Alex, who goes by the nickname Punch, and was the first person to play a live-action Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic in the never-released but widely-viewed movie The Fantastic Four, completed in 1994. Shauna and Olivia ask Alex about his career, which includes appearances in iconic films like Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Pretty Woman, Catch Me if You Can and Nope, and television series like Newhart, Murder She Wrote, Babylon 5, Party of 5, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Shameless, and Landman. Alex also has a cameo in Fantastic Four: First Steps along with his Fantastic Four 1994 co-stars. Alex, who comes from a show business family, discusses playing big parts in small movies and small parts in big movies, how those small parts lead to big parts, the roles he'd still love to play, and his work outside of acting. Alex wrote a memoir, In the Volume: My Life in Film and TV, and owns Punch Audio Studio, which specializes in audiobook narration and production. Alex, who is also an avowed Pop Culture Junkie, and his career make for fascinating, even Fantastic, listening!
