Alexander James McLean

My hero is Alexander James Mclean. Every body knows him as A.J. He was born in West Palm Beach Florida, on January 9,1978. He's a Capricorn.

His parent's names are Bob and Dennis. When he was young, his parents got divorced. He was born in West Plam Beach but he grew up in kissimmee, Florida. Then when he was in the 7th grade, he and his mom moved to Orlando.

When he was in Orlando he landed a role on a Nickelodeon show. He also appeared in about 70 plays. During this timehe would often see Howie and Nick when they were auditioning for parts in plays.

Now, in the present his failure is that the Backstreet Boys had to cancel some shows because A.J. became depressed and also suffered from alcohlism. He finshed high school but he never went to college because the Backstreet Boys were formed.

I think he is my hero because he's famous and he has alot fans that care about him. I think he is hero because he was able to admit to his fans that he had a problem, and he got help. Now he and the Backstreet Boys are back on the road. I was fortunate to see them when they started there tour again. A.J. is my hero becausehis problem proves that famous peaple aren't better regular peaple that no one has heard of. I think A.J. would say every one has problems but we can all get through them.
