Early life, family and education

Linz was born in Santa Barbara, California, the son of Deborah (née Baltaxe), an attorney, and Dr. Daniel Linz, a professor of communication at the University of California, Santa Barbara.[2] He has two younger sisters, Lily Alice and Livia. His parents are divorced, and he lived with his mother. The family is Jewish, and Alex had a bar mitzvah ceremony.[3]

Acting career

Linz made his professional acting debut in 1995 on an episode of the television series Cybill.[9] He subsequently appeared in several television productions, played Phillip Chancellor IV on the soap opera The Young and the Restless in 1995 for a short period of time.[9]

He was cast as the son of Michelle Pfeiffer's character in the 1996 feature film One Fine Day.[10] His big breakthrough came in the 1997 Christmas film Home Alone 3, but the film received a lukewarm response due to lacking a reprising cast that represented the McCallister family of the previous blockbuster Home Alone feature films.[11] In 2001, Linz played the title character in the Disney film Max Keeble's Big Move, which received mixed reviews and was a box-office failure.[12][13]
