Meet the New Role Models

 Dennis Grayson, 25 - Hollywood Actor:

Who are they?

Grayson is a famous English actor who has made his millions in significant supporting or leading roles, first in the ITV crime series "Safety Last" and then in his first feature film, "March of the Gracious", alongside Denzel Washington. Its sequel of the same name grossed $422m worldwide and boosted him to stardom and a staggering net worth of $17m. Now, in his third feature film, he stars as the leader of a special operations group flushing out a national drug cartel in England.

Aside from the obvious fame of starring in some big hits, Grayson has made a name for himself as a down-to-earth guy always willing to interact with his fans. He has donated to good causes too like the Samaritan's Purse which received £500,000 from the star. Despite being charitable, Grayson is also perfect for the front cover of my new magazine because of the expensive brands he uses such as Mustang and Rolex, owning several of both and therefore being the pinnacle of young people's aspirations to be rich and famous.

Furthermore, his humble upbringing in a lower middle-class family makes him even better for aspirational young people who can be inspired by his example of hard work to get where he is today. He has had success early on but attributes that to his commitment and constant refining of his craft (acting). On set, he is known for taking direction seriously and being extremely committed to nailing every shot, down to the subtle nuances of body language.

Therefore, Grayson deserves his success due to his hard work and stands as an example of what young people can achieve and aspire to be like.


Sarah Mills, 26 - Hollywood Director:

Who are they?

Mills is the new kid on the block in Hollywood with a swift rise through the ranks of independent cinema with her worldwide hit, "The Jockey", selling rights to 12 different countries during the Cannes film festival. She spent two years and a half years making it with committed friends from her local area and gained funding at the end from the BFI Film Commission to give it that professional finish. After a failed attempt to fund a short TV series from Japanese investors, Mills started work on her second feature funded by a small production company, Morgan Pictures, which was released with the name "Jamboree" and grossed $16m worldwide from a budget of $2.5m.

Now comes her third feature film in association with the same Morgan Pictures but backed by Universal with a large budget of $30m which is expected to gross over $200m due to the presence of Christian Bale as the leading actor in a re-release of the popular noir film, "The Maltese Falcon". It is set to release two weeks after our exclusive issue with her is released and should push her net value above the $10m threshold.

With such a sharp rise to Hollywood stardom, the Californian attributes her success to learning the business of filmmaking and using the system to her advantage. She is perfect as a front cover star not only to attract a female audience but because she represents the American Dream that anybody can achieve success with stoic values of hard work and true grit.
