Antonio Cipriano transformed his appearance to enter a look-alike contest for his co-star, Belmont Cameli, while filming in Vancouver [1], [2].
The prank highlights the camaraderie between the cast members of the Prime Video series Off Campus during the production of the show's second season.
Cipriano, who is 26 [1], altered his physical look to mirror Cameli's features. He then entered a fan-driven contest designed to find the best look-alike for the actor [1], [2]. The events took place in Vancouver, Canada, where the production team is currently filming season 2 [1].
Reports said the motivation for the transformation was partly to troll a hair-care commercial featuring Cameli [1], [2]. By mimicking the other actor's style and appearance, Cipriano sought to blend in with the contestants and surprise the organizers of the event.
The stunt occurred as the cast and crew continued work on the upcoming season of the series. While the contest was intended for fans, Cipriano used his proximity to Cameli and the resources available during filming to execute the disguise [1].
This incident follows other interactions between the cast members that have drawn attention from the show's fanbase. The prank serves as a promotional moment for the series, showcasing the personal dynamics of the actors behind the scenes in Vancouver [1].

This event reflects a growing trend of 'meta-marketing' where cast members engage in social media-friendly pranks to build anticipation for new seasons. By blurring the line between the actors and the fan community, the production increases organic engagement and visibility for the series ahead of its second-season premiere.
