Who plays Alex Walter in My Life With the Walter Boys? (Ashby Gentry age, Instagram, and more)

My Life With the Walter Boys lands on Netflix on Dec. 7. It follows teen girl Jackie Howard (Nikki Rodriguez), who after losing her family in a terrible accident, is forced to relocate to rural Colorado to live with her new guardian, Katherine Walter, and her family. One of the Walter family members that we meet is Alex Walter, portrayed by Ashby Gentry.

When Jackie arrives in Silver Falls, she has a hard time adjusting to the small town. But luckily, she has Alex to help her get used to things. Katherine and her husband George have 10 kids in total, with Alex being one of them.

Alex is the quiet sibling out of the bunch. He always has his nose in some fantasy book. He’s also sweet and reliable, which is what makes Jackie gravitate towards him. However, things between them become complicated once romantic feelings are involved. It doesn’t help that Alex’s older brother Cole (Noah LaLonde) also likes Jackie. This creates an intense love triangle.
