the Lionheart, and Saint Francis of Assisi," says Myles. "Woven in there are good romantic elements and some fantasy. It's a fun time." Myles is also in the Netflix original film, The Last Ferry, which premiered this March. He plays the role of Rafael, an ex-marine who is on Fire Island with his best friend, Cameron. "Without giving away too much, something happens with my ex-husband and someone finds out about it. It's about this cat and mouse game, between Rafael and Joseph, who witnesses this murder happen on Fire Island." Over the last four years, Myles has luckily landed many roles. "At this point in my career, I'm not choosing my characters. Weirdly, I keep getting evil, bad guys," he chuckles. "I get a lot of bad guys, which is really fun to play, because I'm totally the opposite from that." While he is not a "bad guy" in real life, Myles always tries to find some personal connections with his characters --something that connects to his life. "That's how you ground the character and make him realistic," he says. In his free time, Myles likes to go for walks and be outdoors. His passion for animals led him to volunteer at The Little Guild, a local nonprofit animal shelter in his hometown. "I'm a big advocate for animal rights. I have a dog I've had for 14 years. And my family is crazy, we had birds, bunnies, a horse, cats, dogs, a raccoon. I grew up around animals, I love them," he says. "[At the shelter], we would take the dogs for walks, feed animals, clean their crates. I'm a softy for dogs." Last summer, Myles married his high school sweetheart, Jhessica. She comes to set with him whenever she can take time off, but when she can't, Myles makes sure to adhere even tighter to his fitness routine and his sleep schedule. "I try to find a gym wherever I go," says the fit actor. Myles has many dreams, like being a part of an action franchise and put ting his martial arts skills to good use and starring alongside Meryl Streep, who is an icon to him. "She lives very close to my hometown, in Salisbury, Connecticut, so I see her at the supermarket all the time when I'm up here visiting my family; she seems so nice. She is so talented and versatile. It would be epic to work with her," he chuckles. Glow and Darkness has temporarily paused filming because of the coronavirus.
