- After Alex worked on the movie "3 Kings," he got very sick and needed heart surgery. George Clooney, the lead actor on "3 Kings," donated money for Alex's surgery.
- Alex holds the distinction of directing a movie from the dead. Meaning, Alex directed his heart surgeon to shoot a movie of Alex's heart surgery, while Alex was on life support.
- In 2000, Alex crashed the Oscars and was caught by security. The next day he tried again and got caught again by the same security supervisor. Shortly after, the Oscars sent Alex a letter officially "Uninviting" Alex from the Oscars unless he was working the show or was a nominee. Eventually in 2013, Alex was hired to film the Oscars Red Carpet Arrivals by a media outlet, and was permitted to do so by the Academy. Alex plans to read the Oscars "Uninvited" letter during his Oscars speech if he ever wins.
