There’s a cute alien in our midst - and we love him! Say hello to ALEXANDER LUDWIG (16) who plays a teen with paranormal powers in the upcoming flick Race to Witch Mountain (see movie review).
*He was born on 7 May 1992 in Vancouver, Canada.
*He’s best known for his role as Will Stanton in the 2007 fantasy film The Seeker: The Dark Is Rising. “Ever since I was a kid I wanted superpowers and in this movie I could do almost anything except fly,” he says.
*He lives with his parents and three siblings (two sisters and a brother) in Vancouver.
*He begged his parents to allow him to pursue acting. “My mom and dad were kind of iffy about the whole thing. The kid actor thing can get a bit warped.”
*His parents eventually relented and he started his acting career at nine in a Harry Potter toy commercial.
*He’s amped about his new role opposite Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson in Race to Witch Mountain. “I had no idea what was going to come next. This has been such a roller-coaster ride, the opportunity of a lifetime.”
