Ok, so Verso L'Alto has always had a hard time putting himself out there for this kind of stuff: movies, tv shows, commercials: etc. So when his agent (no longer Epictitus Milburn due to conflict of interest as his coach) approached him about this idea, he was more than a little reticent. After all, L'Alto prefers to keep his focus on his play and for this reason had actually promised himself (and Milburn, his agent at the time) that he would not appear in any types of media for at leas the first three years of his professional career until he was able to make a name for himself based off of his play. This, of course, excludes team related commercials and merchandise.
Now that he has been able to do that, and may be peaking in terms of popularity and overall skill level, L'Alto told his agent that he would be willing to consider what he had to offer. What he eventually landed on was a commercial by the Baltimore Health and Human Services board to promote greater awareness for mental health issues and the treatment options available. This is a topic that has been important for him for a while and so he was glad to have the opportunity to be a voice in the narrative of normalizing mental health treatment.
