Alex is an actor on BUTV10’s soap opera Bay State and is involved with a variety of other activities on campus.
 
HC: How did you get involved with Bay State?
 
AV: I got involved in Bay State because I talked to Professor Cavalieri and he advised I try out, and because I was impressed by all of Bay State’s accomplishments.
 
HC: Have you ever acted before?
 
AV: I was in almost every single play in high school and I also have already starred as Greg in a senior video for the Production II class at BU called “Life on Glendale Road.”
 
HC: What character do you play on Bay State?
 afa
AV: My character name is Declan, and I was the bad guy for the first three episodes, acting as a “hit man” for Nora (another character on Bay State).
 
HC: Can you reveal anything about the upcoming episodes of Bay State?
 
AV: I can’t say much about upcoming episodes, but I can say that there are some great new developments in the show and my character is going through a drastic change that will end up in a completely new character.
 
HC: Why did you choose Film and Television as your major?
 
AV: I chose the Film and TV major because I have always been interested in movies and TV shows and the major can help me in the future if I decide to pursue acting as a career.
 
HC: What else are you involved in around campus?
 
AV: Other than Bay State I do the Spanish broadcast for WTBU, for the Men and Women’s soccer teams at BU.  I am very involved in intermural sports and I love sports in general.  Last semester, I was on two different Basketball IM teams, a flag football IM team, and a soccer IM team.  This semester I am on one IM basketball team and two IM soccer teams.
