Date of Birth : Feb 17th 1987
Took a chance and went in on an open casting call for local director Gus Van Sant’s new film. He not only made an impression, he landed the lead role of Alex in “Elephant,” which was inspired by the horrific Columbine shootings. A natural who never studied acting and had no professional acting experience, Frost received critical acclaim for his starring role as a troubled teen-turned-killer, and the film itself went on to garner a huge buzz when it won the prestigious Palme d’Or award at Cannes in 2003.
In 2005, Alex first starred in the gritty independent film “The Lost,” directed by first-time director Chris Sivertson. The film premiered at the South by Southwest Festival and won a cult following of fans. Alex then shot the lead role opposite Alia Shawkat in the AFI 35 mm comedic short film “Queen of Cactus Cove,” directed by the Emmy Award-winning director Anna Christopher.
In addition to “Drillbit Taylor,” Frost also stars in “Stop Loss,” which was directed by Kimberly Peirce (“Boys Don’t Cry”) and produced by Scott Rudin. He plays a local boy in Texas who re-connects with his cousin (played by Ryan Phillippe) who has just returned from Iraq. The film also stars Channing Tatum, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Abbie Cornish.
