09:48And that's why I married you.

00:09:50The biggest mistake of my entire life.

00:09:52Some actors have me.

00:09:53I'm gonna come back for you someday.

00:09:54While others...

00:09:55She's not a nobody.

00:09:56Not so much.

00:09:57You know I'm technically your husband, right?

00:10:00Ten seconds.

00:10:01But my dad's friend, Chris, is a dill!

00:10:04Five, four, three, two, one, and time's up.

00:10:10Let's go!

00:10:11Bro, that sucked!

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

00:10:17Jesus.

00:10:18I've been doing verticals now for about three years.

00:10:22And I can say they've safely changed my life.

00:10:25You're my mate.

00:10:28I don't know who I'd be if I never found them.

00:10:31It's important for me to pair Jesse and Nicole with contestants our viewers at home believe are worthy of winning a leading role with them.

00:10:36Woo!

00:10:37I just, I got the pecs, you know?

00:10:42They work.

00:10:43My name is Eric and I'm representing Oregon.

00:10:46I do a lot of different things.

00:10:47I have a small candy company.

00:10:49I stream online.

00:10:50I make money as a content creator.

00:10:52It's a little bit of everything.

00:10:53I grew up as a nerd and it really wasn't until after I graduated college that I started to embrace my identity.

00:11:00And that's what makes my story so unique is that I wasn't always that guy.

00:11:04And I believe my story is going to touch more hearts because of that.

00:11:07Because I know what it's like to be at the bottom and how difficult it is to get your way to the top.

00:11:11But it's very possible.

00:11:18I've never had this happen to me on a plane.

00:11:20But I've never met these two people next to me.

00:11:23And I got the middle seat, unfortunately.

00:11:25But the guy next to me on my left aisle side.

00:11:27Yo, what's up with this story time?

00:11:31We get it, dude.

00:11:32It's like, oh my God, dude.

00:11:33Like, coming out of a headache.

00:11:34It looks like we got a hater right here, bro.

00:11:36Don't compare with a hater right now, bro.

00:11:38My name is Andrew Johnson.

00:11:40I am an actor.

00:11:42Professional.

00:11:43Do you feel like there's anyone that could be your biggest competitor?

00:11:46Are you worried at all?

00:11:48No.

00:11:49No.

00:11:50Why?

00:11:52All right, boys.

00:11:53This one's called the Dance Memorization Challenge.

00:11:58So, does that make sense to everyone?

00:12:00I know.

00:12:01Oh, wow.

00:12:02Okay.

00:12:03I'll have to think about it, maybe.

00:12:06Every production has its divas.

00:12:08Looks like we may have found ours.

00:12:11Guys, I'm the problem on the set.

00:12:13I'm the bad boy.

00:12:14And at the end of the day, I'm the only one who's capable of winning this competition.

00:12:20Andrew, are you going to do this?

00:12:22No.

00:12:23No.

00:12:24I'm introducing something like you've never seen.

00:12:2824 of the hottest male talents in this country are competing for a lead role.

00:12:34And you decide who become the next real star.

00:12:35I'm introducing a new thing.

00:12:38And I'm Jesse Morales, an actor, dancer.

00:12:39Most of you probably know me as Andrew Hills, an actress known for my work on Vertical Series.

00:12:44And I want a divorce.

00:12:46And I'm Jesse Morales, an actor, dancer.

00:13:03And I'm Jesse Morales, an actor, dancer.

00:13:05Most of you probably know me as Andrew Hills, Chris Collins,

00:13:09and Sylvia.

00:13:10And this is the next real star.

00:13:12Action.

00:13:13This is the first ever vertical reality acting competition.

00:13:59I'm Kiki Frags, and welcome to the competition.

00:14:02Let's go.

00:14:04My name's Joshua Vasconcelos.

00:14:05I'm representing the state of Iowa.

00:14:07I'm a hunter, duck hunting, deer hunting.

00:14:10Doesn't matter what it is.

00:14:11If it flies, it dies.

00:14:12If it runs, we shoot.

00:14:14I think what makes me stand out is living in the moment.

00:14:16Every door opens an opportunity, and I'm pretty open to every opportunity

00:14:21that's there.

00:14:23Now, before we begin, I would like to play a few icebreakers

00:14:26to loosen things up.

00:14:27Some ways that we can actually get to know each other a little bit better.

00:14:31This will help dictate who you will be assigned to to be your mentor,

00:14:38You guys ready?

00:14:38Yeah, we're ready.

00:14:39Good.

00:14:40Then who's ready to break the ice?

00:14:43This isn't just a regular casting call.

00:14:46This is a chance at stardom.

00:15:06I'm game.

00:15:35Ready?

00:15:37One, two.

00:15:42One, two, three.

00:15:45I'm going to come back for you someday.

00:15:47I love you, Caroline.

00:15:48This is my military tag.

00:15:50I want you to have it.

00:15:51A muscular physique is a requirement for any real star.

00:15:55But so is a muscular mind.

00:15:56You think I'm so poor, little loser?

00:15:58Prove it.

00:15:59Cash is a check.

00:16:00Baby!

00:16:00Come on!

00:16:01The line must be delivered perfectly every single time.

00:16:06I said, keep your fucking paws off my mate.

00:16:10I lost my mind.

00:16:11That's why I married you.

00:16:13The biggest mistake of my life.

00:16:15My name is John Carlos Salazar.

00:16:16I represent Connecticut and I'm a registered nurse.

00:16:19And I aspire to be Meryl Streep.

00:16:21She is one of the best actresses of all time.

00:16:24And she is able to portray any kind of character.

00:16:27I think the term for that would be a chameleon.

00:16:30Come on!

00:16:31Finish it!

00:16:32Finish it!

00:16:32Come on!

00:16:37You dirt poor little maggot!

00:16:42That's an Oscar performance right there.

00:16:43Congratulations, Jacob, on the win.

00:16:46Giancarlo, you have to have a drink.

00:16:47Our next contestants are Cam and Drew, also known as Drinks on Drew.

00:16:53My name is Drew Tillman.

00:16:54I'm representing the state of Indiana.

00:16:56I'm serving and bartending at a sushi restaurant.

00:16:59And actually for like a brief moment in Florida, I was a male stripper.

00:17:03Just for a little bit.

00:17:05I just recently picked up modeling.

00:17:07I do get a lot of comments, you know, on my looks.

00:17:10And I think I have a unique energy to myself.

00:17:15Go!

00:17:15I'm going to come back for you someday.

00:17:18I love you, Caroline.

00:17:20I don't care who you stick with this marriage or anything.

00:17:22Come on!

00:17:24My dad's friend is like a dill.

00:17:26I'm not your boyfriend anymore, okay?

00:17:28And two, she's not a nobody.

00:17:31I'm going to come back for you someday.

00:17:32I love you, Caroline Mills.

00:17:39They are looking for that leading man.

00:17:41They're looking for somebody who is polished, professional,

00:17:44who shows up every day ready for adventure.

00:17:47Someone who's ready to take action when needed.

00:17:49All right, boys.

00:17:50That was well fought.

00:17:50I think I'm sweating just from watching that.

00:17:52That's just our style.

00:17:54So this one's called, who's the mole?

00:18:01Let's play.

00:18:03Well, I play sports.

00:18:05I'm around ice.

00:18:06And I have a stick.

00:18:07My name is Joseph Woods, representing New Hampshire.

00:18:10Right now, I'm currently not doing anything.

00:18:13I've always been told that I'm very handsome and I look like Zac Efron.

00:18:17What is something about you that would surprise people?

00:18:20Oh, it's classified.

00:18:23I might also throw some punches, um, frequently in the cold.

00:18:26And there's a pretty big fan section.

00:18:29Some could say I'm a competitor.

00:18:31I'm always looking to make a goal.

00:18:32It won't take long for any real star to play someone trying to hide a secret.

00:18:37Simon, what's going on?

00:18:39Victoria, I'm so sorry.

00:18:41I am the CEO of the Jones Group.

00:18:46So there's one mole upon us.

00:18:48I feel like you might be trying to confuse us, though.

00:18:50However, I don't know.

00:18:51Yeah.

00:18:51That's such a mole behavior again.

00:18:53Come on, mole.

00:18:53He also has sunglasses on.

00:18:55Yeah.

00:18:56And this guy has full sunglasses.

00:18:58Avoiding eye contact.

00:18:59My name is Hayden Green.

00:19:01I am representing the state of Ohio.

00:19:03And I'm a full-time social media influencer.

00:19:06I used to be an infra on the camera, but filming for YouTube

00:19:09compared to filming for a show is a little different.

00:19:12I played two years of college basketball.

00:19:14So I didn't model.

00:19:15I didn't act growing up at all.

