We had the good fortune of connecting with Alex Michael Torres and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Alex Michael, how do you think about risk?
One of my favorite quotes I say all the time is “No Risk, No Story.” When I decided to pursue this career path, people in my life would say it was too risky or unrealistic to pursue and it would be better to pick something safe. The problem is if you never take a risk and go after what you want, you will never get it.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
Originally when I was pursuing this career I wanted to be a backup dancer for music artists. When I originally was signed with an agency they contacted me saying they were interested in submitting me for print(not dance). After giving it a shot, a month later I did my first shoot and decided I liked it, and wanted to explore acting as well.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I would not be where I am in my career without the support of my friends and family, my amazing team at O Models and Peak Models and Talent, and all my friends I have met in the entertainment industry.
