Alex Cardillo
About:
Alex was born in Ireland, raised in Kenya and now lives in Canada. He has been acting for just over two years, since the age of 10.
He gave a stunning performance in the critically acclaimed, award winning, TV drama series, "Durham County" in the large principal role as the son Mark Verrity (season 2), with Hugh Dillon and Michelle Forbes, for which he received a nomination for the 31st Young Artist Awards in Hollywood.
This was closely followed by the very moving and vulnerable short film "Stopped"; another large principal role in the dramatic film "My Nanny's Secret" with Haylie Duff and Jessica Steen; a principal role in the Hallmark film "Family Gathering"; in episodes of two new TV series', "Blue Mountain State" and "18 To Life" and recently in two feature films "The Boy She Met On-line" and "The Stepson".

The Young Artist Awards are presented yearly by the Young Artist Foundation. Started in 1979 by long-standing Hollywood Foreign Press (Golden Globes) member Maureen Dragone, the awards were envisioned specifically as awards to be presented to talented young people in television and movies who might otherwise be overshadowed by their older co-stars. The secondary purpose of the awards is to garner attention to the foundation's scholarship fund for physically or financially challenged aspiring young artists, to allow them to pursue their dreams.
