Alexander Elliott Gay or Girlfriend? Look who’s starring in a movie about modern-day dating and the dark side of the internets? It’s 20-year-old Canuck actor Alexander Elliott who’s the male lead in the upcoming Lifetime TV movie, Dateless to Dangerous: My Son’s Secret Life.
Alexander might just be one of the most exciting young talents coming out of Canada right now. If you’ve caught Hulu’s The Hardy Boys, you’ll instantly recognize him as Joe Hardy, the clever, daring teen detective who brought a beloved character to life with charm and energy.
He started in the biz pretty early. By six, he was already dancing, and not long after, he was part of the Charactors Theatre Troupe, a musical theatre group for kids. That early training clearly paid off. By the time he was 11, he’d landed a role as Agent O’Que on the Emmy-winning kids’ show Odd Squad. Two years later, he was on stage at the prestigious Stratford Festival, playing Winthrop Paroo in The Music Man.
