The 30-year-old actor is the lead in the musical film remake of “Valley Girl.”
In mid-March, the actor and musician was in Los Angeles and in the middle of pre-production for “Daisy Jones and the Six” when COVID-19 caused production to stop. The literary adaptation follows an acclaimed, but fictional, band from the Seventies. Whitehouse came into the project a real musician — he fronts his own band, More Like Trees, although the role required him to learn bass. Some of his costars were learning their instruments from scratch.
Music has become the through-line of Whitehouse’s career. But despite that, Whitehouse isn’t trying to typecast himself as “Mister Music Man.”When he first moved to London at age 18 to pursue music, acting wasn’t even on the radar for the now 30-year-old Brit. He got scouted by a modeling agent, and ended up doing a few campaigns for preppy teen clothing brand Jack Wills. The photographer Elaine Constantine cast him in her feature film “Northern Soul,” he got an agent, and the roles kept coming.
Some of Whitehouse’s music has ended up in the movies he’s acted in. “It just kind of happens, I become inspired by the film I’m working on, so I tend to write as the character,” he says. One of these songs ended up in the credits of “The Happy Worker.” While in quarantine, he’s been continuing to write and play for More Like Trees. The drum-and-bass trio, which also includes his older brother Matt Whitehouse, released a new album in January and they’ve been releasing videos. Whitehouse has been keeping busy; he’s also working on preproduction for a short animated film with his brother, performing on Instagram Live, and continuing to hone his bass skills.
