Alexander Gould Returns to Acting, Plans Podcast on Child-Actor Life

He signals his return with a podcast focused on his child-actor experience.

Overview

  • Gould says he is re-engaging publicly and expects to launch a podcast shortly after the new year to facilitate conversations about growing up in the industry.
  • He was cast as Nemo at about age six after auditioning among thousands of children, according to his recollection.
  • He learned only after initial sessions that he had been chosen to voice the film’s title character.
  • Recording for Finding Nemo stretched over roughly three years, followed by years of promotion as the 2003 film became a major hit and later spawned Finding Dory in 2016.
  • After early success, he transitioned to live action as Shane Botwin on Weeds before stepping away from acting for a period.
