Instagram recommended someone named Skyler Paulley, who has an alphabet soup of acronyms in his tagline: SPH, 2x AFKA, 5 Star Ambassador, Regal HOV, JV, Christian, CPR.
It doesn't include much more information, just a lot of shirtless, sports, and hugging-buddies shots.
His Dad, Ronnie Paulley Jr. (Proverbs 3:6: "In everything you do, put God first."), translates on his Facebook page:
SPH is a casting studio.
AFKA: American Freestyle Karate Association. Two wins.
5 Star Ambassador: for martial arts.
Regal HOV: Induction in the Martial Arts Hall of Fame.
Junior Varsity in soccer, basketball, football, baseball, wakeboarding, and track. When does the dude find the time to act?
And he knows CPR.Skyler is also a model. Here he poses for Dillard's, and tells us: "I truly believe that God gives us these journeys, and we only succeed when we let Him lead the way."
The teen idol website doesn't add any information. More shirtless and sports photos, sometimes with cute companions.
He posts two photos with his girlfriend (not hugging or kissing).
In June 2026, Dad Ronnie takes Skyler and his buddy to The Mandalorian and Grogu. But if Skyler has a girlfriend, wouldn't he take her?
So, quoting Bible verses and saying that "God gives us these journeys" usually means homophobic, and "girlfriend" usually means straight .I 'd give him a miss except for his role in Hocus Pocus: The Mini-Series (2025).
The Sanderson Sisters, three wacky witches from Hocus Pocus (1993), are zapped into the modern world, where they bedevil teenage Kevin (Skyler) and his family. Winifred, the character made famous by Bette Midler, is played by director Nathan Lampone in drag.
The romance doesn't last -- by the second season, Kevin has a girlfriend, and Billy has moved on to a guy named Noah (Connor Roden), who reveals a "secret" in Episode 12.
Wait -- how did Bible-quoting Skyler get involved with a queer-friendly group?
He's got ten acting credits listed on the IMDB. In 2023 he appeared in Kelly Clarkson's music video I Dare You (to Love), which features a gay couple getting married, another with their baby, and several rainbow hearts. Everything else is from 2025 or 2026.
