Frankie J. Alvarez as older John

HBO's Looking

This is his story. At present day, he’s grown to be an accomplished children’s book author, and a lot of his successes and influences can be accounted to the summer of ’94, albeit, a short summer. He doesn’t quite understand what is real and true, and his emotions have been subdued. In social media, and on the phone, he is stern, confident and strong, but in reality he is fragile, lacking the true bonds of real friendship. He compensates by throwing his all, into his work.
