Alex DiNovi, Up-And-Comer in Hollywood and Winner of the Best Actress Award in New York Film Festival to Star in Insanity Plea
LOS ANGELES, CA -- Dreams do come true. Alex DiNovi never thought her eight years of soccer would contribute to her “big break” into television. Pretty Tough, the pilot destined for ABC Family became a dream-turned- reality, as it was picked up by Rogers in Canada and began airing November 15th. Alex performs in a total of four episodes, giving her the unique oppor- tunity to show off yet another talent, her all-star soccer moves and athletic abilities. In one episode, she even rips off her practice shirt and leads her teammates into the ocean. The show is based on the book series by Liz Tigelaar, (Life Unexpected, Melrose Place) and directed by Stewart Hen- dler (Sorority Row). Knocking out another great leading role, Alex is co-starring in the horror film, Insanity Plea,scheduled to shoot in Texas Spring 2011. Other star names in the cast include Bryan Cal- len, Eddie Navarro and Michael Pet- ted. Alex plays, troubled teen,Casey Smith, who faces the horrific struggle in an insane asylum against the psy- chopathic and murderous Dr. Lancing. The film gives Alex an opportunity to show her edgy style. Speaking of versatility, Alex has enjoyed an interesting ride hosting her own radio/tv show Late Nights with Lexi, sharing the mic with Dane Cook as the special guest on her first episode. Last month, she was honored in Beverly Hills for the Best Film Noir Award for Purity, the independent film that has screened all over the country this year. Her role, as Alyssa Castalldi, the vengeful virgin, scored her the Best Actress Award in the New York International Film Festival this year. DiNovi said that keeping busy in the entertainment industry is something she is thankful for every day.
