Alex O'Loughlin is an extraordinarily talented actor and not to mention drop dead gorgeous! He will no doubt be a tremendous asset to this movie. If you've seen any of his previous work (Moonlight, The Shield, Oyster Farmer, The Incredible Journey of Mary Bryant, Feed, August Rush, The Invisible), you know what an incredible actor he is and how he completely inhabits whatever role he takes on. I can't wait to see this movie!

Great cast! Alex O'Loughlin is a very good actor with sooo much talent. He did many different characters and he's great in every role! I can't imagine no else doing this role better than him. Good looking, charming, sexy, gorgeous, handsome...he's just perfect! Can't wait to see this movie!

After laying low for almost a year, Alex is certainly back with a vengeance! In a couple of weeks we get to see him shine in 'Criminal Minds' (ep. 22), 'Three Rivers' is bound to be picked up in the fall, 'Whiteout' will be released in September and he'll start shooting 'The Back-Up Plan' next month. All I can say is 'wow'! Alex is a great actor and deserves the recognition and success that are coming his way.

Alex O'Loughlin is better at this role, the actor did not find: handsome, clever, talented. Jennifer Lopez should be proud of such a partner in the film!

I discovered Alex interpreting Mick, of vampire in Moonlight, but later I have seen him in his other roles and it is outstanding in everything what it does. He is the actor with more talent that I have seen in my life. And in his new movie I am sure that it will do a big role. I cannot hope that to see him.... we love you Alex!!!

Alex is a gorgeous and talented actor. He portrayed amazingly all his characters, from Jack in Oyster Farmer to Mick St John in Moonlight. He gave them soul and made them unforgettable
We didn't appear on screen since the cabcellation of Moonlight and I believe that 2009 will be Alex's year.
He will be guest appearing on the Criminal Mind episode 'The Big Wheel' on April 29, he is currently shooting in the CBS pilot 'Three Rivers' (fingers crossed for 3R to be picked up for this fall), he will appear in 'Whiteout' in September and with 'The Backup Plan', he makes us fans so happy.
So go Alex, you so deserve it!!!!!!

What a great year this is going to be for Alex O'Loughlin! I have everything that he has done on DVD - both TV and movies - and this brilliant man never disappoints. Now I have so much to look forward to this year - his guest starring role on Criminal Minds on 4/29/09, he is now filming the pilot for a new show called 'Three Rivers', his movie 'WhiteOut' is due in theaters on 9/25/09 - and now this lead in 'Back-Up Plan'. If you haven't already, do check out Alex's work on DVD - Oyster Farmer, FEED, Mary Bryant and other movies - and then of course Moonlight is out on DVD now, as well as The Shield, season 6.
Alex outshines all the rest in everything he is involved in, and I am so happy and excited about this movie - I can hardly wait!

This is Awesome news! Alex O'Loughlin is an amazingly talented
actor and will be an incredible asset to this movie. I only had
to see him in Moonlight for five minutes before I knew I wanted
to see everything he had ever been in. Alex is Magic and soon the
whole world will love him as much as I do...

An amazing and talented actor. I look forward to seeing him in a new movie. He might be fairly new to this industry but I don't think for too long. Also, I have enjoyed several of Jennifer's movies.
