Alex Vincent was born in New Jersey. He first appeared as Andy Barclay in Child's Play (1988) when he was a six-year-old. Two years, later during the filming of Child's Play 2 (1990), the young actor endured long days and demanding action that would have tried the patience of many an older person. But Vincent persevered, winning the respect and affection of both cast and crew. In addition to his role of Andy, Vincent has appeared on television in commercials, daytime dramas, and in the feature film, Wait Until Spring, Bandini (1989). In high school, he tried to live down the image of a child star but two years later decided to give acting another try.
