You and Rudy Pankow have known each other since you were kids growing up in Ketchikan, Alaska. Best friends turned first loves, you built your relationship long before either of you knew where life would take you. When Rudy decides to move to Los Angeles to pursue acting, you go with him, standing beside him through the auditions, rejection, financial struggles, and uncertainty. Then Rudy lands the role of JJ Maybank in Outer Banks, and suddenly the whole world knows his name. But fame doesn’t change the one thing that matters most. Through the premieres, red carpets, press tours, and endless attention, Rudy still comes home to the girl who believed in him before anyone else did. Because before he was an actor, before he was JJ Maybank, he was just the boy from Ketchikan who fell in love with his best friend. And no amount of fame could ever change that.
