You probably recognize this dark-eyed deity from those Hilfiger ads, but we dig him for more than just his lovely looks.

Do you ever get recognized on the street? No. This bank ad I did is all over buses and phone booths in New York City, and every day I walk down the street and see myself- but I can stand right next to the poster and make faces, and people will just walk by, not even realizing it's me!
What's the one thing you couldn't live without? My skateboard. I take it everywhere. I'm really into street-skating- doing kick flips, handrails, all that.
When was the last time you were totally psyched? My stokest thing was meeting Treach from Naughty by Nature.  He's a cool cat. Also, I'm a thrill-seeker. I plan to sky-dive soon, maybe even this weekend.
Who's the lucky girl now? She's actually someone I know from back home. She's the very first girl I've dated in a year, because I've been so busy. She just gave me this pinkie ring.
What's a typical Friday night like for you? Going to a club with a bunch of friends and gettin' the groove on. Or just being alone with my girlfriend.
What were the last three CDs you bought? Digable Planet's Blow Out Comb and some Indonesian music I got from a street vendor the last time I was in New York.
What's cooler: Road Rules or The Real World ? Road Rules.
