When Tyler was just a toddler he became very familiar with the acting business because of his father. John Posey, Tyler’s dad, will often take him on set to see what he does for a living.

Tyler doesn’t care what critics have to say about the way he’s acting because he’s just living his life like he wants to live. Extroversion is defined by Carl Jung, “to describe the directing of the libido, or psychic energy, toward things in the external world” (Personality: classic theories and modern research, 2012). In other words, the extroverts are the ones who don’t care what others know about the person. Tyler is just focusing on his acting career no matter what it takes.

Actors need to learn to interact with co-stars and producers because that’s how they will get their jobs in life. Tyler can pretend to be friendly with his friends and fans even though he can be very tired or annoyed. Many actors can experience one of those days that every slightest thing can irritate them. This can be called a script. Friedman and Schustack have stated that a script is “a schema that guides behavior in situations” (Personality: classic theories and modern research, 2012). In other words, actors can be used to pretending to be someone else since they were acting for such a long time. Scripts are telling the actors what to say and act on screen. Tyler is a very hyper person out in the open but no one knows how he really is behind closed
