He Starred in a Commercial With Some of His Idols

Back in October, we started our "An Actor's Path" vlog series with Penn alum Alex Weber (C'09, Lacrosse).

In my Alex's last post on DT, he won a contest that landed him an audition in front of a casting director. (Turns out he's won a part in an upcoming lacrosse movie called Crooked Arrows.)