00:19:17And then I got into a bodybuilding.

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

00:19:22My biggest asset is never taking an L as a loss.

00:19:27I think L stands for lesson learned.

00:19:29And I am willing to fail a thousand times to reach my dream.

00:19:33I feel like the mole is somewhere over here.

00:19:37Somewhere over there.

00:19:38Spoken like a true mole.

00:19:43Ken?

00:19:44Congratulations.

00:19:45No way.

00:19:46I am the bowl.

00:19:47I think I played all of you guys relatively well.

00:19:49That's great.

00:19:50I blended in well enough just to last long enough with his quaint minutes.

00:19:57Hello.

00:19:58My name is Ken.

00:19:59I'm 20 years old.

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

00:20:01I am a model, a college student, and a part-time behavioral therapist with younger kids.

00:20:06I've grown up in Asia, Europe, North America, the Middle East.

00:20:09I'm motivated to win the next real star because of my cultural ambiguity.

00:20:13And this is more than just about myself.

00:20:15I believe that I represent a whole group of people.

00:20:17And acting has been a large part of my background ever since I was young.

00:20:21And this is what I love.

00:20:22Congratulations on dodging everyone's guesses.

00:20:25You were the mole, but no one could find you.

00:20:27Ken's got the look.

00:20:28He's got the chops.

00:20:30I think he might have what it takes.

00:20:31But the road ahead is steep.

00:20:34And these other men will be looking to rip that dream away from Ken.

00:20:45All these small-armed gentlemen are going to be excited for this challenge.

00:20:49Because this icebreaker challenge will be putting their physical stamina to the test.

00:20:53Who are starting up will be Tyler and Wes.

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

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

00:21:03I'm going to come back for you someday.

00:21:05I love you, Caroline Mills.

00:21:06This is my military tech.

00:21:08I want you to have it.

00:21:09My name is Tyler Mata.

00:21:10I'm representing the state of Colorado.

00:21:12I'm currently working in commercial finance.

00:21:14I actually just also got my real estate license as well.

00:21:17My previous career was modeling and acting.

00:21:19It was actually cut short because of COVID.

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

00:21:23This is kind of a door to get back into it.

00:21:25Do you make more money?

00:21:27No.

00:21:28No.

00:21:29It's good paying.

00:21:30But no, I don't.

00:21:30I actually made more money modeling and acting.

00:21:35You really think you can beat me, you dirty poor little maggot?

00:21:39You think I'm some poor loser?

00:21:41Prove it.

00:21:42Cast a check.

00:21:43It's my pup and I can smell him.

00:21:45How much do you want with this baby?

00:21:47And two, she's not a nobody.

00:21:51Let's get it.

00:21:53Let's get it.

00:21:55Next up, Josh and Noah.

00:21:57All right.

00:21:58Three, two, one.

00:22:02I'm going to come back for you someday.

00:22:03I love you, Caroline.

00:22:05You really think you can beat me?

00:22:07You dirt poor little maggot.

00:22:09You think I'm some poor loser?

00:22:11Prove it.

00:22:12Physical stamina is an absolute must.

00:22:14I lost my mind and that's why I married you.

00:22:23The biggest mistake of my entire life.

00:22:25Some actress had me.

00:22:26I'm going to come back for you someday.

00:22:28While others, she's not a nobody.

00:22:30Not so much.

00:22:30Okay.

00:22:31You know I'm technically your husband, right?

00:22:34Ten seconds.

00:22:34But my dad's friend, Chris, is a dill.

00:22:38Five, four, three, two, one, and time's up.

00:22:43Let's go!

00:22:45Let's go!

00:22:45Bro, that sucked.

00:22:48You guys ran through an entire vertical.

00:22:50Jesus.

00:22:52I've been doing verticals now for about three years.

00:22:55And I can say they've safely changed my life.

00:22:58You're my mate.

00:23:01I don't know who I'd be if I never found them.

00:23:04It's important for me to pair Jesse McColl with contestants our viewers at home

00:23:08believe are worthy of winning a leading role with them.

00:23:10I just, I got the packs, you know, they work.

00:23:15My name is Eric and I'm representing Oregon.

00:23:19I do a lot of different things.

00:23:20I have a small candy company.

00:23:22I stream online.

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

00:23:25It's a little bit of everything.

00:23:26I grew up as a nerd and it really wasn't until after I graduated college that I started to

00:23:32embrace my identity.

00:23:33And that's what makes my story so unique is that I wasn't always that guy.

00:23:37And I believe my story is going to touch more hearts because of that because I know what it's

00:23:41like to be at the bottom and how difficult it is to get your way to the top.

00:23:44But it's very possible.

00:23:52I've never had this happen to me on a plane, but I've never met these two people next to me.

00:23:56And I got the middle seat, unfortunately.

00:23:58But the guy next to me on my left.

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

00:24:04We get it, dude.

00:24:05It's like, oh my God, dude.

00:24:07I'm going to have a headache.

00:24:08It looks like we got a hater right here, bro.

00:24:09Don't look at him on the hater right now, bro.

00:24:11My name is Andrew Johnson.

00:24:13I am an actor, professional.

00:24:16Do you feel like there's anyone that could be your biggest competitor?

00:24:19Are you worried at all?

00:24:20No, no, why?

00:24:25All right, boys.

00:24:26This one's called the Dance Memorization Challenge.

00:24:31So, does that make sense to everyone?

00:24:33I know.

00:24:35Okay.

00:24:36I'll have to think about it.

00:24:39Every production has its divas.

00:24:41Looks like we may have found ours.

00:24:44Guys, I'm the problem on the set.

00:24:46I'm the bad boy.

00:24:47And at the end of the day, I'm the only one who's capable of winning this competition.

00:24:53Andrew, are you going to do this?

00:24:57No.

00:25:11I'm introducing something like you've never seen.

00:25:1624 of the hottest male talents in this country are competing for a lead role.

00:25:20And you decide to become the next real star.

00:25:31I'm Nicole Maddox, an actress known for my work on Vertical Series.

00:25:34I want a divorce.

00:25:36And I'm Jesse Morales, an actor, dancer.

00:25:38Most of you probably know me as Andrew Hills, Chris Collins, and this is the next real star.

00:25:45Action.

00:25:46This is the first ever vertical reality acting competition.

00:25:5024 men from across the country will be challenged putting their acting skills to the test.

00:25:56But this isn't an ordinary audition.

00:25:57Oh, no, no, no, no.

00:25:59We will be mentoring them to see who has what it takes to be a vertical star.

00:26:03Make sure you're letting the person finish their thought.

00:26:05Slow down and mean it.

00:26:07This is going to be really hard.

00:26:09Only one person can win, though.

00:26:11The prize of acting in a show with me.

00:26:13Or me.

00:26:14Yeah, yeah.

00:26:14We can both get one.

00:26:16I don't know where you're from, but if you ain't first, you're last.

00:26:18Okay.

00:26:19Let's find the next real star.

00:26:20But I'm about to be a real star.

00:26:32Hello, folks.

00:26:33I'm Kiki Frags, and welcome to the competition.

00:26:35Let's go.

00:26:37My name is Joshua Vasconcelos.

00:26:39I'm representing the state of Iowa.

00:26:40I'm a hunter, duck hunting, deer hunting.

00:26:43It doesn't matter what it is.

00:26:44If it flies, it dies.

00:26:45If it runs, we shoot.

00:26:47I think what makes me stand out is living in the moment.

00:26:49Every door opens an opportunity, and I'm pretty open to every opportunity that's there.

00:26:56Now, before we begin, I would like to play a few icebreakers to loosen things up.

00:27:00Some ways that we can actually get to know each other a little bit better.

00:27:04This will help dictate who you will be assigned to to be your mentor.

00:27:09Either Jesse or Nicole.

00:27:11You guys ready?

00:27:11Yeah, we're ready.

00:27:13Good.

00:27:13Then who's ready to break the ice?

00:27:16This isn't just a regular casting call.

00:27:19This is a chance at stardom.

00:27:21And for the first time, the audience gets to choose who wins.

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

00:27:31each other.

00:27:32The loser who cannot hold their strength or remember their line will have to drink.

00:27:37How does that sound?

00:27:37Let's do it.

00:27:38Phenomenal.

00:27:38Good.

00:27:39I'm game.

00:27:40The lines you'll be reading are from iconic real short shows.

00:27:43I'm going to come back for you someday.

00:27:45I love you, Carolyn Mills.

00:27:47Our first two contestants are John Carlos and Jacob.

00:27:51I'm Jacob Robert Kuhn.

00:27:53I'm representing Arizona.

00:27:54I have a Filipino background.

00:27:56So, you know, it was either sing, dance, or both.

00:28:00I think I have the ability to win.

