Does Alec eat nutritiously? How do you
balance his studies and modelling
career?
Alec goes through phases with food. Sometimes
he eats well sometimes he doesn’t. Because he
does a lot of sport, he grazes a lot. He eats a lot
of eggs, nuts, oats, rice. He does not have a huge
appetite. It's hard to balance school/
sport.acting and modelling. As his mom, this is
my job to find the balance for him He often
does his homework quite late at night or early
in the morning. He may have to do work at
lunch at school.
What is his dream role as a model? What
do you aspire for him?
We don’t have aspirations for modelling or a
dream role. We try not to make Alec think it is
the be all and end all. He just does his best, and
that’s what we focus on. He just wants to save
money and have fun and learn. He has acting
goals. To be in a film etc
Does Alec have any limitations? How do
you define his boundaries when choosing
to accept a modelling request?
Yes, he has boundaries and limitations for
modelling. He would not do anything that he
felt was wrong or that he felt uncomfortable
with. Plus I am always in the room on a shoot.
But he does do many things that may be
uncomfortable. For example having 20 buckets
of water spilled on his head for a commercial in
the middle of winter.

State your availability: Would you
travel? Work full-time, part-time? Any
hours?
Alec is always available to work if he wants
the job. We have gone interstate for a job,
and he would be happy to work overseas.
For Alec: Tell us your most memorable
experience in modelling so far?
Alec's most memorable job so far are the
sports location shoots when he gets to model
and does sport. He gets very happy about
that. Scooter shoots, soccer, shoots, etc. He
also loves when he does commercials and
gets big buffet feasts as a kid he thinks that’s
fun. He loves the friends he has made and
worked with.
As a mom, what pieces of advice could you
give to the parents reading this?
As a mom, the piece of advice I would give to
other parents is this. If you have a child that
wants to model the earlier, you start the
better. Like I said it starts from babies and
size 4. Pick an agency with integrity that is
honest about what work is available and
when. Be realistic about what to expect.
There are only a handful of kids in every size
fit and age that are working regularly. Then
they move on, and the next group moves up
to the next fit. You have to market and
manage your kids too It's teamwork with you
and the agency. Pick an agency you trust. The
moms have to do a lot of driving you have to
be up for this. You have to make sure the kids
don’t make it there focus. Otherwise, it's not
good for their self-esteem. There are many
knock backs you have to roll with that.
