Actor, Model, and Producer Alex Mortensen (@_alex_mortensen)joins Carrie (@carrie.gillaspie) to share his story with the Candid Crew!

Alex tells us what he was like as a child, growing up playing baseball, and getting a scholarship to play at University of Nebraska-Omaha. Carrie asks Alex how living and working in Spain changed his view on the world, and the two wax nostalgic about their international travels and how it changed their lives.

Alex tells us about his first job post-grad, moving back home to pay off student debt, and making the decision to transfer his job to San Francisco. He opens up about feeling complacency in his job, stumbling upon acting, his first gig, his favorite actors, and the advice he'd give to his younger self.

Carrie runs Alex through a series of random questions and Alex turns the tables on Carrie and asks her about her goals.
