💕 This is my very dear Dreamers friend, Kelso... love it. (I posted this on his Facebook post about who is Mark's best student; it was a skit they filmed, with Kelso and other student's of Mark's arguing over it.)
Angel: "Guess who figured out and then typed up that list of his movies for him several years ago now, lol. Me. You're welcome! I am SO GLAD you and Mark found each other (and me)! This is awesome! Much love, xo. PS My Granddaughter, LAILEIGH "Hallelujah Baby/Hallelujah Laileigh" is Mark's BEST STUDENT LOL My best to all of you! xo"

Mark DeAlessandro Stuntman MD
Mark is a living Legend in Hollywood as a stuntman, stunt coordinator and actor with many roles throughout his career. It has been a huge honor to have attended several of his Action Acting seminars. His dedication to his students is genuine and heartfelt on and off the set. His passion to Christ and fellowship has been just as important to me as his training and connections he has put on my plate. His next seminar is in Boston, Feb 28th with more in the works for 2026. I will be personally collaborating this year on a couple seminars that will involve some wild west theatrics and Cowboy culture. If you ever wanted to be involved in action acting or learning how to prepare for auditions, Mark is one of those seasoned veterans that knows the business and the people behind it.

PS My Granddaugher, LAILEIGH "Hallelujah Baby/Hallelujah Laileigh" is Mark's BEST STUDENT LOL My best to all of you! xo Angel
Mark taught Laileigh her first stunt and one of her first words, "Hallelujah" when he came to our home at "The Island on Lake Travis" in Lago Vista, Texas. We all 3 were sitting on the pier that overlooks the river. I was interviewing him for my television series on Austin Public television, "Texas Tales from a Lone Star." I had just met Mark 5 months before at Kyle Saylor's "Dinner with Dreamers" dinner that my best girlfriend, Gigi Erneta, had taken me to in Austin. Lai was born the month after. So, he had just met her, I had her sitting on my lap as we talked and I was recording everything. So, in my stories (I have about 100 of Mark and our adventures and "Dinner With Dreamers" and Gigi) are more photos and memories, here on my website. Mark looked over at baby Laileigh (Lay Lee) and said, "You love Jesus. Say Hallelujah!" I was filming and captured it all. She did, baby style, but clear as day. So, then I said, "Teach Lai her first stunt!" He did. He leaned out over the waterfalls holding Lai. Her 2nd stunt came later when I took her to one of his Action Acting/Stunt Workshops in Oklahoma. I also have photos and stories of this, I've been writing/taking photos this entire time. It was a lady who was helping Mark that day who taught Lai her 2nd stunt. Just look through my stories. We love Mark very much. Angel & Hallelujah Baby, what we started calling her after that day. Now, "Hallalujah Laileigh" because she is now 8 years old. xo Angel
