I had forgotten about this movie with Leigh McCormack.  A great role and a really good film.  Smiley

A one off? Why that has to be His Cinematic Highness Jordan Christopher Michael in 'Motorama'. His performance was worthy of a BA Oscar.    (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links)

Actually, JCM did appear in another movie, it was a supporting role, he played the son of Betty Broderick, in the made for TV movie Her Final Fury: The Betty Broderick Story, and I believe he was also in the sequel(s), he also appeared in an episode of Matlock, (1992) ("Mr. Awesome" ep. 6.14) which I think was his final performance as an actor, or maybe it was the Betty Broderick movies!

Wow!  His IMDb page has changed!  Several years ago it listed him in only Motorama (1991)
and later as an adult in 54 (1998).

Thanks for posting, I can now research these other shows he was in.  He's one of my favorite
actors!

He was also in another show or two I didn't list, he was so pleasing to look at!
In the Matlock Ep, he played the 12 year old son of a single/Waitress, he spend a lot of spare time drawing pictures of his favorite super heroes, and one of the Bouncers in the Bar his was working, was the main character of his latest comic, Mr. Awesome! and I think he was played by actor Jamie Sheridan of The Stand fame!  Smiley

Aidan Alexander... The Borgias (looks like this isn't in the database) He looked quite a bit like the real Gioffre Borgia!

I've added Aidan Alexander to the database.  Smiley



Most of his work seems to have been in the theatre (the three films I've added to his filmography are just short films). However, his website does assure us that he played the 'lead' role in a 2010 Nestle Wholegrain Cereal commercial!

I remember watching some of "The Borgias" years ago. Jeremy Irons was wonderful as always. I've ordered a Season 1 DVD! I'll make a note of any other boy actors that crop up as I work my way through the series...

There's an agency page here:

I also found him on a modelling agency's website!:

A couple more sites:

I can't say I've actually looked for any of the short films that are mentioned on his CV, but it's conceivable they're online somewhere. It's obvious that "The Borgias" was actually the high point of his career. One feels he's unlikely to attain such dizzying heights again - one lucky break, and that's it.... like Bretten Lord of "Lad: a Yorkshire Story"...

Great I'll check those out! I think you're right. It reminds me of Kelly Reno, the star of the Black Stallion whose acting career ended after a sad car accident. In a way, these one-off performances become more special.

nightwatcher! I did a post on Aidan Alexander some time ago after I bought the DVD of 'The Borgias'. I thought he was a very good looking boy actor and probably some of the popes of those times would've thought so too ...  Cheesy  Unfortunately, Aidan doesn't appear in the later series and nor does he appear in the DVD extras of the first season. Only where there is a scene with Jeremy Irons who keeps messing up his lines and shouting "Oh F**K!" that makes Aidan laugh do you actually see the handsome boy. Thanks for the pics.

Do TV shows count? Eli Baker was in 2014's "Growing Up Fisher," which was sadly cancelled after 1 season, and he hasn't done any acting since.
