Spending his younger years in Port Angeles, Washington, Arthur Napiontek, 20, (pronounced Nap-ee-on-ek) ventured out to Los Angeles to follow his dreams of being a Hollywood star. For most, navigating tinsel-towns path to success can be a daunting experience. But for Arthur, doors have opened right and left, with a few interesting adventures along the way.

Surrounded by the beautiful forestry of Port Angeles’s outskirts, Arthur was raised in a large one story house his father had built. Always accompanied by his dog, Heineken, his fondest memories were pretending to have gun battles at a creek that ran through his large three acre property. As he recalls, “It was amazing, I was surrounded by green everyday.”

Although his parents were never the wealthiest people, his parents always were there for him and his sister. His father is a hard working mill electrician and his mother caters to all the household needs.

Arthur spent a lot of his teen years as a sports enthusiast. One of the most significant moments in his life was scoring his first touchdown. Most of his free time was dedicated to football and wrestling, and when he wasn’t practicing he was in the weight room.

Reaching the age of 18, Arthur realized he wanted to give up his comfortable life in Port Angeles, to follow his dream. Arthur now resides in Los Angeles, and continues to work and study hard toward his career objectives.

It wasn’t long before his gym honed physique was discovered by Bruce Weber for an Abercrombie & Fitch photo shoot. This lead him to his current role as the new Hanes underwear man, set to adorn their packaging and ad campaigns nationwide.

And on the big screen Arthur plays opposite Seth Rogen in the “Pineapple Express,” which hits theaters this August. His “scene stealing” comedic interlude opposite Rogen has brought the house down in advance screenings across America and was featured at the "Young Hollywood Awards."
