His big break came in 2015 when he landed the lead role in the indie film Ithaca<\/em>, directed by Meg Ryan<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cI told my mom before the audition with Meg<\/strong>, \u2018If I don\u2019t get this, I feel like I might want to take it easy on continuing,\u201d\u2019 he told the Kansas City Star<\/a><\/em>. \u201cI was on the audition grind for three or four years in L.A. and not really finding much success at all. Booking that film gave me the confidence and showed me what on-set time was like.\u201d<\/p>\n Alex<\/strong> has also been seen in movies like The Tribes of Palos Verdes<\/em>, A.X.L.<\/em>, American Woman<\/em>, and Things Heard & Seen<\/em>. He\u2019s had recurring roles on TV shows like Colony <\/em>and American Rust<\/em>, though the latter was recently canceled.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m more excited now that I don\u2019t have anything,\u201d he said about the cancellation. \u201cI\u2019ve been connected to Rust<\/em> for like four years. It\u2019s been a very big part of my life. But I\u2019m really excited to find and do something new.\u201d<\/p>\n Alex<\/strong> has revealed that he never met his Atlas counter-part Brandon Sklenar<\/strong><\/a> until summer 2024, when they did promo work together. Their paths never crossed on set as they didn\u2019t share any scenes. <\/p>\n Next up on Alex<\/strong>\u2018s film slate is a movie titled Janus <\/em>opposite Grace Van Dien<\/strong><\/a> and Natalie Alyn Lind<\/strong><\/a>. <\/p>\n Alex<\/strong> does have an Instagram account<\/a>, but he rarely ever uses it!<\/p>\n \u201cI try and stay offline as best as I can. So I haven\u2019t experienced it a lot yet personally,\u201d he told Kansas City Star.<\/em> \u201cIt\u2019s amazing that the fans are so passionate about the story \u2026 and I\u2019m really interested to see what they think because I know they\u2019re very excited and passionate about it.\u201d<\/p>\n See Alex<\/strong>\u2018s red carpet photos from the It Ends With Us<\/em> premiere<\/a>!<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p><\/div>\n
