WRESTLER’S IN-RING INFO
CHARACTER DISPOSITION:
Lawful Evil
(Oblivious Heel who thinks he's the Babyface)
(Oblivious Heel who thinks he's the Babyface)
TENDENCY TO CHEAT:
OFTEN - In the form of interference from his bodyguard and valet, Barlon.
MOTIVATION TO COMPETE:
FAME; With his career in Hollywood sliding down the tubes, Johnny Levy has accepted a starring role in the upcoming movie 'Wrestling With The Plot': the tale of a washed-up former child actor who turns to professional wrestling to re-energize his career. Knowing next to nothing about the inner workings of the sport, his agent has convinced him to enter training and join Project: Honor in order to make his performance more convincing.
GIMMICK: Former child/young adult film and TV star, Johnny's career has been on the rocks for several years. Taking the advice of his agent, he has accepted a role in an upcoming feature film based on the life of a fictional actor-turned-professional wrestler; and what better way to practice for the role than join an actual wrestling league? Though he might have deluded himself into thinking he is still an innocent, beloved movie star, years of tabloid stories about his personal life have shown the public that he is, in fact, a narcissistic sociopath who only cares about advancing his own career and maintaining his fame. However, he seems to be oblivious to this fact, viewing himself as a top Babyface in the ring - and his very presence a boon to the prestige and ratings of the Proving Grounds brand.
FAVORITE MATCH TYPE: The ones where he wins.
LEAST FAVORITE MATCH TYPE: Anything involving weapons; he can't be risking ruining his good looks with chairshots or barbed wire.
WEAPON OF CHOICE: His driver/bodyguard, Barlon Mando.

BIOGRAPHY
The eldest child of famous Israeli-American actor, producer and director Ralph Levy, Johnny was destined for stardom ever since he was a child. Landing his first acting role at the young age of 8, he was lauded as one of the best child stars in the industry; a reputation that lasted well into his young adulthood. Transitioning from comedies to dramas, he decided to pivot into action stardom in his late 20s... after a series of disastrous flops - and a failed attempt at moving into the Director's chair - Johnny still has his wealth and family name, but his reputation has been tarnished by numerous box office bombs; to say nothing of the countless scandals he has been involved in.
Looking to re-energize his failing career and lift himself up to even higher heights, he has joined Project: Honor's Proving Grounds brand as a way to research his upcoming role in a professional wrestling feature film. A consummate method actor, he has spent the last year training with the best coaches possible to bring his skills up to snuff. He hopes a good showing in the ring will build excitement and anticipation for his upcoming film, giving him a second chance at the stardom he achieved as a child.

SUPPORTING CAST
MARY JO HASTINGS (Christina Hendricks)
JOHNNY'S BETTER HALF
One half of Hollywood power couple 'Jojo', Mary Jo Hastings is a former adult film star who was rescued from that seedy world by Johnny Levy. Using his star power and nepotistic clout within the Hollywood film industry, he has elevated the love of his life to a legitimate actress.
BARLON MANDO (Wardlow)
THE MUSCLE
A former stunt man who wanted to break into acting, Barlon was taken under Johnny's wing while working on the set of his second action film 'Gone in One Minute'. Offered a hefty salary to work as his driver and personal bodyguard - and with promises of helping him find more illustrious work in Hollywood using his contacts - Barlon has been convinced to serve under Johnny for the past several years... though, mysteriously, his employer has yet to help him land any roles.
ABEL AND CAIN LEVY (Kieran and Macaulay Culkin)
THE BROTHERS
Johnny's younger twin brothers, and polar opposites of each other. While Abel has found fame as a stand-up comic turned host of his own late night talk show, 'The Levy Factor', Cain's own attempts at reaching the same heights as his brothers have failed spectacularly; leading to several stints in rehab and a few appearances on unsavory reality shows.
QUINLAN KENNEDY (Sarah Snook)
THE BRAIN
Agent to the stars, Johnny's long-time friend and manager Quinlan Kennedy is the only stabilizing influence in the delusional, washed-up actor's life. Using her bottomless Rolodex of Hollywood contacts and firm negotiating skills, she has managed to keep her client's career above water despite recent flops and tabloid scandals. Managing to land him the leading role in a prestigious director's upcoming feature, she is largely responsible for pushing Johnny into Project Honor; convincing him that such a publicity stunt is the only way to draw the attention and buzz required for the film - and his performance - to be a proper success.
