<p>Last spring, Chris Fronzak had big glasses, long sideburns and a wardrobe of basketball shorts and T-shirts.</p><p>But Monday night, the Mill Creek High School junior will appear on MTV's "Made" as viewers witness his change from a goofy 16-year-old to a skinny, stylish male model.</p><p>Fronzak said he's always been gregarious and friendly but he didn't feel like people who looked at him had an accurate idea of what he's really like.</p><p>"My personality wasnt reflective of the way I looked," he said. "If you looked at me, you might think I'm not a very nice person. I thought my looks should match more who I am on the inside."</p><p>He auditioned for the show during his freshman year, hamming up his version of a model's walk for the cameras and telling MTV why he was a perfect candidate for "Made."</p><p>Executives would call him back every six months or so to ask him more questions and tell him they were still interested. In June he learned he would be on TV.</p><p>The teenager spent the summer working out _ he said he's lost 30 pounds by the end of taping and said he's lost an additional 10 pounds since then.</p><p>He got contact lenses, acne treatment, a haircut, styling lessons and even a waxing on his way to two photo shoots and modeling gigs at the clothing store Buckle.</p><p>Fronzak said he thinks one of those gigs will provide a lot of the show's tension. His death-metal band, Attila, was scheduled to open a show at the Masquerade the same day he was posing in a Mall of Georgia window in front of an ever-growing crowd.</p><p>When he had to decide between staying at the mall and making it to the concert, Fronzak said he chose the band. That decision disappointed a lot of people who had come to see him model.</p><p>"I walked out, and everyone was there for me, and I just walked out," he said. "It was a very rough point, I let a lot of people down."</p><p>He said he loved modeling's benefits, particularly the pampering and travel that comes with the job, including trips to South Beach, Fla., and New York City, two places hed never been.</p><p>"I soaked it all in," he said, adding that he couldn't believe that "a regular kid from Buford, Ga., was picked from ... millions of kids."</p><p>He said when he returned to school this fall, some of his best friends walked by him without noticing him. He said his personality hasn't changed as a result of the attention, but that other people have definitely begun to notice him when they didnt before.</p><p>His MySpace page has already been overrun with people who heard about the show _ and Fronzak said he expects to have even more fans once it airs. He hopes to divert the attention to his band.</p><p>Although he said the experience was stressful at times, he would do it again in a moment's notice _ minus the waxing.</p><p>"People coming up to you, telling you how good you look, it feels great, it does a lot for your confidence and stuff," he said. "It was showing me I can be a model, I can follow through these goals and be the same kid in the same band."</p><p>___</p><p>HASH(0x1cdc308)</p>
