Mark Anthony
by Angie Workman
 Stephen Pacello Photography Mark Anthony is a debuting model who has already gained great success and shows no signs of slowing. He has done promotional modeling for Alltel and will soon be participating in his first fashion show for Charlotte’s fashion week. “I’ve only been modeling since March,” Mark Anthony tells me, “but I’m getting my face out there and doing paid work. I’m getting the opportunity to model both a formal suit and a swimsuit for the fashion show, and I’m really excited because it should give me a lot of exposure.”
Mark Anthony has climbed the modeling ladder because of his determined attitude. “I got started in modeling because I applied myself to it. I was recruited by a well-known photographer in Florida who produced some really fantastic shots of me and gave me the direction I needed.” The reason for Mark Anthony’s success in such a short period of time is clear to me; he combines great looks, a phenomenal sense of humor and complete confidence in his success.
 Pat Staub Photography He also knows what it takes to succeed in the modeling industry. “I believe that one’s attitude determines their success. Modeling requires a strong desire, commitment, dedication and willingness to adapt. You also need a strong network. Rejection is something that everyone encounters, but I deal with it with a smile on my face. When something good turns me down, that just lets me know that there is something greater coming along.”
When Mark Anthony isn’t modeling, his social life keeps him extremely busy. “I like doing things like going to go-cart race tracks or playing putt-putt golf. I just enjoy being there for my friends whether we’re going to movies, amusement parks, the beach or even road trips. Music is another one of my passions and I love to just crank up my stereo and jam. I’m very open to any type of music and there’s a huge variety that I listen to, including country, rap and everything in between.”
 Modstudios It’s clear that Mark Anthony has a bright career ahead of him and he’s proud to be a part of On Display Men. “It’s great to know that I’m being represented by a great name in the industry, and On Display Men will help me get a great deal of exposure.” Mark Anthony also had a message for his fans: “Dream as if you’ll live forever and live as if you’ll die tomorrow.”
