Get to Know Us: Alex Spear
Name: Alex Spear
Title with ACFE: Member of the Board of Directors/Token Male
Hometown: Redondo Beach
Why did you join ACFE? I wanted to find a way to get involved, and when Jessica gave me the opportunity to get in on the ground floor with an emerging charitable event that does as much good as this one, I couldn’t say no.
What is your hope for ACFE? That it continues to grow and serve as a way for entertainment industry individuals and those related to them to help contribute and fight for such a worthy cause.
What is your favorite thing about ACFE? How it was built from the ground up by Jessica, who had no previous experience running a major charity event, and how I and the rest of the board have been able to help her create something so powerful and so fun.
What’s your favorite show on TV right now? Not to be cliche, but probably Game of Thrones. Also love Better Call Saul. I watch so much television, though.
What’s your favorite movie? Ever? Cinema Paradiso (I know, I know, I’m so pretentious)
If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live and why? Los Angeles. It’s my home, my family is here, the weather is perfect, the Lakers are here, my industry is here. Can’t find a reason to leave,
What’s your Zodiac sign? Do you believe in the Zodiac? I’m literally the last day of Cancer, so I’m almost a Leo. I’m a Cleo. But no, I don’t believe in the Zodiac.
What’s your favorite pizza topping? Prosciutto. Or BBQ Chicken. Also a fan of just classic cheese or pepperoni. Side note, although I’m not a die-hard fan, I’m not anti-pineapple on pizza. I know that’s controversial.
What is your nickname? In high school, my nickname was “The Hottness.” Long story, ask me how it happened in person. But needless to say, it got so widespread that one of my teachers once asked me why everyone was calling me “The Hottness.” These days, with the exception of a few high school friends who refuse to let “The Hottness,” die, I guess the closest thing I have to a nickname is “Spear.”
What’s your favorite joke? The Cleveland Browns (My boss is a huge Browns fan and would be so mad at me if she saw this)
If you were a flavor of ice cream, what flavor would you be? Mint. Because I’m fresh.
What is your spirit animal and why? A Menguin (Half penguin, half monkey). Penguin because I always try and look dapper, and monkey because they’re smart and entertaining.
What food do you hate? Pumpkin anything.
What is your most used emoji? Not a big emoji guy. I guess just the thumbs up.
Who was the last person you texted? A group text to my squad. #Squadgoals
What’s the best piece of advice you’ve been given? Always strive to be the sane person in a room full of crazy people.
What is your guilty pleasure? This is usually a food thing, right? Mac and Cheese, or garlic bread I guess, Although I’m proud of and passionate for both.
What are your social media handles? Instagram: @TheAlexSpearience
What is the number one thing on your bucket list? Make a bucket list.
