Stephen Kalyn has been circling the spotlight for a while now, with roles in Gen V‘s second season, Cruel Intentions, and Motorheads; but Amazon’s highly anticipated series Off Campus is the moment the Canadian actor steps into his true breakout moment. Based on the massively popular best-selling book series by Elle Kennedy, Kalyn plays Dean Di Laurentis, the famously charming, suspiciously smart, hockey-playing ladies’ man, and certainly one of the most beloved characters from the books.

The show follows an elite ice hockey team at Briar University and the women in their lives as they navigate love, heartbreak and self-discovery. For the show’s premiere in Los Angeles, Kalyn took VMAN behind the scenes as he suited up in a SIMKHAI suit, a custom tie by Aahan Tandon, a timeless silver and gold Rolex on the wrist, and somewhere in between, a standoff with his dog, Moose, over a French fry. Follow along as Kalyn gets ready, with exclusive commentary from your favorite campus’ newest lover boy.
