What to Know About A Babysitter’s Guide To Monster Hunting Star Alessio Scalzotto
Actor Alessio Scalzotto is swiftly making a name for himself, and we couldn't be more excited.
We first stumbled upon him in Netflix's action-packed sci-fi adventure Rim of the World, which debuted last year, and we can't wait for his next movie, A Babysitter's Guide to Monster Hunting to premiere on the platform on Oct. 15. The film also stars Pose's Indya Moore and Harry Potter's Tom Felton, and it can't come soon enough. Alessio also makes music under the stage name zotto, and he's just as accomplished as an artist as he is an actor.
We believe Alessio's on his way to the top, and we wanted the chance to get to know everything we could about him at this step of his journey. Keep reading to find out everything he revealed to us.

Fun Facts:
1. Alessio says National Geographic's Genius series, in which he played a 14-year-old Pablo Picasso, has had a massive effect on the rest of his life.
"Picasso had a big impact on me because I felt like I could relate to Picasso and what he went through as a young artist. He got a lot of his talent from his dad and I believe I inherited my love for music from my dad. It was a huge honor to have played the younger version of him."