00:28:01I wouldn't mind bringing home the gold.

00:28:03All right, gentlemen.

00:28:05On the count of three, you'll turn over the papers and begin the competition.

00:28:09Ready?

00:28:10One, two.

00:28:15One, two, three.

00:28:17I'm going to come back for you someday.

00:28:20I love you, Caroline.

00:28:21This is my military type.

00:28:23I want you to have it.

00:28:24A muscular physique is a requirement for any real star.

00:28:28But so is a muscular mind.

00:28:30You think I'm so poor, little loser?

00:28:32Prove it.

00:28:33Cash is a check.

00:28:33Baby!

00:28:34Come on!

00:28:35The line must be delivered perfectly every single time.

00:28:39I said, keep your fucking palms off my mate.

00:28:43I lost my mind.

00:28:44That's why I married you.

00:28:46The biggest mistake of my life.

00:28:48My name is Giancarlo Salazar.

00:28:50I represent Connecticut and I'm a registered nurse.

00:28:52And I aspire to be Meryl Streep.

00:28:55She is one of the best actresses of all time.

00:28:57And she is able to portray any kind of character.

00:29:00I think the term for that would be a chameleon.

00:29:10You dirt poor little maggot.

00:29:15That's an Oscar performance right there.

00:29:17Congratulations, Jacob, on the win.

00:29:19Giancarlo, you have to have a drink.

00:29:20Our next contestants are Cam and Drew, also known as Drinks Andreu.

00:29:26My name is Drew Tillman.

00:31:31Avoiding eye contact.

00:31:33My name is Hayden Green.

00:32:12Yeah, there we go.

00:32:13Ken, congratulations.

00:32:18No way.

00:32:19Whoa.

00:32:19I am the mole.

00:32:20I think I've played all of you guys relatively well.

00:32:23That's right.

00:32:23I blended in well enough just to last long enough with this quaint minutes.

00:32:31Hello, my name is Ken.

00:32:32I'm 20 years old.

00:32:33I'm representing the state of Hawaii.

00:32:35I am a model, a college student, and a part-time behavioral therapist with younger kids.

00:32:39I've grown up in Asia, Europe, North America, the Middle East.

00:32:42I'm motivated to win the next real star because of my cultural ambiguity,

00:32:46and this is more than just about myself.

00:32:48I believe that I represent a whole group of people,

00:32:51and acting has been a large part of my background ever since I was young,

00:32:54and this is what I love.

00:32:55Congratulations on dodging everyone's guesses.

00:32:58You were the mole, but no one could find you.

00:33:00Ken's got the look.

00:33:02He's got the chops.

00:33:03I think he might have what it takes, but the road ahead is steep,

00:33:07and these other men will be looking to rip that dream away from Ken.

00:33:10All these small-armed gentlemen are going to be excited for this challenge,

00:33:23because this icebreaker challenge will be putting their physical stamina to the test.

00:33:28For starting up will be Tyler and Wes.

00:33:33Let's go, Wes. I got my money on you, man.

00:33:36I'm going to come back for you someday.

00:33:38I love you, Caroline Mills.

00:33:40This is my military tech. I want you to have it.

00:33:42My name is Tyler Mata. I'm representing the state of Colorado.

00:33:45I'm currently working in commercial finance.

00:33:47I actually just also got my real estate license as well.

00:33:50My previous career was modeling and acting.

00:33:52It was actually cut short because of COVID.

00:33:54I've always been kind of wanting to get back into it.

00:33:57This is kind of a door to get back into it.

00:33:59Do you make more money?

00:34:00No. No, it's good paying, but no, I don't.

00:34:04I actually made more money modeling and acting.

00:34:06You really think you can beat me, you dirty poor little maggot?

00:34:12You think I'm some poor loser? Prove it.

00:34:15Cast the check.

00:34:16It's my pup and I can smell, smell him.

00:34:19How much do you want with this baby?

00:34:20And two, she's not a nobody.

00:34:27Let's get it.

00:34:29Next up, Josh and Noah.

00:34:31All right.

00:34:31Three, two, one.

00:34:35I'm going to come back for you someday.

00:34:37I love you, Caroline.

00:34:38You really think you can beat me?

00:34:40You dirt poor little maggot.

00:34:42You think I'm some poor loser?

00:34:44Prove it.

00:34:45Physical stamina is an absolute must.

00:34:52I lost my mind.

00:34:54And that's why I married you.

00:34:56The biggest mistake of my entire life.

00:34:59Some actors have you.

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

00:35:01While others...

00:35:02She's not a nobody.

00:35:03Not so much.

00:35:03You know I'm technically your husband, right?

00:35:07Ten seconds.

00:35:08But my dad's friend, Chris, is a dill!

00:35:11Five, four, three, two, one, and time's up.

00:35:19Bro, that sucked.

00:35:22You guys ran through an entire vertical, Jesus.

00:35:25I've been doing verticals now for about three years,

00:35:28and I can say they've safely changed my life.

00:35:32You're my mate.

00:35:34I don't know who I'd be if I never found them.

00:35:37It's important for me to pair Jesse Nicole with contestants our viewers at home

00:35:41believe are worthy of winning a leading role with them.

00:35:46I just, I got the packs, you know?

00:35:48They work.

00:35:49My name is Eric, and I'm representing Oregon.

00:35:52I do a lot of different things.

00:35:53I have a small candy company.

00:35:55I stream online.

00:35:57I make money as a content creator.

00:35:58It's a little bit of everything.

00:35:59I grew up as a nerd, and it really wasn't until after

00:36:03I graduated college that I started to embrace my identity.

00:36:06And that's what makes my story so unique, is that I wasn't always that guy.

00:36:10And I believe my story is going to touch more hearts because of that.

00:36:13Because I know what it's like to be at the bottom,

00:36:15and how difficult it is to get your way to the top.

00:36:18But it's very possible.

00:36:25I've never had this happen to me on a plane.

00:36:27But I've never met these two people next to me.

00:36:29And I got the middle seat, unfortunately.

00:36:31But the guy next to me on my left.

00:36:33Yo, what's up with this story time?

00:36:35My name is Andrew Johnson.

00:36:47I am an actor, professional.

00:36:49Do you feel like there's anyone that could be your biggest competitor?

00:36:52Are you worried at all?

00:36:53No. No. Why?

00:36:59All right, boys.

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

00:37:05So, does that make sense to everyone?

00:37:06I know.

00:37:10I'll have to think about it.

00:37:12Every production has its divas.

00:37:14Looks like we may have found ours.

00:37:18Guys, I'm the problem on the set.

00:37:19I'm the bad boy.

00:37:20And at the end of the day, I'm the only one who's capable of winning this competition.

00:37:27Andrew, are you going to do this?

00:37:31No.

00:37:45I'm introducing something like you've never seen.

00:37:4924 of the hottest male talents in this country are competing for a lead role.

00:37:54And you decide who becomes the next real star.

00:38:04I'm Nicole Maddox, an actress known for my work on Vertical Series.

00:38:08I want a divorce.

00:38:09And I'm Jesse Morales, an actor, dancer.

00:38:12Most of you probably know me as Andrew Hills, Chris Collins, and this is the next real star.

00:38:19Actually.

00:38:20This is the first ever vertical reality acting competition.

00:38:2324 men from across the country will be challenged putting their acting skills to the test.

00:38:29But this isn't an ordinary audition.

00:38:31Oh, no, no, no, no.

00:38:32We will be mentoring them to see who has what it takes to be a vertical star.

00:38:36Make sure you're letting the person finish their thought.

00:38:39Slow down and mean it.

00:38:40This is going to be really hard.

00:38:42Only one person can win, though.

00:38:45The prize of acting in a show with me.

00:38:47Or me.

00:38:47Yeah, yeah.

00:38:48We can both get one.

00:38:49I don't know where you're from, but if you ain't first, you're last.

00:38:52Okay.

00:38:52Let's find the next real star.

00:39:05Hello, folks.

00:39:06I'm Kiki Frags, and welcome to the competition.

00:39:09Let's go.

00:39:10My name is Joshua Vasconcelos.

00:39:12I'm representing the state of Iowa.

00:39:14I'm a hunter, duck hunting, deer hunting.

00:39:16Doesn't matter what it is.

00:39:18If it flies, it dies.

00:39:19If it runs, we shoot.

00:39:20I think what makes me stand out is living in the moment.

00:39:23Every door opens an opportunity, and I'm pretty open to every opportunity that's there.

00:39:29Now, before we begin, I would like to play a few icebreakers to loosen things up.

00:39:33Some ways that we can actually get to know each other a little bit better.

00:39:37This will help dictate who you will be assigned to to be your mentor.

00:39:42Either Jesse or Nicole.

