In the shadowy haze of '87, Tyler Nixon clawed into existence on July 8 at Little Company of Mary Hospital, Torrance, California—raised amid the salty temptations of Manhattan Beach. At 24, a restless student, he plunged into the industry's forbidden underbelly in 2012, lured by a sly Playboy TV casting agent's whisper. His debut co-star? A ghost from high school halls, their reunion a pulse-pounding taboo. Off-camera, Tyler chases adrenaline on skateboards and waves, riding edges that mirror his on-screen sins.
