Law Roach may be dressing to impress on the big screen soon.
After all, the fashion stylist—known to dress stars such as Zendaya and Kim Kardashian during the awards circuit—revealed he’s not opposed to stepping out on the Academy Awards red carpet himself one day. Indeed, the image architect shared that he’s interested in pursuing acting in the future.
“Oh absolutely.” He told Variety at the InStyle Imagemaker Awards Oct. 16 of whether he’d try on acting for size. “I want to try everything. If I’m terrible at it, at least I tried.”
The Project Runwayjudge—who has appeared on screen while playing himself in The Devil Wears Prada 2 and the Netflix sitcom Running Point—noted that he’s “done some walk on roles” and “some cameos,” but shared that he would be open to a project “when a director sees something for me.”
But the 48-year-old hasn’t started practicing the craft just yet. After all, he shared he doesn’t “have time for that” these days.

And while the America’s Next Top Model judge has a roster of successful actresses among his clients, including Angela Bassett and Priyanka Chopra Jonas, who he could surely ask for advice, don’t expect him to be turning to the Grammy-winning singers he’s styled, such asCeline Dion and Ariana Grandewhen it comes to his career pivot.
Indeed, Roach emphasized that he doesn’t have any sights set on pursuing music.
“I have worked with some of the greatest actors of all time,” he noted. “I’ve also worked with some of the greatest singers of all time, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to try to sing.”
And though Roach suggested he’s waiting for the right role to come along to officially dip his toes into acting, there has, in fact, been a filmmaker who has expressed interest in directing a project with the RuPaul’s Drag Race judge.
Oscar winner Pedro Almodóvar previously shared he wants to make a film about Roach’s bond with his most popular client Zendaya.
“I’m fascinated by Zendaya’s stylist,” Almodóvar told Vanity Fair Spain in 2024. “What he does is an enormous creative act. It involves fashion, frivolity, social commentary, and self-promotion. But above all, I think you need talent for it.”
“I’ve asked around about this guy,” he added, “I’ve been told he’s almost as much of a diva as she is. I’d love to make a movie about them, a cross between All About Eve and The Devil Wears Prada.”
And as Roach considers stepping outside of his comfort zone to try something new, see stars who pursued careers outside of Hollywood…
“I am an RN, I work in PEDs home health care,” Kate detailed in an August 2025 TikTok. “I work with one family currently. The patients already know my name and some things about me so before I come into their home, they know who I am. And I imagine they already know me.”
What she knows, though, is that helping others is quite fulfilling.
“It’s actually been a really rewarding and fun job,” Kate continued. “To come in and relieve a family of their medically challenged child so that they can spend time with their other kids and do other things.”
Noting her friend worked at a coffee shop in the Valley, the actress shared in her 2015 memoir Wildflower that she had to find something closer to their rental because she didn’t have a driver’s license.
“It was the start of the 1990s, and coffeehouses were where everyone hung out,” she detailed of working at L.A. hot spot the Living Room. “People poured out on to the street every night.” Unfortunately, she continued, “I wasn’t great at my job. I wasn’t really great at anything. I had only done two things: acted and had wild life experiences.”
She served up the tea on one tense experience in her book.
“I could tell my boss, who had hired me on the novel idea of having a washed-up former child actor behind the counter, was patient with all my learning curves, but was also irritated with me,” she wrote, revealing how he walked in while she was doing the dishes “and said, very sharply and exasperatedly, ‘Don’t use the abrasive side of the brush! All the pastry cases are getting scratched and foggy, and you can’t see what’s inside!'”
When Stranger Things’ Noah Schnapp isn’t battling supernatural beings in the Upside Down, he spends his time saving others in another way. In a 2022 interview with Flaunt magazine, the actor revealed he had a part time job as a lifeguard at his local pool during the summer.
“It’s kind of a ‘just for fun thing,'” he explained. “I’ve kind of grown up with a normal life and normal friends and stuff outside of Stranger Things, so it’s kind of kept me grounded.”
“Simultaneously when things started to slow down in acting in my early 20s, another opportunity presented itself for me with a company that I started working with at age 25,” von Detten shared in a rare interview with E! in 2021. “And I’ve been with that company ever since. It’s a sales position with a company working in finance. I’ve grown into a management position and it’s worked out really well.”
“Its true Im workin@ Superstar Salon as a makeup artist & more Im proud 2 b workin & helpin pay bills,” Blonsky wrote on X (formerly Twitter) in 2011. “BUT ill NEVER loose sight of my dreams.”
Lizzie McGuire heartthrob Clayton Snyder chose not to pursue a career in acting after the Disney Channel series ended. Why? He wanted to focus on water polo, later playing for California’s Pepperdine University.
“Frankly, when the show wrapped up, I was kind of thankful,” Snyder admitted to E! News in 2022. “I was like, ‘Okay, phew, going into high school, new chapter, that’s done. We’re going to see what this is going to be like.'”
Snyder now works in real estate in Los Angeles, though his past as a child star does occasionally come up.
“I would really like it to be you want to work with me because I’m really good at what I do and if it’s a nice piece of trivia that I’m ‘that guy’ then that’s wonderful,” he said. “We’ve had plenty of clients of where halfway through showing them homes they’re like, ‘My wife and I just found out who you are and we can’t believe it!’ But that makes me feel good because I know that’s not why they’re working with me.”
President Barack Obama nominated Korsmo as a member of the Board of Trustees of the Barry Goldwater Scholarship and Excellence in Education Foundation in 2011.
Peter Ostrum made his acting debut as Charlie Bucket in 1971’s Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, which would ultimately be his only onscreen role. After graduating from Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine in 1984, Ostrum went on to become a veterinarian.