00:39:44You guys ready?

00:39:45Yeah, we're ready.

00:39:46Good.

00:39:47Then who's ready to break the ice?

00:39:50This isn't just a regular casting call.

00:39:52This is a chance at stardom.

00:39:55And for the first time, the audience gets to choose who wins.

00:39:59In this challenge, two of you guys will be facing head-to-head reciting lines while arm-wrestling

00:40:05each other.

00:40:05The loser who cannot hold their strength or remember their line will have to drink.

00:40:10How does that sound?

00:40:10Let's do it.

00:40:11Phenomenal.

00:40:12Good.

00:40:12I'm game.

00:40:13The lines you'll be reading are from iconic real short shows.

00:40:16I'm going to come back for you someday.

00:40:19I love you, Carolyn Mills.

00:40:21Our first two contestants are John Carlos and Jacob.

00:40:24I'm Jacob Robert Kuhn.

00:40:26I'm representing Arizona.

00:40:28I have a Filipino background.

00:40:30So, you know, it was either sing, dance, or both.

00:40:33I think I have the ability to win.

00:40:34I wouldn't mind bringing home the gold.

00:40:37All right, gentlemen.

00:40:38On the count of three, you'll turn over the papers and begin the competition.

00:40:42Ready?

00:40:44One, two.

00:40:45One, two, three.

00:40:52I'm going to come back for you someday.

00:40:53I love you, Caroline.

00:40:55This is my military time.

00:40:56I want you to have it.

00:40:58A muscular physique is a requirement for any real star.

00:41:01But so is a muscular mind.

00:41:03You think I'm so poor, little loser?

00:41:05Prove it.

00:41:06Cash is a check.

00:41:07Baby!

00:41:07Come on!

00:41:08The line must be delivered perfectly every single time.

00:41:12I said, keep your fucking paws off my mate.

00:41:16I lost my mind.

00:41:18That's why I married you.

00:41:19The biggest mistake of my life.

00:41:21My name is Giancarlo Salazar.

00:41:23I represent Connecticut and I'm a registered nurse.

00:41:26And I aspire to be Meryl Streep.

00:41:28She is one of the best actresses of all time.

00:41:30And she is able to portray any kind of character.

00:41:33I think the term for that would be a chameleon.

00:41:37Come on!

00:41:38Finish it!

00:41:38Come on!

00:41:39Come on!

00:41:43You dirt poor little maggot!

00:41:48That's awesome performance right there.

00:41:50Congratulations, Jacob, on the win.

00:41:52Giancarlo, you have to have a drink.

00:41:55Our next contestants are Cam and Drew, also known as Drinks Andreu.

00:42:00My name is Drew Tillman.

00:42:01I'm representing the state of Indiana.

00:42:02I'm serving and bartending at a sushi restaurant.

00:42:05And actually for like a brief moment in Florida,

00:42:08I was a male stripper.

00:42:10Just for a little bit.

00:42:11I just recently picked up modeling.

00:42:14I do get a lot of comments, you know, on my looks.

00:42:16And I think I have a unique energy to myself.

00:42:21Go!

00:42:23I'm gonna come back for you someday.

00:42:25I love you, Caroline.

00:42:26I don't care who you stick with this marriage or anything.

00:42:29Come on!

00:42:29My dad's friend is like a dill.

00:42:33I'm not your boyfriend anymore, okay?

00:42:35And two, she's not a nobody.

00:42:37I'm gonna come back for you someday.

00:42:39I love you, Caroline Mills.

00:42:45They are looking for that leading man.

00:42:48They're looking for somebody who is polished, professional,

00:42:51who shows up every day ready for adventure.

00:42:53Someone who's ready to take action when needed.

00:42:56All right, boys.

00:42:56That was well fought.

00:42:57I think I'm sweating just from watching that.

00:42:58That's just our style.

00:43:05So this one's called, Who's the Mole?

00:43:07Let's play.

00:43:08That's just our style.

00:43:10Well, I play sports, I'm around ice, and I have a stick.

00:43:14My name is Joseph Woods, representing New Hampshire.

00:43:17Right now, I'm currently not doing anything.

00:43:20I've always been told that I'm very handsome,

00:43:22and I look like Zac Efron.

00:43:24What is something about you that would surprise people?

00:43:26Oh, it's classified.

00:43:28I might also throw some punches, frequently in the cold,

00:43:33and there's a pretty big fan section.

00:43:35Some could say I'm a competitor.

00:43:37I'm always looking to make a goal.

00:43:39It won't take long for any real star to play someone trying to hide a secret.

00:43:44Simon, what's going on?

00:43:46Victoria, I'm so sorry.

00:43:48But I am the CEO of the Jones Group.

00:43:53So there's one mole upon us.

00:43:54I feel like you might be trying to confuse us, though.

00:43:57However, I don't know.

00:43:57Yeah.

00:43:58That's such a mole behavior again.

00:43:59Come on.

00:44:00He also has sunglasses on, and that's a nice piece.

00:44:02Yeah.

00:44:03And this guy has closed sunglasses.

00:44:05Avoiding eye contact.

00:44:06My name is Hayden Green.

00:44:07I am representing the state of Ohio,

00:44:10and I'm a full-time social media influencer.

00:44:12I'm used to being in front of the camera,

00:44:14but filming for YouTube compared to filming for a show is a little different.

00:44:19I played two years of college basketball,

00:44:20so I didn't model.

00:44:21I didn't act growing up at all.

00:44:24And then I got into bodybuilding,

00:44:26and that led me to signing with some modeling agencies.

00:44:29My biggest asset is never taking an L as a loss.

00:44:33I think L stands for lesson learned,

00:44:35and I am willing to fail a thousand times to reach my dream.

00:44:39I feel like the mole is somewhere.

00:44:42Oh.

00:44:43Somewhere over here.

00:44:44Somewhere over there.

00:44:45Spoken like a true mole.

00:44:50Ken, congratulations.

00:44:51No way.

00:44:52Wow.

00:44:53I am the mole.

00:44:54I think I played all of you guys relatively well.

00:44:56That's nice.

00:44:57I blended in well enough just to last long enough with this quaint minutes.

00:45:04Hello, my name is Ken.

00:45:05I'm 20 years old.

00:45:06I'm representing the state of Hawaii.

00:45:08I am a model, a college student, and a part-time behavioral therapist with younger kids.

00:45:12I've grown up in Asia, Europe, North America, the Middle East.

00:45:16I'm motivated to win the next real star because of my cultural ambiguity,

00:45:20and this is more than just about myself.

00:45:22I believe that I represent a whole group of people,

00:45:24and acting has been a large part of my background ever since I was young, and this is what I love.

00:45:29Congratulations on dodging everyone's guesses.

00:45:32You were the mole, but no one could find you.

00:45:34Ken's got the look.

00:45:35He's got the chops.

00:45:36I think he might have what it takes, but the road ahead is steep,

00:45:40and these other men will be looking to rip that dream away from Ken.

00:45:52All these small-armed gentlemen are going to be excited for this challenge,

00:45:56because this icebreaker challenge will be putting their physical stamina to the test.

00:46:34No. No, it's good paying, but no, I don't.

00:46:37I actually made more money modeling and acting.

00:46:42You really think you can beat me, you dirty poor little maggot?

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

00:46:47Prove it. Cast a check.

00:46:50It's my pup and I can smell him.

00:46:52How much do you want with this baby?

00:46:54And two, she's not a nobody.

00:46:58Yeah. Let's go.

00:47:00Let's get it. Let's get it.

00:47:02Next up, Josh and Noah.

00:47:04All right. Three, two, one.

00:47:08I'm going to come back for you someday.

00:47:12You really think you can beat me?

00:47:13You dirt poor little maggot.

00:47:15You think I'm some poor loser?

00:47:18Prove it.

00:47:18Physical stamina is an absolute must.

00:47:21I lost my mind, and that's why I married you.

00:47:30The biggest mistake of my entire life.

00:47:32Some actress had me.

00:47:33I'm going to come back for you someday.

00:47:36Not so much.

00:47:37You know I'm technically your husband, right?

00:47:40Ten seconds.

00:47:41My dad's friend, Chris, is a dill.

00:47:44Five, four, three, two, one, and time's up.

00:47:51Let's go!

00:47:52Bro, that sucked.

00:47:55You guys ran through an entire vertical. Jesus.

00:47:58I've been doing verticals now for about three years, and I can say they've safely changed my life.

00:49:07Yo, what's up with this story time?

00:49:08Dude, we get it, dude.

00:49:11It's like, oh my god, dude.

00:49:13Like, coming out of a headache.

00:49:14It looks like we got a hater right here, bro.

00:49:16My name is Andrew Johnson.

