-Hello Stefan, thanks for accepting to be interviewed for my online magazine, I know You're  a model and actor, how did you get started in both of them?Stefan Pinto

A photographer friend who was still in school asked me to model for one of his photography classes, taught by a very prestigious photographer. I was quite nervous and never imagined that I would later pose for this very same photographer for one of his own  projects. It wasn’t until a year later that I was buying lunch at a  supermarket, when a model scout approached me. Acting came much, much later, and it was by serendipity as my agent suggested I take some scene study classes.


-You have an amazing look,  do you think that may help to succeed?

My “look” may help me stand-out, and that could be beneficial, but I  don’t think that my success is necessarily based solely on my look. I  really believe that true success comes only after hard work determination and a strong conviction that one can achieve their goals.


-What do you consider your ultimate goal in your career?

An ultimate goal? I’m not sure, I do have many smaller goals that I set up for myself. These keep me grounded and focused. I would like to help people discover that losing weight and becoming fit isn’t as difficult or elusive as it seems. I was once considerably heavier and had never stepped into a gym. I never imagined that I would be asked to model.


-How would you describe yourself in few words? What are some characteristics of your personality?Stefan Pinto

Ha ha. Well, I enjoy observing people and their actions, especially  when they lose themselves in laughter. I care for my friends and  family a great deal and am most happy when we can laugh around the dinner table. I am a voracious reader, and also enjoy outdoor adventures, far-away trips and casual, but beautiful photography.


-Do you like to travel? What is  the most interesting place you have ever visited?

I love traveling. I only just came back from Italy (my first time!).  So far, the most interesting place -- hands down -- that I have had  the opportunity to visit was Tallinn, Estonia.


-When you were a child, what was your dream for the future? Has it  changed?

Ha ha. Most definitely! I wanted to be an airplane pilot! I had many dreams for myself. Another one was to be a business man, just like my dad. Maybe that one has come true, sort of?


-What qualities do you appreciate in your friends? What makes someone special or best friend?

Loyalty, without a doubt.


 -Thanks again Stefan, I wish you the best luck in anything you  will do!
