When Benchmark Capital hires Cameron Lautner to become the new CEO of WeWork, he sets out to redesign the working culture of the company. With his typical British accent and emphasis on logic, Lautner focuses on making the company a “normal” place for creatives to work. However, his efforts have been met with mixed results.
Taylor Lautner
Taylor Lautner was once considered the next big thing in Hollywood when he got the role of Jacob in the Twilight movies. During the course of the three films, he earned hundreds of millions of dollars. Then, he signed a deal for an action movie called Northern Lights for up to $7.5 million. Later, he dropped out of the movie and signed on for Paramount’s Max Steel. He now has an estimated net worth of $40 million.
In addition to starring in movies, Lautner’s work includes television shows. The BBC sitcom Cuckoo starred Lautner, and he also played Dr. Cassidy Cascade in Scream Queens season 2. In the late 2000s, Lautner was a teen idol. His transformation to the Jacob Black role in the Twilight movies generated huge media attention. In 2010, he was named the highest paid teen actor in Hollywood.
O-T Fagbenle
O-T Fagbenle is the fictional CEO of WeWork. He was once played by Cameron Lautner. Lautner was persuaded by his partner Adam Neumann to review the company’s funds after he had become an interim WeWork CEO. The film also featured other WeWork executives such as Artie Minson, Sebastian Gunningham, and Sandeep Mathrani. Fagbenle’s personality is a combination of his Benchmark colleagues and his own personality.
Fagbenle was born on 22 January 1981. He is an actor and a writer. His credits include films, stage plays, and television productions. He has been nominated for an Emmy.
America Ferrera
In a new comedy called Week Crash, America Ferrera plays a young entrepreneur named Elishia Kennedy who gets caught up in the WeWork craze. The film also stars OT Fagbenle as Cameron Lautner, a partner in an investment firm. Together they try to get their company ready for an IPO.
Ferrera’s acting career has included roles in movies like “Superstore” and TV shows like “Ugly Betty.” She also voices Astrid in DreamWorks’ “How to Train Your Dragon” films. The actress is also attached to star in the upcoming “Barbie” movie by Greta Gerwig.
Cricket Brown
Cricket Brown is a young actor who has starred in short films such as Dukeland and The Unholy. In addition to WeCrashed, he has also starred in independent features, including Wake Up (directed by Olivia Wilde) and Alice at the Party. He also has performed in a variety of theatrical productions across the country.
Theo Stockman
American actor Theo Stockman has become known for his guest appearances in TV and movies. His credits include 30 Rock, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, Blue Bloods, and more. He was also a cast member in the comedy film A Good Marriage. Theo Stockman has appeared in a number of films, including the upcoming WeCrashed.
WeCrashed is based on true events and stars Kyle Marvin, America Ferrera, and O-T Fagbenle. It also stars Anthony Edwards, Theo Stockman, and Robert Emmet Lunney. The film follows the rise and fall of the co-working company WeWork, and the relationships of its co-founders Adam and Rebekah.
Teenager
Taylor Lautner was a teenager when he first rose to stardom as Jacob Black in the Twilight series. Despite the success of his role, he has been unreliable since then. After the movies finished, he was offered a contract to star in action movie Northern Lights that paid him up to $7.5 million. However, he ended up leaving the project and later signed on to the Paramount movie Max Steel.
From 2014 to 2018, Lautner has largely been involved in smaller roles. He starred in BBC’s Cuckoo in 2017 after replacing Andy Samberg due to scheduling issues. The show became a huge hit in the UK, earning Lautner two BAFTA awards for Best New Comedy Programme and Best Actor. He has also been a leading role in the MCU series Black Widow, starring as Rick Mason.
Conclusion:
Lautner’s character in WeWork is loosely based on a real-life partner. While the character in the movie is looser, the real-life counterpart is more realistic. Lautner’s character’s accent and logic make him seem like a typical Brit.
