The audition paid off as he snagged the role to play adventure-loving Alex over hundreds of other hopefuls. His fearless personality convinced Stephen Sommers that he was right for the part after only a few meetings, and the film’s cast and crew agreed that he is much like the brave, action-minded Alex in real life.
The son of a banker father and producer mother, he attends a Catholic boys’ school in London. Although he has taken weekly drama classes for several years with his older brother Jack and his little sister he had zero acting experience.
The film was a big hit when released and was certainly a great popcorn action flick and it seemed a Freddie was destined to child stardom but disappeared from the scene for seven years showing up again in 2008 in the British series The Children playing Jack for three episodes.
All his following work has been on TV in the UK with appearances in series such as The Bill (2009), Doctors (2010), The Pillars of the Earth for eight episodes and in 2013 “House of Anubis” as Benji Reed.
So where are we now? After graduating from Oxford Brookes University with a Bachelor of Arts, he completed an internship at London’s The Red Brick Road, an advertising agency.
Last know info placed Freddie Boath as a “marketing and advertising professional,” but still hopes to continue acting.

The Mummy Returns was a fun movie and oh was Freddie Boath’s character ever annoying.
The Mummy Returns is a fun movie, I loved that when I was younger, I was wishing I was Alec on that awesome adventure.
The character of Alex was very annoying but what a fun movie, a good job by Freddie Boath.
Freddie grew up quite fit, you should see him now all grown up, his character Alex in The Mummy Returns must be one of the most annoying kids in movie history. lolz
The Mummy Returns was a lot of fun, can’t deny it was entertaining and the kid was good, was expecting to see him in a ton of stuff after.
