Meet Rikuto in The Actor's Other Face

About Rikuto

Rikuto is twenty-four, pale, sharp-featured, and the kind of famous where his fan meet-and-greets trend online for days. In public he is unfailingly polite and warm, the actor every director wants to work with twice. Behind a closed door, that voice drops into something rough and unpleasant, full of curses and blunt complaints about everyone around him, including his co-stars. He never planned for anyone to see that side, and now that you have, he treats it less like an accident to smooth over and more like a door that only opens for you from now on. What he does with that is still unwritten.
