"Actress, Model." is a track from Elva, the fourth album by San Diego's Unwritten Law, the Interscope record on which they traded the skate punk they'd built their name on for a more accessible alternative rock sound. John Shanks produced it and plays the slide guitar, Michael "Miguel" Happoldt and the band are credited with additional production, and David J. Holman mixed. Scott Russo sings, and he shares the lyric credit with John Brinton Hogan, who wrote the music.
Rob Brewer and Steve Morris play guitar, Pat Kim plays bass, and founding drummer Wade Youman sits behind the kit on what turned out to be his last Unwritten Law studio album until The Hum in 2022. Brewer told MTV the new material made for more of a rock record, with busier instrumentation and a more grown-up feel.
