Alex Hook Biography
It was as Alexandra Hook that the actress was born on 5 November 2001 in Toronto, Canada. It was there also that she was brought up until the age of 7 when her family moved to Kingston sometime in 2008. She was brought up alongside an elder brother whose name is still unknown.
Having started acting since she was a child, Hook took on many plays both in school and locally which was mostly as a way for her to develop her acting skills. Some plays she was a part of at the time include Alladin and Little Mermaid. With success in the theater, she decided that she would want to go bigger and so she started seeking out roles on TV.
As her efforts became pronounced, her mother registered her with SoHo Management which is her current management agency. However, like all other actors, when it came to transitioning from theatre to TV, she also had many rejections which she said she had become accustomed to. Soon, she got the opportunity to appear in a number of commercials before she finally got her break on TV.

Alex Hook got her first acting role in 2014 when she appeared in the TV Series documentary, Motives & Murders: Cracking the Case as Polly Klaas and then as Kara in the TV series Handsome Devils.
Her next work came in 2016 when she got the offer to appear as 12 years old Beth in the TV movie, A Nutcracker Christmas. Although her role was very little in the film, she was still able to handle it very well.
What has thus far become her real break as an actress came in 2017 when she got the roles of Frankie Gaines, Eliza Gaines, and Michael in the American drama TV series, I Am Frankie which airs on Nickelodeon. In the series, Alex Hook is an Android girl known as Frankie which now wants to become a real human.
