Part 1: Who Are The Actors Behind Poolboy Cast ReelShort Lists?
Declan Clifford as Aidan Crew
Being a scholarship student is a blessing and a curse for Aidan Crew, the swimmer in the Poolboy movie. He even has vowed to himself that he would do his lifeguarding job well for the sake of his mother.
Aidan’s mother’s $100,000 medical bills might be unreasonable to him. Yet, he has to earn the money no matter how strange and shady the future might hold for him! After all, his mother’s releases while she’s not fully recovered are the last things Aidan wants to experience.
Aidan has identified himself as gay since his debut appearances. The sexual orientation also explains his attraction to Will Harrison, the wealthy heir of the sporting goods empire!
Then, again, Declan Clifford is a suitable behind-the-scenes actor for Aidan! He previously became the gay Daniel Lippert in Fall For My Ex’s Mafia Dad movie.
The same actor also becomes the soft boy villain named Victor in ReelShort’s Fated To My Homeless Billionaire Alpha movie!
Sky Kawai as William Randolph Harrison
William Randolph Harrison, the love interest in Poolboy vertical drama, has a wealthy background. He is known as Will Harrison in nearly all episodes in the movie. Thus, Aidan and other characters refer to him as Will.
His parents not only rule the sporting goods empire. Rumors have it that Will’s parents’ empire also lets them control other industries.
Will has shown his power-playing tendencies since his debut appearance. His first encounter with Aidan happens when the two guys lock gazes in front of their lockers. Then, he does it again when Aidan frantically answers a call from the hospital.
At first, Will loves testing Aidan’s patience by throwing some flirty comments at him. His act of offering Aidan a pool management job in his mansion is just the beginning!
Personality-wise, Will hides a dark secret under his calm, collected, and intimidating demeanor. His regret in destroying Aidan’s father’s surf shop is one of the darkest secrets revealed in the movie’s ending! From there, Aidan’s decision will affect Will’s confession.
Sky Kawai might be a first-time actor. This ReelShort Interactive movie titled Poolboy is also the first ReelShort movie to feature him. However, we believe he has nailed Will’s roles brilliantly!

Christopher Manning as Joe
Joe is Aidan’s lousy boss before the latter guy works as a Poolboy in Will’s mansion. He always finds the smallest faults to pin on Aidan. At first, tardiness seems to be Aidan’s issue, while in fact, Aidan struggles to remove his problems.
Respecting other people isn’t something that comes naturally for Joe. After all, this man craves power more than anything else in the world. No wonder he shivers when Will calls him out!
Thanks to Will’s timely rescue, Aidan is set free from this toxic boss! In the end, we won’t be surprised if the cops figure out more about Joe’s crimes. Such a revelation means Aidan is not the only individual whom Joe targets!
Christopher Manning, the actor behind Joe’s role, also belongs to the 2022 edition’s Dhar Mann movie crew. For your information, this movie is a meeting point for many ReelShort actors and actresses!
No wonder Manning can adjust his dialogue with other characters in this Interactive movie. For instance, we love how he interacts with Declan Clifford, the actor behind Aidan!
Part 2: What Do We Know About The Stories In Poolboy Movie?
How Does Aidan Crew’s Love For Swimming Cause Him To Find Love?
Poolboy movie on ReelShort proves people can find love anywhere and anytime! Aidan Crew is one of the examples. His life used to be all about swimming before he met Will Harrison, the school’s king!
The first few free-to-watch episodes even feature Principal Adams’ appointment of Aidan as the swimming team captain. As a result, Aidan has to manage the team members and prepare them for the swimming competition.
It might be tiring for Aidan to do it, especially since he also works a side job as a lifeguard. Apart from these entire backstories, Aidan is also a scholarship student. Even when he doesn’t work, he struggles with the thoughts of his sick mother.
Aidan can’t just tell his family background to anybody at school, especially since his sexual orientation is different. Even Will Harrison, the charismatic heir he admires, is a straight man. At least, that’s what Aidan gets from Will in their first encounter!
Aidan never thought of Will’s deepening feelings for him. All that he knows about this bully is only as far as his annoying teasing!
What Does Will Offer To Aidan In Their Relationships?
The first few episodes of Poolboy vertical drama hint at Will’s apparent pettiness toward Aidan. Locking gazes with the glass-wearing nerdy Aidan alone isn’t something Will readily does.
Instead, he seems to assert his power and dominance over Aidan. Will doesn’t only wink at Aidan. Instead, he also tries to make this scholarship student temporarily forget himself.
Will knows his charm will make the entire school, institutions, and systems obey him. So, the next thing Will does is to snatch Aidan’s phone from him. He turned the phone off while Aidan was busy talking with the hospital personnel.
Will does these things while throwing some flirtatious and suggestive comments to Aidan! Will even advocate for Aidan’s jobs through a fairly extreme measure.
Watching more episodes will also hint at Will’s act of letting Aidan’s toxic boss fire him. Will waits until Aidan snaps to, then offers a shady but luxurious job as a Poolboy. Will pays him more than the toxic boss does, and since then, he has endlessly spoiled Aidan in bed!
By doing so, Will becomes Aidan’s wet dream of a sexy pool guy. From there, they navigate through their past and face bullies together!
Part 3: What Do We Think About Poolboy Vertical Drama On ReelShort?
Declan Clifford’s initial appearance as the nerdy Aidan Crew in the Poolboy movie captivates us! This Australian actor has previously nailed a gay man role in Fall For My Ex’s Mafia Dad movie. This time, the same actor is ready to mesmerize the audience through his relationships with Will!
We also love how both guys are close to their mother figures. Aidan shows the closeness to his mother since the first few episodes. His caring demeanor makes him work extra shifts, just like his mother before her fell!
Meanwhile, Will is close to his mom, a.k.a. the CEO-to-be in the sports equipment empire. Talking about the sports equipment and Will’s dark past, those elements are where the stories become more interesting!
Will and Aidan not only share passionate hugs and kisses in bed. Instead, as we get nearer to the movie’s episodes, we will also see how Aidan distances himself from Will!
Will wants to redeem his so-called mistakes to Aidan, as he believes he has caused Aidan’s father’s bankruptcy. So, Will takes Aidan’s blame in front of their bullies. Such actions guarantee their HEA ending until the epilogue scenes!
Part 4: Conclusions
Aidan Crew, a scholarship student and the swimming team captain, doesn’t instantly become a Poolboy. His toxic boss, Joe, becomes the reason he feels traumatized in handling harsh comments from the guests!
Aidan thought a pool-related job would either be shameful or stressful. Yet, such emotions don’t apply when Aidan locks gazes with the Will Harrison!
The Will Harrison is named that way because of his reputation! Even Principal Adams won’t dare lay her hands upon Aidan after knowing Will protects Aidan.
