Many of you will remember David Alvarez performed in a short film for NYU a few years ago called Child's Play. Well, it's now up on Vimeo! Be forewarned, it's hard to watch...and has several "triggers", as the saying goes, but it's sooooooooo powerful!!! Major kudos to the director, to David, and to everyone else involved!

Thanks Sean for posting this. I've been looking for that film for ages.
David is a fascinating actor, I must say. The film was indeed not easy to watch but that's waht bullied children go through.

David is listed among the cast of Rachel Unraveled. Although not credited as a BETM alumn, William Youmans (George on Broadway; Wicked) is also among the cast.
The pilot episode of “Rachel Unraveled” will be available in mid-December on Vimeo. More information about the web series can be found on Twitter at @RUtheseries.

Here's a great video about David. It's in Spanish, but you get the idea, as it quickly runs through his time in the Broadway show, winning the Tony, and now coaching the new Mexican Billys.
