@vinniehacker , CULT100 cover star and thirst trapper par excellence, is attempting what some might call the impossible: to parlay his massive online following into more “legitimate” forms.
Many social media behemoths before him, from Jake Paul to Addison Rae, have navigated the same terrain. “My end goal, honestly, is to be the opposite of what I started out as,” the 23-year-old tells writer Barrett Swanson. “Like if I could, I would voice act, model, and act.”
The dream, it seems, is coming true: He recently landed a role in the third season of
@euphoria , and has freshly wrapped a voice-acting gig for ‘Sakamoto Days,’ an anime whose first season is currently streaming on Netflix, and created a new manga, ‘The Escape,’ for “Attack on Titan” publisher
@kodanshamanga .

// The 100 individuals on CULTURED’s third annual CULT100 list span disciplines and generations. Some are household names, others operate behind the scenes. All of them are choosing risk over reward, curiosity over cynicism, and are shaping culture in real time. Each offers something that the algorithm never will. //
