‘The Yellow Birds’ director Alexandre Moors speaking about Alden…

“Looking at all the young talent in Hollywood, I must say I was very early set on Alden. He’s a step above the bunch.

He was someone who had the maturity to take on a role like [Bartle], which goes to very dark places at times and needs somebody who has a gravitas and a certain ability to understand the layers in the script.

He’s very masculine and virile, but his comical talents are amazing. He’s very light, very quick, and very sharp. It’s an amazing contrast.

It’s a question of range, he has an amazing range.

[During an hiatus in filming] Alden, instead of going back to L.A., he rented a cabin somewhere in California just so he could go fish and be by himself and not lose his focus on the character during that one month time.

That should tell you what kind of actor he is. I don’t think a lot of people would do that.”
