At first, Alex was trying to get the role of Fabian Rutter, but producers told him to tone it down and found it funny how he wore a suit at the casting. So, after some unsuccessful tries, they've decided to give him Alfie's script. They already knew that he was perfect for this role.

He was the first one, who officially confirmed that the movie The Touchstone of Ra was not a rumor.
Alex's old cast mate, Ana Mulvoy Ten, said they had to "do the most embarrassing thing that someone has to do on the first filming day". They had to kiss each other.

He was the first one to meet Alexandra Shipp. He said she was really bubbly and funny.

He met Brad Kavanagh, Eugene Simon and Ana Mulvoy Ten in the room, when all of them were waiting for the castings.
While filming the first two seasons, he was living with his castmate Eugene Simon in an apartment. Eugene said in one of newest Anubis Unlocked episodes that it was really weird not having Alex around, but he still enjoyed that in this season, there were so many scenes for Alfie and Jerome (see Jelfie).
Alex loves when Eugene Simon cooks for him.
Alex said that if he could keep one set prop, it would be Victor's watch. He said he had an unhealthy obsession with it.