00:49:20I am an actor, professional.

00:49:22Do you feel like there's anyone that could be your biggest competitor?

00:50:00Andrew, are you going to do this?

00:50:04No.

00:50:10I'm Nicole Maddox, an actress known for my work,

00:50:15and I'm the only one who's capable of winning this competition.

00:50:18I'm introducing something like you've never seen.

00:50:2324 of the hottest male talents in this country are competing for a lead role.

00:50:27And you decide who becomes the next real star.

00:50:31I'm introducing a new thing.

00:50:35I'm Nicole Maddox, an actress known for my work on Vertical Series.

00:50:41I want a divorce.

00:50:42And I'm Jesse Morales, an actor, dancer.

00:50:45Most of you probably know me as Andrew Hills, Chris Collins,

00:50:50and this is the next real star.

00:50:52Action.

00:50:53This is the first ever vertical reality acting competition.

00:50:5724 men from across the country will be challenged putting their acting skills to the test.

00:51:02But this isn't an ordinary audition.

00:51:04Oh, no, no, no, no.

00:51:05We will be mentoring them to see who has what it takes to be a vertical star.

00:51:10Make sure you're letting the person finish their thought.

00:51:12Slow down and mean it.

00:51:13This is going to be really hard.

00:51:15Only one person can win, though.

00:51:18The prize of acting in a show with me.

00:51:20Or me.

00:51:21Yeah, yeah.

00:51:21We can both get one.

00:51:22Uh, I don't know where you're from, but if you ain't first, you're last.

00:51:25Okay.

00:51:26Let's find the next real star.

00:51:32But I'm about to be a real star, bro.

00:51:34Let's go.

00:51:38Hello, folks.

00:51:39I'm Kiki Frags, and welcome to the competition.

00:51:42Let's go.

00:51:43Let's go.

00:51:43My name's Joshua Vasconcelos.

00:51:45I'm representing the state of Iowa.

00:51:47I'm a hunter, duck hunting, deer hunting.

00:51:50Doesn't matter what it is.

00:51:51If it flies, it dies.

00:51:52If it runs, we shoot.

00:51:54I think what makes me stand out is living in the moment.

00:51:56Every door opens an opportunity, and I'm pretty open to every opportunity that's there.

00:52:01Now, before we begin, I would like to play a few icebreakers to loosen things up.

00:52:07Some ways that we can actually get to know each other a little bit better.

00:52:11This will help dictate who you will be assigned to to be your mentor.

00:52:15Either Jesse or Nicole.

00:52:17You guys ready?

00:52:18Yeah, we're ready.

00:52:19Yeah, we're ready.

00:52:19Good.

00:52:20Then who's ready to break the ice?

00:52:23This isn't just a regular casting call.

00:52:26This is a chance at stardom.

00:52:28And for the first time, the audience gets to choose who wins.

00:52:33In this challenge, two of you guys will be facing head-to-head, reciting lines while arm wrestling

00:52:38each other.

00:52:39The loser who cannot hold their strength or remember their line will have to drink.

00:52:43How does that sound?

00:52:44Let's do it.

00:52:45Phenomenal.

00:52:45Good.

00:52:46I'm gay.

00:52:46The lines you'll be reading are from iconic real short shows.

00:52:49I'm going to come back for you someday.

00:52:52I love you, Carolyn Mills.

00:52:54Our first two contestants are John Carlos and Jacob.

00:52:58I'm Jacob Robert Kuhn.

00:52:59I'm representing Arizona.

00:53:01I have a Filipino background.

00:53:03So, you know, it was either sing, dance, or both.

00:53:06I think I have the ability to win.

00:53:08I wouldn't mind bringing home the gold.

00:53:11All right, gentlemen.

00:53:12On the count of three, you'll turn over the papers and begin the competition.

00:53:15Ready?

00:53:17One, two.

00:53:22One, two, three.

00:53:25I'm going to come back for you someday.

00:53:27I love you, Caroline.

00:53:28This is my military time.

00:53:30I want you to have it.

00:53:31A muscular physique is a requirement for any real star.

00:53:35But so is a muscular mind.

00:53:36You think I'm so poor little loser?

00:53:38Prove it.

00:53:39Cash is a check.

00:53:40Baby!

00:53:40Come on!

00:53:41The line must be delivered perfectly every single time.

00:53:46I said, keep your fucking paws off my mate.

00:53:50I lost my mind.

00:53:51That's why I married you.

00:53:52The biggest mistake of my life.

00:53:55My name is John Carlos Salazar.

00:53:56I represent Connecticut and I'm a registered nurse.

00:53:59And I aspire to be Meryl Streep.

00:54:01She is one of the best actresses of all time.

00:54:04And she is able to portray any kind of character.

00:54:07I think the term for that would be a chameleon.

00:54:17You dirt poor little maggot.

00:54:22That's an awesome performance right there.

00:54:23Congratulations, Jacob, on the win.

00:54:25Giancarlo, you have to have a drink.

00:54:28Our next contestants are Pam and Drew, also known as Drinks Andreu.

00:54:33My name is Drew Tillman.

00:54:34I'm representing the state of Indiana.

00:54:36I'm serving and bartending at a sushi restaurant.

00:54:39And actually for like a brief moment in Florida, I was a male stripper.

00:54:43Just for a little bit.

00:54:45I just recently picked up modeling.

00:54:47I do get a lot of comments, you know, on my looks.

00:54:50And I think I have a unique energy to myself.

00:54:55Go!

00:54:57I'm gonna come back for you someday.

00:54:58I love you, Caroline.

00:55:00I don't care where you sleep with this marriage.

00:55:01Come on!

00:55:03My dad's friend is like a dill.

00:55:06I'm not your boyfriend anymore, okay?

00:55:08And two, she's not a nobody.

00:55:11I'm gonna come back for you someday.

00:55:12I love you, Caroline Mills.

00:55:19They are looking for that leading man.

00:55:21They're looking for somebody who is polished, professional,

00:55:24who shows up every day, ready for adventure.

00:55:27Someone who's ready to take action when needed.

00:55:29All right, boys, that was well fought.

00:55:30I think I'm sweating just from watching that.

00:55:38So this one's called, Who's the Mole?

00:55:41Let's play.

00:55:41That's just our style.

00:55:43Well, I play sports.

00:55:45I'm around ice and I have a stick.

00:55:47My name is Joseph Woods, representing New Hampshire.

00:55:50Right now, I'm currently not doing anything.

00:55:53I've always been told that I'm very handsome and I look like Zac Efron.

00:55:57What is something about you that would surprise people?

00:56:00Oh, it's classified.

00:56:03I might also throw some punches, frequently in the cold, and there's a pretty big fan section.

00:56:09Some could say I'm a competitor.

00:56:11I'm always looking to make a goal.

00:56:13It won't take long for any real star to play someone trying to hide a secret.

00:56:17Simon, what's going on?

00:56:19Victoria, I'm so sorry.

00:56:21But I am the CEO of the Jones Group.

00:56:26So there's one mole upon us.

00:56:28I feel like you might be trying to confuse us, though.

00:56:30However, I don't know.

00:56:31Yeah.

00:56:31That's such a mole behavior again.

00:56:33Come on.

00:56:33He also has sunglasses on.

00:56:35Yeah.

00:56:36This guy has full sunglasses.

00:56:38Avoiding eye coming down.

00:56:39My name is Hayden Green.

00:56:41I am representing the state of Ohio.

00:56:43And I'm a full-time social media influencer.

00:56:46I used to being in front of the camera.

00:56:47But filming for YouTube compared to filming for a show is a little different.

00:56:52I played two years of college basketball.

00:56:54So I didn't model.

00:56:55I didn't act growing up at all.

00:56:57And then I got into bodybuilding.

00:56:59And that led me to signing with some modeling agencies.

00:57:02My biggest asset is never taking an L as a loss.

00:57:07I think L stands for lesson learned.

00:57:09And I am willing to fail a thousand times to reach my dream.

00:57:13I feel like the mole is somewhere over here.

00:57:17Somewhere over there.

00:57:18Spoken like a true mole.

00:57:23Ken, congratulations.

00:57:25No way.

00:57:26I am the mole.

00:57:27I think I've played all of you guys relatively well.

00:57:29That's great.

00:57:30I blended in well enough just to last long enough with this quaint minutes.

00:57:35Konnichiwa, watashon namae wa Ken desu.

00:57:37Hello, my name is Ken.

00:57:39I'm 20 years old.

00:57:40I'm representing the state of Hawaii.

00:57:41I am a model, a college student, and a part-time behavioral therapist with younger kids.

00:57:45I've grown up in Asia, Europe, North America, the Middle East.

00:57:49I'm motivated to win the next real star because of my cultural ambiguity.

