Chicago Fire and the best Taylor Kinney shows ranked worst to best

5. Fashion House

Taylor Kinney’s debut came via the role of Luke Gianni, a fashion designer, in the 2006 television series Fashion House. The show focused on the fashion industry and the competition between two fashion houses with Kinney’s character playing a central role in the series as the creative director of the rival fashion house.

Despite being one of the main characters in the show, Kinney’s performance as Luke Gianni did not receive as much critical acclaim as some of his other roles. Some critics felt that his performance was lacking and that he did not bring the necessary depth and nuance to the character. Others praised his physical presence and screen charisma, which added to his appeal as a leading man.

One of the challenges for Kinney in playing Luke Gianni was balancing the character’s egotistical behavior with his more vulnerable moments. Luke was a complicated character with a troubled past and a lot of emotional baggage, which required Kinney to dig deeper into the character’s psyche to portray him accurately.

While Kinney’s performance in Fashion House did not receive the same level of critical acclaim as his other roles, he still brought a physical presence and charismatic energy to the character of Luke Gianni that made him a memorable part of the series.
