Stuart Ridnour was discovered by scout and agency owner, Page Parkes of Houston, Texas.  At the time, he was studying for his degree in Marketing and Advertising at the University of Arkansas.  Upon receiving his degree, Stuart moved home to his native city of Dallas, Texas, but was quickly advised by agents to consider moving “across the pond” to Milan, Italy in order to establish a career in the modeling and acting industry.  After he was convinced of making the international move, Stuart began working throughout Europe, traveling between Milan, Paris and New York City, working for designers such as Giorgio Armani, Versace and John Varvatos.  He later returned to the United States putting roots down in New York City, continuing to work for fashion and advertising clients—as well as appearing in television too.

Stuart’s Client List includes:  Ermenegildo Zegna, Neiman Marcus, Abercrombie & Fitch, Tommy Hilfiger, Movado, RADO, GQ magazine, Australian Vogue, Men’s Health magazine, Joop fragrance, Bud Light and Nike.  He has also appeared in television commercials and film promotions for Any Given Sunday, Zoolander, Maxim, Southwest Airlines, Papa John’s Pizza and Samsung.

When he’s not working, Stuart enjoys outdoor activities such as “Back Country” snow skiing, rock climbing and even cheering for the University of Arkansas Razorbacks.

Stuart currently resides in Dallas with family and is represented by the Kim Dawson agency.