00:57:53And this is more than just about myself.

00:57:55I believe that I represent a whole group of people.

00:57:57And acting has been a large part of my background ever since I was young.

00:58:01And this is what I love.

00:58:02Congratulations on dodging everyone's guesses.

00:58:05You were the mole, but no one could find you.

00:58:07Ken's got the look.

00:58:08He's got the chops.

00:58:10I think he might have what it takes.

00:58:12But the road ahead is steep.

00:58:14And these other men will be looking to rip that dream away from Ken.

00:58:17All these small-armed gentlemen are going to be excited for this challenge because this

00:58:30icebreaker challenge will be putting their physical stamina to the test.

00:58:35For starting up will be Tyler and Wes.

00:58:38I'm going to come back for you someday.

00:58:44I love you, Caroline Mills.

00:58:46This is my military tech.

00:58:48I want you to have it.

00:58:49My name is Tyler Mata.

00:58:50I'm representing the state of Colorado.

00:58:52I'm currently working in commercial finance.

00:58:54I actually just also got my real estate license as well.

00:58:57My previous career was modeling and acting.

00:58:59It was actually cut short because of COVID.

00:59:01I've always been kind of wanting to get back into it.

00:59:03This is kind of a door to get back into it.

00:59:05Do you make more money?

00:59:07No, no.

00:59:09It's good paying, but no, I don't.

00:59:10I actually made more money modeling and acting.

00:59:15You really think you can beat me, you dirty poor little maggot?

00:59:19You think I'm some poor loser?

00:59:21Prove it.

00:59:21Cast the check.

00:59:23It's my pup and I can smell him.

00:59:25How much do you want with this baby?

00:59:27And two, she's not a nobody.

00:59:33Let's get it.

00:59:34Let's get it.

00:59:35Next up, Josh and Noah.

00:59:37All right.

00:59:38Three, two, one.

00:59:41I'm going to come back for you someday.

00:59:43I love you, Caroline.

00:59:45You really think you can beat me?

00:59:47You dirt poor little maggot.

00:59:49You think I'm some poor loser?

00:59:51Prove it.

00:59:52Physical stamina is an absolute must.

00:59:59I lost my mind and that's why I married you.

01:00:02The biggest mistake of my entire life.

01:00:05Some actress has me.

01:00:06I'm going to come back for you someday.

01:00:07While others...

01:00:08She's not a nobody.

01:00:09Not so much.

01:00:12You know I'm technically your husband, right?

01:00:14Ten seconds.

01:00:14But my dad's friend, Chris, is a dill!

01:00:17Five, four, three, two, one, and time's up.

01:00:23Woo!

01:00:24Let's go!

01:00:25Bro, that sucked.

01:00:28You guys ran through an entire vertical.

01:00:30Jesus.

01:00:32I've been doing verticals now for about three years

01:00:35and I can say they've safely changed my life.

01:00:38You're my mate.

01:00:39I don't know who I'd be if I never found them.

01:00:44It's important for me to pair Jesse Nicole with contestants our viewers at home

01:00:47believe are worthy of winning a leading role with them.

01:00:49I just I got the packs you know they work.

01:00:56My name is Eric and I'm representing Oregon.

01:00:59I do a lot of different things.

01:01:00I have a small candy company.

01:01:02I stream online.

01:01:03I make money as a content creator.

01:01:05It's a little bit of everything.

01:01:06I grew up as a nerd and it really wasn't until after I graduated college that I started to

01:01:11embrace my identity and that's what makes my story so unique is that I wasn't always that guy.

01:01:17And I believe my story is going to touch more hearts because of that.

01:01:20Because I know what it's like to be at the bottom

01:01:22and how difficult it is to get your way to the top but it's very possible.

01:01:31I've never had this happen to me on a plane but I've never met these two people next to me

01:01:36and I got the middle seat unfortunately but the guy next to me on my left.

01:01:40Yo, what's up with this story time?

01:01:41My name is Andrew Johnson.

01:01:53I am an actor professional.

01:01:56Do you feel like there's anyone that could be your biggest competitor?

01:01:59Are you worried at all?

01:02:00No, no.

01:02:02Why?

01:02:05All right boys, this one's called the Dance Memorization Challenge.

01:02:11So, does that make sense to everyone?

01:02:13I know.

01:02:15Okay.

01:02:16I'll have to think about it.

01:02:19Every production has its divas.

01:02:21Looks like we may have found ours.

01:02:24Guys, I'm the problem on the set.

01:02:26I'm the bad boy.

01:02:28And at the end of the day, I'm the only one who's capable of winning this competition.

01:02:33Andrew, are you going to do this?

01:02:35I'm the only one who's capable of winning this competition?

01:02:37No.

01:02:5624 of the hottest male talents in this country are competing for a lead role.

01:03:00And you decide to become the next real star.

01:03:10I'm Nicole Maddox, an actress known for my work on Vertical Series.

01:03:14I want a divorce.

01:03:16And I'm Jesse Morales, an actor, dancer.

01:03:18Most of you probably know me as Andrew Hills, Chris Collins, Sylvia.

01:03:22Dang it.

01:03:23And this is the next real star, actually.

01:03:26This is the first ever vertical reality acting competition.

01:03:3024 men from across the country will be challenged putting their acting skills to the test.

01:03:36But this isn't an ordinary audition.

01:03:48Only one person can win, though.

01:03:51The prize of acting in a show with me.

01:03:53Or me.

01:03:54Yeah, yeah.

01:03:54We can both get one.

01:03:55I don't know where you're from, but if you ain't first, you're last.

01:03:58Okay.

01:03:59Let's find the next real star.

01:04:05But I'm about to be a real star, bro.

01:04:11Hello, folks.

01:04:12I'm Kiki Frags, and welcome to the competition.

01:04:15Let's go.

01:04:23It doesn't matter what it is.

01:04:24If it flies, it dies.

01:04:25If it runs, we shoot.

01:04:27I think what makes me stand out is living in the moment.

01:04:29Every door opens an opportunity, and I'm pretty open to every opportunity that's there.

01:04:34Now, before we begin, I would like to play a few icebreakers to loosen things up.

01:04:40Some ways that we can actually get to know each other a little bit better.

01:04:44This will help dictate who you will be assigned to to be your mentor.

01:04:49Either Jesse or Nicole.

01:04:50Are you guys ready?

01:04:51Yeah, we're ready.

01:04:52We're ready.

01:04:53Good.

01:04:53Then who's ready to break the ice?

01:04:56This isn't just a regular casting call.

01:04:59This is a chance at stardom.

01:05:01And for the first time, the audience gets to choose who wins.

01:05:16How does that sound?

01:05:17Let's do it.

01:05:18Yeah, phenomenal.

01:05:58I'm going to come back for you someday.

01:06:00I love you, Caroline.

01:06:01This is my military tag.

01:06:03I want you to have it.

01:06:04A muscular physique is a requirement for any real star, but so is a muscular mind.

01:06:09You think I'm so poor, little loser?

01:06:12Prove it.

01:06:12Cash is a check.

01:06:13Baby!

01:06:14Come on!

01:06:15The line must be delivered perfectly every single time.

01:06:19I said, keep your fucking bones off my mate.

01:06:22I lost my mind.

01:06:24That's why I married you.

01:06:25The biggest mistake of my life.

01:06:28My name is Giancarlo Salazar.

01:06:30I represent Connecticut and I'm a registered nurse.

01:06:32And I aspire to be Meryl Streep.

01:06:35She is one of the best actresses of all time.

01:06:37And she is able to portray any kind of character.

01:06:40I think the term for that would be a chameleon.

01:06:42Oh, there's a baby!

01:06:43Come on!

01:06:44Finish it!

01:06:45Come on, finish it!

01:06:45Come on!

01:06:46You dirt poor little maggot.

01:06:55That's an awesome performance right there.

01:06:56Congratulations, Jacob, on the win.

01:06:59Giancarlo, you have to have a drink.

01:07:01Our next contestants are Pam and Drew, also known as Drinks on Drew.

01:07:06My name is Drew Tillman.

01:07:33I don't care who you stick with this marriage or anything.

01:07:35Come on!

01:07:37My dad's friend is like a dill.

01:07:40I'm not your boyfriend anymore, okay?

01:07:42And two, she's not a nobody.

01:07:44I'm gonna come back for you someday.

01:07:45I love you, Caroline Mills.

01:07:52They are looking for that leading man.

01:07:55They're looking for somebody who is polished, professional,

01:07:58who shows up every day ready for adventure.

01:08:00Someone who's ready to take action when needed.

01:08:02All right, boys, that was well fought.

01:08:03I think I'm sweating just from watching that.

01:08:11So this one's called, Who's the Mole?

