Fan Casting Christian Reyes in Glass Ties

He was raised in a Latino household in Los Angeles. His childhood was marked by quiet observation rather than attention-seeking. His parents worked long hours, and emotional expression in the household was subtle rather than verbal. He developed a passion for photography in middle school, using it as a way to document emotions he couldn’t easily articulate. He attended art school on partial scholarship but struggled with confidence in professional environments. Before meeting Jane, Chris worked freelance gigs—weddings, small brand shoots, and documentary work—often feeling invisible in the industry. Jane’s agency hiring him for a campaign marks his first exposure to high-level corporate power. He is drawn to her intensity, interpreting it as confidence and certainty—qualities he feels he lacks. However, his emotional sensitivity makes him more perceptive than he realizes, especially toward manipulation disguised as affection.
