Pico Alexander “Home Again”

When Pico Alexander was asked to audition for a role opposite Reese Witherspoon in Home Again — Hallie Meyers-Shyer’s debut film — he didn’t take it too seriously. The 26-year-old actor was spending time in Poland visiting family and taking care of his grandfather after reprioritizing and deciding that acting wasn’t the most important thing in his life.

He also wasn’t confident that he’d be able to win the part, thinking he looked too young to play Harry, one of three twentysomething guys trying to make it in Hollywood who end up living in Alice Kinney’s (Witherspoon) guesthouse. In Alexander’s eyes, it was a long shot.

But he sent in a tape that a friend helped him record, then left for a road trip through Spain. Not long after, he received a call saying Meyers-Shyer wanted to run through the scene with him on Skype.

“It just so happened that when we Skyped, I was on some sort of abandoned road by the Mediterranean Sea on a cliff next to a castle,” Alexander told BuzzFeed News. “It was all very cinematic. Hallie was like, ‘Who the hell is this guy?’”

After a chemistry read with Witherspoon over Skype while he was in a café that had an awful internet connection, an in-person meeting with Witherspoon in Los Angeles, and a couple of rehearsals with Meyers-Shyer and her mother — Home Again producer and famed rom-com director Nancy Meyers (The Parent Trap, Something’s Gotta Give, and The Holiday) — Alexander won the part.

“Sometimes I feel like if I were in New York or LA just auditioning, there’s no way that I would’ve gotten the part,” Alexander said. “But I was in such a positive headspace because I was taking care of family and broadening my horizons.”

Alexander grew up in the film industry. He’d visit movie sets with his father, who was a cinematographer, and it wasn’t long before he decided he wanted to join the entertainment industry himself. “I grew up in a house where there was always a camera lying around,” he said. “My dad reinforced the notion that film is a story told through a picture.”

Family legacy is a theme that comes up in Home Again. Alice’s late father, John Kinney, was an Oscar-winning filmmaker, and her mom, Lillian Stewart (Candice Bergen) appeared in his movies before the two divorced.

And of course, there’s the obvious connection to the mother-daughter writer-director duo of Meyers and Meyers-Shyer. “Hallie’s learning from her mother how to be a writer-director,” Alexander said. “She has such an in-depth knowledge of film because she’s just been studying it her entire life.”

Alexander, of course, has been doing the same. After his early years on set, he went on to study acting at LaGuardia High School in New York City and then Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University.

After college, his first real gig was in a production of Much Ado About Nothing in Washington, DC. “The intensity that I used to go through those auditions with totally matches the intensity of which I go through auditions now, even though I’m contending in a totally different league,” Alexander said. “At the time, I thought that it was meant to be and was exactly what I needed in my career.”

That league he’s referring to has not only put him in the company of Oscar-winner Witherspoon, but also Brad Pitt (in the 2017 Netflix movie War Machine), Oscar Isaac, and Jessica Chastain (both in the 2014 critically acclaimed film A Most Violent Year).

But Home Again is Alexander’s first romantic lead role, and the fact that it’s opposite a veteran isn’t lost on him. “She’s such a savvy actor and she’s got such a handle on the craft,” Alexander said of Witherspoon. “Working opposite Reese was just such an honor.”
