Needs a new agent or big break...

Is the television scene so competitive that he can't even get a series regular gig?

This guy is way too cute / good-looking to be spending his prime years doing voice acting instead of primarily being in front of a camera - unless that's exactly what he wants.

Just saw this video from last year on YouTube:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQT9iusebMI

He waltzes into the frame @ the 00:20 second mark looking effortlessly STUNNING and ridiculously videogenic. Breathtaking.

Dude is like 32 in the video, but with the hairline, glowing, fresh look and circulation on his unlined face, he could pass for early to mid 20s.

He's not a Johnny Depp nor Leonardo DiCaprio, but there are a lot worse looking and less talented actors getting regular work. Seriously... he's not a terrible actor.

I thought he was competent in "90210." I wonder why the CW didn't shuffle him onto another show on the network after "Star-Crossed."

Maybe he will get more roles as he loses the baby face and ages into a more "distinguished" look...

Well, he's co-starring on this major new TV series now called TIMELESS, and I like his old-school handsome look, because it fits into the time periods he and the other characters on the show have to go to. The way NBC's been promoting the hell out of the show, he'll definitely get some notice from that. And the first episode was pretty good and exciting/action-packed too. I will be tuning in next week, definitely.

But I love his face! It's perfect. Innocent with a twinkle, perfect.

Why do people automatically assume that since they aren't working regularly it's because they can't get a job...

maybe they don't want to tied down to something all the time, or for years on end...not knowing how long a tv show will last.

Maybe he hasn't found something he really likes.

There are so many other variables.
