Entertaining others has become his forte and now he is taking that to the big screen with three movies on the way – VIKES, an Indie film which he stars in; F The Prom, a comedy and Cowgirl’s Story, a dramatic role opposite Bailee Madison. We took some time to sit down with the fashionable Alexander to learn more.
You recently tweeted, “I want 2 date, like, everyone I see”, but tell us about your dream leading lady.
I’m lucky that I get to work with the ladies I do! They’re insanely special inside and out. I definitely look for a sense of humor and someone that can just make fun of themselves.
As someone who essentially started their career on social media, how would you describe your online voice?

I like to keep it completely candid. I think my relationship with my followers is really cool. We can talk to each other like friends. It’s great. As far as my voice goes, I try to speak out about things I feel passionate about.
You’re filming three films right now – an Indie, a comedy and a drama. As a young actor, how do you transition within such an array of genres?

That’s what I love about acting. I love getting to delve into a ton of different characters. Getting to know your character is one of the funnest parts of the process.
Many of your Instagram posts are very fashionable and Esquire named you one of the best dressed at the Billboard awards. Who do you consider your fashion inspiration?
A lot of people! Austin Butler for one and Tom Odell for another. I love layering stuff, so I’m always looking for things to put on top of each other. I’ve also really been getting into homemade stuff lately. I’ve been getting patches and sewing them onto my jackets.
What inspired your venture into the YouTube video medium from film?
I’ve been making short films since I was in elementary school. I appeared in the movie Red Wing, directed by Will Wallace in 2013 and YouTube came shortly after. When I started my channel, I was so excited because it gave me another place to act.
Most fashionable fall accessory for 2016?
Sunglasses. I’ve been buying so many new pairs lately. I think having a good pair of sunglasses completes the look.
And lastly, everyone needs to take a break from time to time. How do you spend a day off?
I sleep, haha! I feel like I never have time to sleep with my schedule. I will usually lay in bed and read when I can. I love going to the beach and surfing. That’s definitely a good way for me to relax.