01:08:14Let's play.

01:08:14I play sports, I'm around ice, and I have a stick.

01:08:21My name is Joseph Woods, representing New Hampshire.

01:08:23Right now, I'm currently not doing anything.

01:08:25I've always been told that I'm very handsome, and I look like Zac Efron.

01:08:30What is something about you that would surprise people?

01:08:32Oh, it's classified.

01:08:34I might also throw some punches, frequently in the cold, and there's a pretty big fan section.

01:08:42Some could say I'm a competitor.

01:08:44I'm always looking to make a goal.

01:08:46It won't take long for any real star to play someone trying to hide a secret.

01:08:50Simon, what's going on?

01:08:52Victoria, I'm so sorry.

01:08:54But I am the CEO of the Jones Group.

01:08:59So there's one mole upon us.

01:09:01I feel like you might be trying to confuse us, though.

01:09:03However, I don't know.

01:09:04Yeah.

01:09:05That's such a mole behavior again.

01:09:06Come on.

01:09:06He also has sunglasses on, and that's his picture.

01:09:09Yeah.

01:09:09And this guy has full sunglasses.

01:09:11Avoiding eye contact.

01:09:12My name is Hayden Green.

01:09:14I am representing the state of Ohio, and I'm a full-time social media influencer.

01:09:19I used to be an info on the camera, but filming for YouTube,

01:09:22compared to filming for a show is a little different.

01:09:25I played two years of college basketball.

01:09:27So I didn't model.

01:09:28I didn't act growing up at all.

01:09:31And then I got into a bodybuilding, and that led me to signing with some modeling agencies.

01:09:36My biggest asset is never taking an L as a loss.

01:09:40I think L stands for lesson learned.

01:09:42And I am willing to fail a thousand times to reach my dream.

01:09:46I feel like the mole is somewhere over here.

01:09:50Somewhere over there.

01:09:51Spoken like a true mole.

01:09:56Ken, congratulations.

01:09:58No way.

01:09:59I am the mole.

01:10:00I think I've played all of you guys relatively well.

01:10:03That's right.

01:10:03I blended in well enough just to last long enough with this quaint minutes.

01:10:11Hello, my name is Ken.

01:10:12I'm 20 years old.

01:10:13I'm representing the state of Hawaii.

01:10:15I am a model, a college student, and a part-time behavioral therapist with younger kids.

01:10:19I've grown up in Asia, Europe, North America, the Middle East.

01:10:22I'm motivated to win the next real star because of my cultural ambiguity.

01:10:26And this is more than just about myself.

01:10:28I believe that I represent a whole group of people.

01:10:30And acting has been a large part of my background ever since I was young.

01:10:34And this is what I love.

01:10:35Congratulations on dodging everyone's guesses.

01:10:38You were the mole, but no one could find you.

01:10:40Ken's got the look.

01:10:41He's got the chops.

01:10:43I think he might have what it takes.

01:10:45But the road ahead is steep.

01:10:47And these other men will be looking to rip that dream away from Ken.

01:10:59All these small-armed gentlemen are going to be excited for this challenge.

01:11:02Because this icebreaker challenge will be putting their physical stamina to the test.

01:11:07Who are starting up will be Tyler and Wes.

01:11:13Let's go, Wes.

01:11:14I got my money on you, man.

01:11:16I'm going to come back for you someday.

01:11:18I love you, Caroline Mills.

01:11:20This is my military tech.

01:11:21I want you to have it.

01:11:22My name is Tyler Mata.

01:11:24I'm representing the state of Colorado.

01:11:25I'm currently working in commercial finance.

01:11:27I actually just also got my real estate license as well.

01:11:30My previous career was modeling and acting.

01:11:32It was actually cut short because of COVID.

01:11:34I've always been kind of wanting to get back into it.

01:11:37This is kind of a door to get back into it.

01:11:39Do you make more money?

01:11:41No.

01:11:42No.

01:11:42It's good paying.

01:11:43But no, I don't.

01:11:43I actually made more money modeling and acting.

01:11:49You really think you can beat me, you dirty poor little maggot?

01:11:52You think I'm some poor loser?

01:11:54Prove it.

01:11:55Cast the check.

01:11:56It's my pup and I can smell him.

01:11:59How much do you want with this baby?

01:12:00And two, she's not a nobody.

01:12:02Let's get it.

01:12:07Let's get it.

01:12:08Next up, Josh and Noah.

01:12:10All right.

01:12:11Three, two, one.

01:12:15I'm going to come back for you someday.

01:12:17I love you, Caroline.

01:12:18You really think you can beat me?

01:12:20You dirt poor little maggot.

01:12:22You think I'm some poor loser?

01:12:24Prove it.

01:12:25Physical stamina is an absolute must.

01:12:27I lost my mind.

01:12:33And that's why I married you.

01:12:36The biggest mistake of my entire life.

01:12:39Some actress had me.

01:12:39I'm going to come back for you someday.

01:12:41While others...

01:12:42She's not a nobody.

01:12:43Not so much.

01:12:43You know I'm technically your husband, right?

01:12:47Ten seconds.

01:12:48But my dad's friend, Chris, is a dill.

01:12:51Five, four, three, two, one, and time's up.

01:12:58Let's go!

01:12:59Bro, that sucked.

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

01:13:04Jesus.

01:13:05I've been doing verticals now for about three years.

01:13:08And I can say they've safely changed my life.

01:13:12You're my mate.

01:13:12I don't know who I'd be if I never found them.

01:13:17It's important for me to pair Jesse Nicole with contestants our viewers at home

01:13:21believe are worthy of winning a leading role with them.

01:13:26I just, I got the packs, you know?

01:13:28They work.

01:13:29My name is Eric and I'm representing Oregon.

01:13:32I do a lot of different things.

01:13:33I have a small candy company.

01:13:35I stream online.

01:13:36I make money as a content creator.

01:13:38It's a little bit of everything.

01:13:39I grew up as a nerd.

01:13:41And it really wasn't until after I graduated college that I started to embrace my identity.

01:13:46And that's what makes my story so unique is that I wasn't always that guy.

01:13:50And I believe my story is going to touch more hearts because of that.

01:13:53Because I know what it's like to be at the bottom.

01:13:55And how difficult it is to get your way to the top.

01:13:58But it's very possible.

01:14:05I've never had this happen to me on a plane.

01:14:07But I've never met these two people next to me.

01:14:09And I got the middle seat, unfortunately.

01:14:11But the guy next to me on my left.

01:14:13Yo, what's up with this story time?

01:14:17We get it, dude.

01:14:18It's like, oh my God, dude.

01:14:20Like, I'm gonna have a headache.

01:14:21It looks like we got a hater right here, bro.

01:14:23Don't look at me on the hater right now, bro.

01:14:25My name is Andrew Johnson.

01:14:27I am an actor.

01:14:28Professional.

01:14:29Do you feel like there's anyone that could be your biggest competitor?

01:14:32Are you worried at all?

01:14:34No.

01:14:35No.

01:14:36Why?

01:14:37All right, boys.

01:14:40This one's called the Dance Memorization Challenge.

01:14:45So, does that make sense to everyone?

01:14:46I know.

01:14:47Oh, wow.

01:14:49Okay.

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

01:14:52Every production has its divas.

01:14:54Looks like we may have found ours.

01:14:57Guys, I'm the problem on the set.

01:14:59I'm the bad boy.

01:15:02And at the end of the day, I'm the only one who's capable of winning this competition.

01:15:06Andrew, are you going to do this?

01:15:08No.

01:15:22I'm introducing something like you've never seen.

01:15:2724 of the hottest male talents in this country are competing for a lead role.

01:15:34And you decide who becomes the next real star.

01:15:44I'm Nicole Maddox, an actress known for my work on Vertical Series.

01:15:48I want a divorce.

01:15:49And I'm Jesse Morales, an actor, dancer.

01:15:51Most of you probably know me as Andrew Hills, Chris Collins, Sylvia.

01:15:57And this is the next real star, actually.

01:15:59This is the first ever vertical reality acting competition.

01:16:0324 men from across the country will be challenged putting their acting skills to the test.

01:16:09But this isn't an ordinary audition.

01:16:11Oh, no, no, no, no.

01:16:12We will be mentoring them to see who has what it takes to be a vertical star.

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

01:16:19Slow down and mean it.

01:16:20This is going to be really hard.

01:16:22Only one person can win, though.

01:16:25The prize of acting in a show with me.

01:16:27Or me.

01:16:27Yeah, yeah, we can both get one.

01:16:29I don't know where you're from, but if you ain't first, you're last.

01:16:32Okay.

01:16:32Let's find the next real star.

01:16:38But I'm about to be a real star, bro.

