Reality star Stephen Colletti has done well for himself following his stint on MTV’s Laguna Beach. The 21-year-old has not only ventured into the realm of scripted series, he has also appeared in several feature-length productions, with the most recent being Normal Adolescent Behavior, costarring Amber Tamblyn (Joan of Arcadia) and Ricky Ullman (Phil of the Future). Now, he is working on another big screen project, a comedy entitled Tinslestars.
According to Skelligs Productions (Deserted, Chance Meeting), the company behind Tinslestars, the film is about “two Hollywood executive posers” who try to pick up girls in Los Angeles using any means possible. Aside from Stephen Colletti, who appears in the movie as Lou Masters, Tinslestars also features up-and-coming actor J.R. Ramirez as Brandon.
Directing the project is Michelle Melgren (The Cross), who also co-wrote the script with ErinRose Widner (T.H.E.S.P.I.A.N.).
Tinslestars will come out next year, although it is not clear whether or not it will see a theatrical, limited or straight-to-DVD release. However, what fans of the Laguna Beach star can be sure of is that he will be reprising his role on the latest season of One Tree Hill, which is slated to return for its fifth season in January.
“I will be returning to season 5, but I cant give you any details as to which episode I make my return,” Stephen Colletti, who plays Chase, Brooke Davis’ (Sophia Bush) love interest on the show, said on his MySpace blog. “You will just have to watch and see…”
While Colletti has made the successful jump from reality TV to scripted shows, the same cannot be said for his former Laguna Beach costar, Kristin Cavallari. Although the 23-year-old aspiring actress has landed cameos in some television series – such as Cane and Veronica Mars – she has yet to leave a mark outside of her reality fame. She was even included in Entertainment Weekly’s “50 Dumbest People” in Hollywood, landing the 44th spot.
