There is a commonality between the likes of Ben Affleck, Mel Gibson, and John Krasinski. Apart from being established actors, they have taken up directing roles behind the camera lens of movies such as Argo, Hacksaw Ridge, and A Quiet Place. Incidentally, it is an area that has piqued the interest of our latest cover star, actor Ross Butler of 13 Reasons Why fame. Though Butler has not cut his teeth in production just yet, who knows what the future holds for him given his recent meteoric rise.
The narrative does not get any different from enforced lockdowns happening across the globe — especially when people are forced to retreat inwards physically, mentally, and psychologically. Some escape into the virtual world that video games offer while others embark on a fitness journey or deep dive into the science of sourdough bread making. Butler on the other hand decided to pick up two rather unconventional quarantine hobbies — learning Arabic and getting a grasp on the production side of the entertainment industry.
“My days are varied when I’m not on a production schedule,” shares Butler. “I’m always picking up new hobbies or learning something new instead of doing the same thing for a long time.” His inquisitive nature has seen him pick up a host of hobbies prior that include wood carving, capoeira, and playing the classical guitar. You can certainly include acting to the list which he has successfully managed to craft a career out of.

Given the past decade's adoration of the bare-is-best routines, the notion of lined eyes has been mostly cast away. However, as the return of the Indie Sleaze movement returns, confronting the pressing question cannot be put off any longer.
