The son first worked for a large department store, did a bit of advertising and was signed by a modeling agency after he appeared in newspaper photos.

Last year he had a bit part on the soap opera "Another World", has been in several TV commercials, including one for Pizza Hut, and appeared in a recent Cosmopolitan magazine feature. After doing some fashion modeling in Paris, Jiles has been in Rome these past few weeks working with famed Italian designer Giorgio Armani, he was to have returned to New York Friday and plans to spend Thanksgiving in Jacksonville with his parents.Going up from Bradenton will be his brother and sister in law, Nelon and Lisa Kirkland. |

Thanks for giving this great post about the fashion blog, he is looking too nice.
that's right, baby face + one of the best bodies!
I guess he's in his mid 50's these days.
