Here’s Mitchell Slaggert, The Breakout Star We Want To See More Of
Mitchell Slaggert. Just saying his name already sounds hot. If you don’t know who he is yet, trust us, you’re missing out. From smouldering model campaigns to stealing scenes on-screen, Slaggert is taking over Hollywood, one thirst trap at a time.
Let’s start with the basics. The 30-year-old hunk first made waves as a top-tier model gracing campaigns for fashion powerhouses like Calvin Klein, Versace, and DSquared2. With that jawline, piercing gaze, and a physique sculpted by the gods, it’s no surprise he owned the runway before hitting the acting scene. But while modeling might have been his launchpad, acting is where this rising star has really turned heads.
His Hollywood Breakthrough
Slaggert’s acting career started gaining traction with smaller roles before his breakout moment in Gossip Girl (the reboot, of course). But it was his recurring role in HBO Max’s The Sex Lives Of College Girls in 2022 that truly put him on the radar. His character might have been part of the ensemble, but let’s face it, his presence was unforgettable.
Mitchell followed up his HBO stint with the holiday romance A Carpenter Christmas Romance in 2024. Because, of course, every actor has to tick off the classic “Lifetime Christmas movie” box. But it was his role as Ryder Sampson in Paramount+’s Landman where Mitchell has officially cemented his place as the heartthrob of the moment.
Why Landman Is the Talk of the Town
Landman is packed with drama, action, and oil tycoons, but let’s call it what it is, Mitchell Slaggert is the real showstopper. Playing Ryder Sampson, the boyfriend to Michelle Randolph’s Ainsley Norris, Slaggert has shown he can do more than just look good (although he excels at that, too). The series wrapped up its first season last month, and with a second season already confirmed, we’ll see plenty more of him.
Are we invested in the plot? Sure, but can we focus on it? Not really. Every time Slaggert is on screen, it’s hard to look elsewhere.
With Landman already renewed and his star continuing to rise, we can’t wait to see where Mitchell Slaggert goes next. We’ve already bookmarked his modeling campaigns, queued up his acting roles, and set reminders for the second season of Landman.
