Joel Drake was never one for the spotlight. As a young player from the small town of Gary Indiana his skill with the football was about the only thing that mattered to him, everything else was secondary. That included worrying about any and all communication skills. When he found early success at the ISFL level he was quickly approached by many people all hoping to make him the face of their movie/Book/toilet paper. None of those options found especially much success. Acting was the first task and that became clear very early that even in a commercial for Kraft Mac n Cheese he just didn’t have the charisma for it. Modeling for products was the obvious next choice, and Drake had no shortage of suitors still looking for his image in anything from cereal boxes to the aforementioned toilet paper. However there was a secondary issue. The intensity of the light needed to make his facial features stand out was blinding even for those used to the camera. For Drake this hurdle was simply too much to overcome, and by the second day of what was supposed to be a 2 hour shoot, he was quietly let go. Drake has still not appeared in any kind of filmed medium, but he has worked with people knowledgeable in these areas of anxiety, and hopes to expand his horizons soon.
