Hallmark Star Maggie Lawson Starred Alongside Justin Timberlake In One Of His First Roles

Although "Model Behavior" was Timberlake's first movie role, he was on "The Mickey Mouse Club" in his youth and took improv classes at that time. In an Access Hollywood interview from around the time of "Model Behavior," Timberlake was asked if he had wanted to continue acting for the foreseeable future. "Well," he said, "it's something I've been thinking about for a little while, and just the opportunity came up here to do this. So I was definitely happy to do it."

Timberlake also said the role of Jason in "Model Behavior" was similar to him in real life. However, when the interviewer asked about that, Timberlake couldn't help but joke around about it. "I think [Jason's] role, he kinda plays a teen role model, hunky kind of image. So — and I'm nothing like that," Timberlake quipped. "So that's why this is such a good experience for my acting." (Minutes before, Timberlake described how he'd sign autographs for fans lined up to watch him act, proving he is just as famous as his character.) The interview played along, adding, "It's a real stretch."
