In To Avenge, Lars plays Jameson Danvers, the youngest son of billionaire Clayton Danvers and wife, Abigail. Jameson and his older brother, along with two friends, sexually assault a recent college graduate. The men attack the young woman during a visit to a seaside resort town where her parents have a summer beach house. While her attackers are caught, the charges are dropped due to behind-the-scenes coercion from their wealthy and powerful father. While the men celebrate their freedom, the young woman struggles to regain her life in the wake of that devastating trauma. Meanwhile, a curious stranger named Taarna steps in-- determined to right the wrong.
During a recent interview with entertainment journalist Ruth Hill, Lars talked about his character, Jameson. "I don’t want to spoil anything about the story, but as most characters do when faced with a big decision, he has the opportunity to make a different choice than he does. But because he wants to be cool and be like his older brother, he goes along with him. And that’s what gripped me about this character. Unfortunately, things like this happen every day, and if we can shed some light on it so that people make better choices instead of just going along with the crowd so they don’t look uncool… maybe my character, Jameson, can make someone second guess their decisions and they will speak up and do the right thing."
Lars attended Eastern Washington University on a full athletic scholarship where he earned the Dean's list honor along with back-to-back All Conference in football. He graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in International Affairs. He speaks Japanese, Tagalog, some Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, Arabic, Spanish, Russian, and Greek.
To Avenge was created by Nick Belial who co-wrote the script with Canadian screenwriter, Erin Hazlehurst. Nick Belial will direct. Lars is represented by Debbie Britt of the Cornerstone Talent Agency.
