Well, Alex is clearly smitten with him... and he's got just about the most interesting name EVER. Are there any pics of the doc??

Well... maybe five men in the world, Alle... not a fair standard!

But is that HIS pic in the link? Cause he looks mighty young... which would explain why they hired someone ALex's age to do this. I was totally picturing an older guy!

:giggle: Alle!

His bio doesn't include DOB, so who knows! He got his BS in 1990, he is young.
A wunderkind for sure!

I am so excited to report that I finally saw my first 3Rivers promo!! It aired at 1pm cst. I didn't hear if they pronounced his name correctly, because I had the tv on mute and the ipod on. I tried pulling out the ipod and turning up the volume while running once before with not so good results, so I blew off attempting it again!

What I loved was seeing Alex's face--and his face was the only one in this short ad, and his name in big letters---as if everyone already knows who he is!! Which if they don't have the pleasure, they will soon.

And dc--thanks for getting that Plain Dealer article. If I had known about this guy 1 1/2 years ago, I could have done some research myself---spent some time at the Clinic while my brother was in the neuro dept for several weeks. That hospital has a great reputation for being cutting edge.

Nice! And yes, he knows how to pronounce Alex's name!
I also like the AOL touch at the end :hearts:
Now, IF the AOL fans will show up? You can bet we will :snicker:

Posted by alyssa on MLD..we are a tenacious bunch, aren't we?? :flirt:

OK everyone...the great debate is over. I got to the bottom of the mystery. I spoke with Alex's management and they confirmed that Alex DID NOT change the way the pronounces his name. It is O'Locklin just like Alex has been saying it. So basically CBS and the rest are saying it wrong, but she said she is going to have Alex try and have it corrected. Can you believe what we started. Got love this fandom, OH the things we obsesses over. Hope this makes everyone feel better.
