Aside from acting and producing, Drew Van Acker also models. Acker was a lifelong theatre and sports aficionado who was born in New York and raised in New Jersey. He kept doing this all the way through college before deciding to concentrate on and pursue an acting career.
Acker started his career with minor, one-episode appearances but is now more well-known for his TV roles. His time on Castle and Greek is included in this. From there, he started to appear in other TV episodes, some of which were quite popular, and even started to make his own films. Despite the fact that his filmography may not be extensive, everything we have seen of him thus far has been excellent.
Camouflage
Movies are occasionally driven by sociopolitical movements in an effort to uplift viewers and aid in their comprehension of a certain subject. Exactly for such purpose was camouflage designed. It concentrates on examining the causes of school shootings. It seeks to show what really motivates these people to such violence, coupled with what many think is the cause because there was an upsurge in gun violence around the time it was produced. This includes going into the shooter’s youth, his school years, his sicknesses, and viewing his bullies.
Acker portrays Tim, a bully who was around the shooter. Acker does a good job of portraying him as having a charismatic, almost frat boy-like attitude who really distances himself from the shooter.
Devious Maids
A television programme called Devious Maids tracked the lives of four Hispanic maids who worked for wealthy and influential Beverly Hills homes. Because some of the secrets are illegal, people frequently learn about them while they are there and overhear information from individuals in authority that they are not meant to know. Each season follows a major mystery, but each maid also has their own problems to deal with.
The son of one of the maids, Remi, is portrayed by Acker. He has a major role in the first two seasons and appears as a guest in the third while vying for Valentina, the daughter of his mom’s boss. His mother is attempting to stop this in the meanwhile. Acker gives the role a life that no one else could and really enhances this briefer section of the narrative.
Fortress (2012)
World War II is the setting of the direct-to-video war movie Fortress. The Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress, a real jet that was essential to the aerial combat in Europe, served as the inspiration for the fictional narrative, which was itself titled after true events. “Lucky Lass,” the subject of this film, recently got a new crew after the previous one perished. Yet, there are a number of things that prevent them from getting along, such as the co-refusal pilot’s to join them for drinks the evening before their first trip. They continue to encounter issues and misfortune throughout the film, which they attribute to the co-pilot.
Acker portrays Bob Tremaine, a second lieutenant. He is excellent at depicting the typical soldier of the era, despite the fact that he isn’t a key character and isn’t around for very long. His function is nonetheless crucial to relaying the story of these bombers and their crews.
Last Survivors
In order to deceive the audience, Last Survivors defies assumptions and plays around with the point of view. Troy has been raising his kid Jake alone in the woods since a catastrophic tragedy largely devastated civilisation. Jake discovered that he had to treat every foreigner with suspicion and murder them immediately. Jake is unable to kill when he sees other people, even when Troy gets hurt and Jake needs to leave to get some medicine. Later, he finds a reason to slip back outside and starts to discover that it appears there never was an apocalypse in the first place.
Acker portrays Jake, a conflicted kid who is realising that his father has been lying to him for a long time but who has spent a long time just knowing his father. No of the circumstances, it’s a link that’s difficult to sever, and Acker does a great job of capturing that internal fight. He was an executive producer in addition.
Life Like
James and Sophie, a young couple, are followed on a new route in their life by the science fiction play Life Like. As his father passes away, James takes over as CEO and inherits a business; as a result, he and his wife Sophie move out of the city and into a mansion of their own. They eventually run upon a man who sells robots meant to serve as household servants, despite Sophie’s initial discomfort with the human wait staff, which leads to their firing. They bring Henry home to assist with domestic duties, but as they treat him more like a person, he gradually starts to behave more like one.
Acker portrays James, the active character who assists in bringing Henry to life and revealing the truth of his creation. He does a good job in the part and contributes to the film’s balance by playing a morally ambiguous protagonist who can occupy the middle ground for a while until the true adversary shows up.
Pretty Little Liars
In the well-liked teen drama Pretty Little Liars, a group of high school pals are followed in a fictitious Pennsylvanian town. After coming back together a year after Alison, their leader, vanished, an unidentified figure only known as A persistently harasses the girls throughout the seven seasons, threatening to divulge their secrets. Even though it isn’t the same opponent the entire time, it is a persona that any of the girls’ adversaries take on when they face new difficulties.
Jason DiLaurentis, a recurrent character and Alison’s half-brother, is played by Acker. He not only provides Aria with a love interest but also adds to the mystery surrounding Alison. Acker played him as if he were the primary character even though he wasn’t, giving the impression that he was a genuine person and not just a figure who existed only on the screen.
Spy Intervention
A spy named Corey Gage experiences what appears to be a midlife crisis in the action comedy Spy Intervention. Despite being regarded as the best spy in the world, he gives up his fame and his job to live a proper life with the woman of his dreams. This doesn’t last long, though, as Gage decides to go back to work in order to try to save the world and also find a way to salvage his marriage when a catastrophic weapon is used.
Gage is portrayed by Acker in the film, who brings the role to life on screen. He has a perfect grasp of how to balance the film’s comedic elements with its violent action. Acker gained an advantage and a deeper comprehension of his role because he served as the film’s executive producer.
Tower Prep
Tower Prep had an intriguing premise, despite its short existence. No one could recall how they got there or even where they were when they were at the boarding school with the same name, which was exclusive for those with extraordinary powers. There didn’t seem to be any way out either. The school’s newest student, Ian Archer, makes an attempt to flee before realising it’s impossible and meets three other pupils in the process. They quickly become close friends and work together to try to unravel the mystery of the school so they can go home.
Acker portrays Ian Archer, the lead character with the extraordinary capacity to predict events and take appropriate action. The perfect kind of hero and protagonist, he really brings the character’s characteristics to life on screen.
Training Day
There are many of crime programmes on television, and Training Day is one of them. Even though it doesn’t feature the same actors or characters from the first film of the same name, this series serves as a continuation or sequel to that film. Officer Kyle Craig is infiltrating the LAPD special investigative squad fifteen years later. He works alongside Detective Frank Roarke, who attracted the attention of the LAPD due to his off-the-books history, and they both appear to have to keep their other business private.
Acker played Detective Tommy Campbell, another member of the special investigation team, and was a member of the main cast. Acker does a good job of bringing the part to life and even has a funny professional surfer background to keep his character interesting and engaging.
