alex brown was in the very first episode of signing time! before his third birthday. he learned to sign as a baby so that he could communicate with his deaf cousin, leah. he is now in fifth grade and loves to ride his bike, rollerblade, make comic books, draw mazes and play with his little brother zachary. his favorite food is shrimp with shell pasta and his favorite color is green. he is a budding singer and pianist, but he enjoys "playing" the piano more than he enjoys practicing. a native of salt lake city, utah, alex has also lived in virginia and california. he enjoys filming "signing time!" particularly when he gets to swing on the tire swing or have pillow fights on the set with leah.
