The last time we checked in with Penn alum Hollywood actor Alex Weber (C'09, Lacrosse), he had a cameo on "The Young and the Restless".
Last fall, we started our "An Actor's Path" vlog series with Penn alum Alex Weber (C'09, Lacrosse). Throughout this year we're tracking Alex's journey as a new actor here in Hollywood.
In my Alex's last post on DT, Alex starred in a commercial with some of his idols.
In this month's episode, Alex talks about a big budget commercial he was cast in, what important "actor" task he needs to finish very soon, his return to Penn, and how important networking is for an actor.

Back in October, we started our "An Actor's Path" vlog series with Penn alum Alex Weber (C'09, Lacrosse).
In my Alex's last post on DT, he won a contest that landed him an audition in front of a casting director. (Turns out he's won a part in an upcoming lacrosse movie called Crooked Arrows.)
This month, Alex continues to succeed and in fact, landed a commercial and a new web series you'll want to check out...
Back in October, we started our "An Actor's Path" vlog series with Penn alum Alex Weber (C'09, Lacrosse)."After finishing the play and coming back from the holidays, I'm looking to pursue as many opportunities as I can in pilot season. Always trying to gain exposure and fortunate to have been selected from a casting call to work with a production company that combines sports in films (see pic below). Also enrolling at additional acting studios to receive different techniques and training."Listen to more of what he has to say in his vlog above!
Last month, we started our "An Actor's Path" vlog series with Penn alum Alex Weber (C'09, Lacrosse).Which casting director workshops/classes have you been attending?
A casting director by the name of Jeffery Passero is the director of my play and it has been beneficial building a relationship with him. He has cast for several films, and plans to continue in the future. Sports Studios is a production company geared at athletics in films. Being an actor and former Division 1 athlete, this type of production is a great fit for me. I have been consistently in an on-camera class geared towards audition technique. It has been invaluable in terms of learning appropriate strategy to succeed on auditions.
Why did you get new headshots?
Having new headshots done was necessary due to the caliber of the competition's. It was originally suggested by an agent as well as my acting teacher. I agreed in that I wanted a photo that more accurately represented what I look like in person. (his old headshot HERE)
Why did you change your name?
The name change is a work in progress. It will either be Alex Bryant Weber or Bryant Weber. The motivation stems from the fact that most young actors tend to have unique names.
