Keith Powers has an impressive résumé.

Many people don’t know this, but Keith kicked off his career as a model and was even signed to the prestigious Wilhelmina Agency. He was so focused on modeling that he moved to Los Angeles in 2013 with his father, Keith Sr., to pursue the career path full-time. However, his true calling was in acting.

Back in 2013, this rising star managed to score a role in the flick House Party: Tonight’s the Night. But here’s where things get really interesting—after jetting off to South Africa for the shoot, Keith was hit with a bolt of inspiration and decided to dive headfirst into the world of acting, and he decided to pursue his passion wholeheartedly.

Why do seemingly good things have to come to an end?
