Long live infamy. That seems to be Jeremy Meeks' story and the newly signed White Cross Management modeling member figures to be more than willing to stick to it.

People Magazine reports 31-year-old Meeks has inked a deal with the agency that also calls for them to represent him as an actor upon his release from prison on a felony conviction on street terrorism. At the time of his sentencing, Meeks was also convicted on misdemeanor obstruction of justice offenses.

Shortly after that, Meeks' mug shot became legendary when it began attracting massive hits on the Stockton Police Department's Facebook page. So popular did he become, at least a major part of Hollywood now seems to have joined him in wishing he earns an early release for good behavior on his 27-month sentence later this year.

"There is a sea of opportunities waiting for him," Meeks's agent Jim Jordan told ABC News, who is aiming to ser Meeks up with "modeling agencies around the world, endorsement deals and reality-show interests."

In prepping for his close up, Meeks assures ABC News: "I eat healthy. I do a lot of push-ups, pull-ups, dips." Meeks faces a June 27 hearing where he reportedly plans to take the stand to plead his case before San Joaquin County Judge Franklin Stephenson.

According to TMZ.com, top agency Blaze Models recently told reps for Meeks they may be able to book him with such top-tier companies as Versace and Armani, adding that the tattoos don't matter -- "gangster models" are in right now.

The source added "the teardrop," which is considered a gang sign, is now seen as "edgy and sexy," paving the way for Meeks to commander a monthly salary of up to $30,000.

Currently, Meeks remains held on $900,000 bail.
