In the wake of a recent strike-induced hiatus, American actor Taylor Napier, known for his role as Maksim in Prime Video’s ‘The Wheel of Time,’ took to Instagram in August to treat fans to a visual delight. Thanks to renowned London-based photographer Daniel Jaems, who shot this series of striking photographs that encapsulate the actor’s charm and charisma.

Taylor Napier’s Instagram post read, “Due to the strike, I can’t promote a specific show on the network that you order books and toilet paper from that may or may not be coming out this week on Thursday evening US/Friday morning UK. I’ve decided to do what any good actor does when they’ve got no other options. Promote themselves. Get ready for a whole lotta me this week. Probably too much. I would think it was too much, but I’ll let you decide.”




Amidst the strike-induced hiatus, Taylor Napier found solace in his Instagram feed, turning it into a daily journal of sorts. He humorously noted, “No week of self-promotion would be complete without a self-congratulatory post about how amazing my hair is. Though it does have help. I mean, I currently look like I woke up and stuck my hand in a socket. On the show about a moveable circle of a cooking herb, that help comes from the outrageously talented head of HMUP @davinajl and @hunakagawa, along with the rest of the amazing team. It truly takes a village to make me look this good.” He’s funny.

Notably, Taylor Napier secured his role as Maksim in Prime Video's 'The Wheel of Time' back in 2019, and his journey since then has been nothing short of extraordinary.
