"America's Next Top Model" is ending after 22 cycles and "Switched at Birth" season 4 actor Nyle DiMarco, 26, is one of the those who are still in the running to become the final winner of the modelling competition created by former supermodel Tyra Banks, 41.
DiMarco was one of the models featured at the 2(X)IST Spring/Summer 2016 runway show in New York on Oct. 14, Wednesday. The newest iterations of their No-Show Briefs featured at the runway show are made from a transparent mesh material, according to New Now Next.
For DiMarco, being deaf is not a hindrance for him in his journey in "ANTM" cycle 22. In fact, he considers it as an advantage as reading body language comes naturally to him so understands how to pose with his body more easily.
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight in September, DiMarco said, "Fortunately, I'm deaf, so I don't have to hear all of their drama."
Aside from the fights that happen in the "ANTM" house every week, DiMarco also talked about his fellow models who complain about their Ty-Overs. The deaf model and actor said, "I just want to say that you all are complaining about hair, hair, hair. Am I complaining about my deafness? No, I am not."
For DiMarco, his sexiest feature is his body but his best body part is his eyes. He also added that he does work out a lot.
If DiMarco fails to become the last America's next top model of Banks' modeling competition, he is likely to have a good acting career ahead. On the Oct. 12 episode of "Switched at Birth" season 4 episode 18 titled "The Accommodations of Desire," he appeared as Garrett Banducci.
It is the third episode DiMarco played Garrett Banducci in the TV series created by Lizzy Weiss.
