Alden Caleb Ehrenreich (born November 22, 1989) is an American actor. He made his feature film debut in Francis Ford Coppola's independent film Tetro (2009) and appeared in Coppola's next film, Twixt (2011). In 2013, he co-starred in Woody Allen's Blue Jasmine, Stoker and the fantasy film Beautiful Creatures. Ehrenreich will have a lead role in Warren Beatty's upcoming untitled project (2015) and will co-star in the Coen brother's Hail, Caesar! (2016).
Early life
Ehrenreich was born in Los Angeles, California, the son of Sari, an interior designer, and Mark Ehrenreich. His stepfather, Harry, is an orthodontist. His family is Jewish, and he was raised in Reconstructionist Judaism. Ehrenreich began acting at the Palisades Elementary School in Pacific Palisades, California, and continued doing so at Crossroads School in Santa Monica, California. He graduated from New York University's Tisch School of the Arts with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 2012.
Career
Ehrenreich was discovered at a friend's bat mitzvah reception by Steven Spielberg, when Spielberg saw a short comedy movie featuring Ehrenreich. Ehrenreich has described the comedic performance he gave in the movie as: "I ran around as a skinny little punk, trying on girls' clothes and eating dirt." The meeting with Spielberg led to acting roles on television shows.
In 2007, Ehrenreich auditioned and won the role of Bennie Tetrocini in Francis Ford Coppola's movie Tetro. Coppola requested Ehrenreich read a passage from The Catcher in the Rye for his main audition.
In 2009, he founded the theatre and film company, The Collectin, with Zoe Worth.
In April 2012, he replaced Jack O'Connell in the role of Ethan Wate in Warner Bros.' fantasy-drama Beautiful Creatures; the film was released in February 2013.
On September 2, 2014, Variety reported that Ehrenreich would be joining the cast of the Coen brothers' newest film, Hail, Caesar!, starring alongside Josh Brolin, George Clooney, Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill among others.
The Collectin
Ehrenreich co-founded the group The Collectin with Zoë Worth in New York City in 2009. The group is made up of group of actors, writers, producers and directors who collaborate on films and theater performances. The group has put on eight theater productions in both New York City and Los Angeles including As the Boat Approaches, a one-act play by Justin Kuritzkes.
On January 8, 2015 The Collectin released their first feature film Running Wild via video on demand.
