Emily Matheny in "Great Gatsby" story for Great Day Houston

Congrats to Emily who recently booked an on-air segment on a roaring '20s style about "Great Gatsby" style! Here's some behind-the-scenes shots and click here to see the spot!

Model spotlight: Savannah Phillips

After a brief hiatus to attend school, Savannah is BACK on the scene! We caught up with the bubbly, leggy pro who dished about what she's been up to and what's coming down the road for her...

WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN UP TO?

"I took a break from modeling to focus on college. It was very difficult to balance castings, shoots, shows, and school all at the same time. I feel very confident that I am in a place now where I am able to balance all those things and still be successful."

WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU HAVE GIVEN TO YOUR YOUNGER SELF?

"If I could give my younger self advice it would be, to take advantage of every opportunity that is given to you, not many people in this world will get to experience the things I have so definitely take grasp of these opportunities."

FAVORITE SHOOT?

"That's such a tough question ha! I have to say one of my favorite shoots I did was for Target. I did the shoot in NY which it so happened to be my first time there! The energy was great at the set and it was just fun and exciting that I was working for Target."

WHAT'S ON YOUR RADAR?

"I have an obsession with "Scandal" starring Kerry Washington. The show keeps me on my toes, the obsession is almost unhealthy! My other unhealthy obsession is reality TV, I watch almost anything in the "reality" genre.  I know I am a tad bit late but I have two cds in rotation in my car and those are Taylor Swifts "Red" album and Justin Timberlake's "20/20" album....I cant get enough of them. My favorite movie is definitely "Higher Learning" starring the one and only TYRA BANKS.

HOW HAS MODELING WITH PAGE PARKES CHANGED YOUR LIFE?

"Modeling for PPM has definitely been a great experience. I have learned so much about this industry with PPM. From the outside looking in, people may think they know how the modeling world works, and I have been blessed enough to team up with PPM and gain the knowledge that I have. I have learned to enjoy the experiences that I have been given. My first time going to NY I was so scared and nervous, I had so many thoughts rushing through my head. Page sat me down, calmed me down and told gave me positive insight and took all my worries away...I have learned alot and grown as a person modeling with PPM. 

WHAT'S NEXT?

"The next big step for me is graduating from college! I want to continue modeling for as long as I can, enjoy all that it has to offer. My future goal include working in sports for a NFL or NBA team, on the marketing and team operations side of things, so Mark Cuban and Jerry Jones look out for me! Haha!"

Catching up with Devonric Johnson

Currently starring in Syfy's Robot Combat League, Devonric Johnson has come a long way from playing football at SMU in Dallas to modeling for high profile clients like JCPenneys and walking NY Fashion Week. He's a great example of how some of our talent juggle both modeling and acting! We caught up with him from quickly:

What is more challenging - modeling or doing TV and acting? 

Both modeling and acting can be challenging.  Each has it own set of things that can become difficult at times.  Modeling for instance you have to consistently watch your diet and be physically fit which can sometimes be challenging with holidays, vacations and other social gatherings.  In acting you need to constantly practice to perfect your craft with classes and workshops in which there are actors who have been in the business 20 years plus that still do those things.  The best way to combat the challenges of both is to have a solid regime that you can adjust if life gets in the way!

Can you tell a bit about how you got cast on the show and how that came about?

Casting for Robot Combat League was somewhat of interesting process.  The casting director had previously seen me audition for another TV show and called me in.  I was really interested in the idea of the show because I love robots and I love combat sports, not to mention be involved with a groundbreaking show was an opportunity that I could not pass up.

Favorite memory of Page Parkes?

My favorite Page Parkes memory is the first time I went to agent review in Houston.  It was a bit overwhelming but exciting to be around so many talented people in one building.  The weekend really taught me alot about myself and where I want my career to go.

How did Page Parkes Management prepare you for success?

Page Parkes Management was very thorough with preparing me for success.  The agency always gave me the best advice that helped shaped my career with classes, meetings and practice.  The close knit family environment was something that was also a huge catalyst during my development.

What's next for your career? Dream job?

Right now I'm working on developing my martial arts to translate onto the big screen and have read for a couple movie roles.  My dream job is to be an action movie star so there's no break for me!
