Alexander Nathan Etel (born 19 September 1994), commonly credited as Alex Etel, is an English child actor.
His film debut was the starring role of Damian Cunningham in 2004's Millions, a family film directed by Danny Boyle. He played the lead in his second film, Jay Russell's The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep. The film, based on a Dick King Smith story about a boy who adopts a monster sea creature, opened in North America on Christmas Day, 2007 and opens in other countries in early 2008. The film is set in the Scottish Highlands during World War II, although all the scenes involving the creature itself were shot in New Zealand.[1]
Etel also played the bright-eyed ragamuffin Harry Gregson in the five-part TV adaptation of Elizabeth Gaskell's "Cranford" for the BBC and WGBH, which was transmitted on BBC 1 in the autumn of 2007 and co-starred Philip Glenister, Judi Dench, Eileen Atkins and Imogen Stubbs.[2]
Etel was born in Manchester. He enjoys football, swimming, listening to music, PlayStation, Trampolining, go-carting, and playing cricket, and qualified as a scuba diver following his experience on The Waterhorse. He hopes one day to play for Manchester United, his favourite team.
