NEW YORK (AP) â€” He never even came close to winning the $1 million prize, but securing a modeling contract was easier than any immunity challenge ``Survivor'' contestant Greg Buis endured on Pulau Tiga.

Buis has been signed with T Management, Donald Trump's modeling agency.

Annie Veltri, the modeling agency's president, saw Buis at FAO Schwartz late last year, said Lisa Bytner, the agency's publicist. Buis and several other cast members from the CBS reality show were at a press conference for the ``Survivor'' board game.

Veltri approached Buis and asked to take test photos. After seeing the photos, she signed the 25-year-old Colorado resident, Bytner said.

``The one thing she changed about Greg was his hair,'' the publicist said. ``She had a stylist clean it up a little, but she feels his look is the all-American boy with sex appeal.''
