Born in Milan, Italy, Paolo Seganti (1965) used the boxing ring as a surrogate stage, winning the Italian Amateur Championship within six months and continuing fighting and acting (theatre) on and off for 5 years. It was in the boxing ring that he was discovered by a fashion photographer.

He went on to launch a career as a print and runway model, working with renowned photographers such as Bruce Weber, Jean-Paul Goude, Peter Lindbergh, Jean-Baptiste Mondino, supermodels Cindy Crawford and Linda Evangelista and designers including Calvin Klein, Versace and Yves Saint Laurent.

Paolo began working extensively on the New York stage receiving critical acclaim and sell-out audiences for his lead roles in EQUUS and the self-directed WHOSE LIFE IS IT ANYWAY which immediately alerted Hollywood to his potential. Paolo heralded his film debut with Woody Allen's EVERYONE SAYS I LOVE YOU, quickly followed by Johnny Stompanato in Curtis Hanson's multi-award winner LA CONFIDENTIAL, the independent feature STILL BREATHING co-starring opposite Brendan Fraser, and Franco Zefferelli's TEA WITH MUSSOLINI alongside Cher, Judi Dench and Joan Plowright.

In 1997, he was nominated for two more Soap Opera Digest Awards.

During his time away from Oakdale, Seganti has worked steadily in film, theater and television all over the world, including as the lead in the international hit show Largo Winch for two seasons.

PEOPLE
John Francis
by Joana Bonet - Barcelona - 25/07/1990

At 24, he has strong arms like a west ranger, a 2-days beard and deep and serious eyes, born in Chicago US, John Francis is the male model of the year.

He was discovered by Jean-Paul Gaultier two years ago, now he also catwalks for Valentino and many other haute couture designers.

"I worked in a gym to pay the school, when I was 19 some people told me that I should be a model, they wanted to send me to Milan but I prefered my studies". Two years later he arrived to Milan with his books, some people laughed at me 'cause I prefered to stay in the hotel studying instead of partying".

John has learned from life and has his ideals well defined, "there's something special in every person, believing in the human being is the most important thing in my life".

He doesn't consider himself handsome but knows that it's his moment, they are demanding guys with strong features, when it stops I will do other things, maybe a wall streeter, I have also discovered that I could be a representant of models and photographers, being in the other side.

John Francis and Tatjana Patitz, 1994