01:16:45Hello, folks.

01:16:46I'm Kiki Frags, and welcome to the competition.

01:16:49Let's go.

01:16:50My name is Joshua Vasconcelos.

01:16:52I'm representing the state of Iowa.

01:16:53I'm a hunter, duck hunting, deer hunting.

01:16:56It doesn't matter what it is.

01:16:57If it flies, it dies.

01:16:59If it runs, we shoot.

01:17:00I think what makes me stand out is living in the moment.

01:17:03Every door opens an opportunity, and I'm pretty open to every opportunity that's there.

01:17:09Now, before we begin, I would like to play a few icebreakers to loosen things up.

01:17:13Some ways that we can actually get to know each other a little bit better.

01:17:16This will help dictate who you will be assigned to to be your mentor, either Jesse or Nicole.

01:17:24You guys ready?

01:17:25Yeah, we're ready.

01:17:26Good. Then who's ready to break the ice?

01:17:30This isn't just a regular casting call. This is a chance at stardom. And for the first time,

01:17:36the audience gets to choose who wins.

01:17:39In this challenge, two of you guys will be facing head-to-head, reciting lines while arm wrestling

01:17:45each other. The loser who cannot hold their strength or remember their line will have to drink.

01:17:50How does that sound?

01:17:50Let's do it.

01:17:51Let's do it.

01:17:51Phenomenal.

01:17:52Let's do it.

01:17:52I'm gamey.

01:17:53The lines you'll be reading are from iconic real short shows.

01:17:56I'm going to come back for you someday.

01:17:58I love you, Carolyn Mills.

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

01:18:04I'm Jacob Robert Kuhn. I'm representing Arizona.

01:18:07I have a Filipino background, so it was either sing, dance, or both.

01:18:13I think I have the ability to win. I wouldn't mind bringing home the gold.

01:18:16All right, gentlemen. On the count of three, you'll turn over the papers and begin the competition.

01:18:22Ready? One, two.

01:18:29One, two, three.

01:18:31I'm going to come back for you someday. I love you, Caroline.

01:18:35This is my military tag. I want you to have it.

01:18:38A muscular physique is a requirement for any real star, but so is a muscular mind.

01:18:43You think I'm so poor, little loser? Prove it. Cash is a check.

01:18:47Baby!

01:18:47Come on!

01:18:48The line must be delivered perfectly every single time.

01:18:52I said, keep your fucking palms off my mate.

01:18:55I lost my mind. That's why I married you. The biggest mistake of my life.

01:19:01My name is Giancarlo Salazar. I represent Connecticut, and I'm a registered nurse.

01:19:06And I aspire to be Meryl Streep. She is one of the best actresses of all time,

01:19:10and she is able to portray any kind of character. I think the term for that would be a chameleon.

01:19:15Oh, there's a baby! Come on!

01:19:17Finish it! Come on!

01:19:23You dirt poor little maggot!

01:19:28That's an awesome performance right there.

01:19:30Congratulations, Jacob, on the win. Giancarlo, you have to have a drink.

01:19:33Our next contestants are Cam and Drew, also known as Drinks on Drew.

01:19:39My name is Drew Tillman. I'm representing the state of Indiana.

01:19:42I'm serving and bartending at a sushi restaurant.

01:19:45And actually, for like a brief moment in Florida, I was a male stripper.

01:19:50Just for a little bit.

01:19:52I just recently picked up modeling. I do get a lot of comments, you know, on my looks.

01:19:56And I think I have a unique energy to myself.

01:20:01Go!

01:20:03I'm gonna come back for you someday. I love you, Caroline.

01:20:06I don't care who you stick with this marriage.

01:20:08Come on!

01:20:10My dad's friend is like a dill.

01:20:13I'm not your boyfriend anymore, okay?

01:20:15And two, she's not a nobody.

01:20:17I'm gonna come back for you someday. I love you, Caroline Mills.

01:20:20I love you, Caroline Mills.

01:20:25They are looking for that leading man.

01:20:28They're looking for somebody who is polished, professional,

01:20:31who shows up every day, ready for adventure.

01:20:33Someone who's ready to take action when needed.

01:20:36All right, boys, that was well fought.

01:20:37I think I'm sweating just from watching that.

01:20:45So this one's called, Who's the Mole?

01:20:47Let's play.

01:20:48That's just our style.

01:20:50Well, I play sports, I'm around ice, and I have a stick.

01:20:54My name is Joseph Woods, representing New Hampshire.

01:20:57Right now, I'm currently not doing anything.

01:21:00I've always been told that I'm very handsome,

01:21:02and I look like Zac Efron.

01:21:03What is something about you that would surprise people?

01:21:06Oh, it's classified.

01:21:10I might also throw some punches, um, frequently in the cold,

01:21:13and there's a pretty big fan section.

01:21:15Some could say I'm a competitor.

01:21:17I'm always looking to make a goal.

01:21:19It won't take long for any real star to play someone trying to hide a secret.

01:21:24Simon, what's going on?

01:21:25Victoria, I'm so sorry, but I am the CEO of the Jones Group.

01:21:30So there's one mole upon us.

01:21:37However, I don't know.

01:21:37Yeah.

01:21:38That's such a mo behavior again.

01:21:39Come on.

01:21:40He also has sunglasses on, and that's a nice picture.

01:22:24Somewhere over there.

01:24:42Next up, Josh and Noah.

01:24:44All right.

01:24:44Three, two, one.

01:24:48I'm going to come back for you someday.

01:24:50I love you, Caroline.

01:24:51You really think you can beat me?

01:24:58Prove it.

01:24:58Physical stamina is an absolute must.

01:25:01I lost my mind, and that's why I married you.

01:25:10The biggest mistake of my entire life.

01:25:12Some actress had me.

01:25:13I'm going to come back for you someday.

01:25:14While others, she's not a nobody.

01:25:16Not so much.

01:25:19You know I'm technically your husband, right?

01:25:20Ten seconds.

01:25:21But my dad's friend, Chris, is a dill.

01:25:24Five, four, three, two, one, and time's up.

01:25:30Let's go.

01:25:31Let's go.

01:25:32Bro, that sucked.

01:25:35You guys ran through an entire vertical.

01:25:37Jesus.

01:25:38I've been doing verticals now for about three years,

01:25:42and I can say they've safely changed my life.

01:25:45You're my mate.

01:25:48I don't know who I'd be if I never found them.

01:25:51It's important for me to pair Jesse Nicole with contestants

01:25:53our viewers at home believe are worthy of winning a leading role with them.

01:26:00I just, I got the pecs, you know?

01:26:01They work.

01:26:02My name is Eric, and I'm representing Oregon.

01:26:05I do a lot of different things.

01:26:06I have a small candy company.

01:26:08I stream online.

01:26:10I make money as a content creator.

01:26:11It's a little bit of everything.

01:26:13I grew up as a nerd, and it really wasn't until after I graduated college that I started to

01:26:18embrace my identity.

01:26:20And that's what makes my story so unique, is that I wasn't always that guy.

01:26:24And I believe my story is going to touch more hearts because of that.

01:26:27Because I know what it's like to be at the bottom,

01:26:29and how difficult it is to get your way to the top.

01:26:31But it's very possible.

01:26:38I've never had this happen to me on a plane.

01:26:40But I've never met these two people next to me.

01:26:42And I got the middle seat, unfortunately.

01:26:45But the guy next to me on my left-

01:26:47Yo, what's up with this story time?

01:26:48My name is Andrew Johnson.

01:27:00I am an actor, professional.

01:27:02Do you feel like there's anyone that could be your biggest competitor?

01:27:05Are you worried at all?

01:27:06No, no.

01:27:09Why?

01:27:12All right, boys.

01:27:13This one's called the Dance Memorization Challenge.

01:27:18So, does that make sense to everyone?

01:27:20I know.

01:27:21Oh, wow.

01:27:22Okay.

01:27:23I'll have to think about it.

01:27:26Every production has its divas.

01:27:28Looks like we may have found ours.

01:27:31Guys, I'm the problem on the set.

01:27:33I'm the bad boy.

01:27:35And at the end of the day, I'm the only one who's capable of winning this competition.

01:27:40Andrew, are you going to do this?

01:27:44No.

01:27:48No way, sir.

01:27:58No way, sir.

01:28:01Joe.

01:28:01What is the type of drinks, a guest friend of Animal Island okay here?

01:28:05I don't know if you need something.

01:28:06So, if you have any questions, please, give me any questions.

01:28:08Maybe I can tell you to your team they will find out for you.

01:28:10Ha ha ha.

01:28:12Y'all, who won't?

01:28:13A person.

01:28:14You're welcome.

01:28:14When Uhh Maa Ponyo is coming to you,
